[6] ‘Pœnæ vero atrocitatem remitti cupio.’ (Calvin to Farel, Aug. 26, 1553.) Calvin appears afterwards to have prevailed on his colleagues to join him: ‘Genus mortis conati sumus mutare, sed frustra.’ ‘We endeavoured to change the manner of his death, but in vain; why did we not succeed? I shall defer telling you until I see you.’ (Same to same, Oct. 26, 1553.) Farel replied to Calvin, ‘By desiring to soften the severity of his punishment you acted as a friend towards a man who is your greatest enemy.’

[49] It has been supposed that he was brought up at Angers, but I found in the Archives of Geneva a letter addressed to John, dated 2nd September, 1513, by J. A.

[56] I found this MS. in the library at Berne (Histoire Helvétique, v. 12). It is entitled, Histoire de la Ville de Genève, by J. Bonivard. The history is not by Bonivard: it was copied at Berne in 1705 from an old MS. in the possession of Ami Favre, first syndic. Although not known at Geneva, it contains many important circumstances that Spon and Gautier have omitted either from timidity or by order, says Haller. I shall call it the Berne MS. v. 12.

[121] Bonivard places its origin in 1518, and writes Eiguenots. (Chroniq. ii. p. 331.) The Registers of the Council have it under the date of 3rd of May, 1520, and read Eyguenots. In 1521 we find in the trial of B. Toquet, Ayguinocticæ sectæ. (Galiffe, Matériaux, &c. ii. p. 164.) We come upon it later in 1526: Traitre Eyguenot. (Ibid. p. 506.) In the same year: Tu es Eguenot. (Ibid. p. 508.) Lastly, Michel Roset in his Chronicle (liv. i. ch. lxxxix.) generally writes Huguenot. In the sixteenth century as well as in the nineteenth nicknames have often passed from Geneva to France.

(See also Savyon, Annales, p. 61.) This circumstance has been the subject of a long archæological controversy, whose solution is simply this: Pécolat did not cut off, he only cut, his tongue.

[258] The Registers of the Council state, under the date of Tuesday, Aug. 23, that the arrest was made on this day; Bonivard speaks of Monday, at six o’clock. The arrest may have taken place on Monday night, but we have followed the Registers, whose accuracy should be superior to Bonivard’s, who was absent from Geneva.

[389] The official Registers of the Council (Dec. 22) say: ‘Bandière leading three or four boys.’ Syndic Balard, an eye-witness, says: ‘Bandière, accompanied by the children of some of those who have retired to Germany.’ (Journal, p. 34.) Bonivard says the same, Chroniq. ii. p. 435. It is therefore a mistake in a writer, otherwise very learned in the history of Geneva, to say that: ‘There was not a single little child with him.’ (Galiffe, Matériaux, &c. ii. p. 334.) His son did not fall into the same error. (Galiffe fils, Besançon Hugues, p. 277.)
