re growing freedom of the press, that engine of
reformation in the hands of the Almighty, the more indispensable does
it become for those who would lead others, to win them over by
conscientious persuasion. But he alone can produce any permanent
impression, who along with the free, true and loving word unites the
power of his own example. Thinkers, indeed, might be willing to listen
to the former, but the latter, speaks more clearly than any mere
doctrine ever can, to the very heart of the people. Henceforward, naked
power can establish nothing. No longer can the strong mind (and this is
the character of the coming age) rule the world; only the strong and
good will be able to show, _how God rules it_; but the princes and
nations, who recognize this the soonest, shall become the wisest, and
they also will attain the greatest power.

FOOTNOTES TO CHAPTER NINTH:

Footnote 1: The author did not think it necessary to give here all the
particulars of the battle. A fuller description of it may be found in
his larger work: "_Geschichte der Eidgenossen waehrend der Zeiten der
Kirchentrennung_." II. 373, ff. Gelzer has a still more circumstantial
account in a special work, "_Die Schlacht bei Cappel_." Zurich,
Schultheiss. 1831. But the most accurate, including the minutest
details, even to the names of all who were killed, and everything that
could be collected from contemporaneous reports, is contained in
Bullinger's Chronicles, which were published a few years ago.

Footnote 2: On the contrary, in the civil wars between the two
religious parties during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the
Bernese "put their skins in danger," whilst the Zurichers did not;
though with just as little success, at least in the first.
