[12] Alesius relates this story in his ‘Epistola dedicatoria Comment. in Johannem.’ Bayle, in the article Alesius, says, ‘Il avait été préservé de la mort, par miracle, dans sa jeunesse.’
[13] ‘Hamiltonium familia regium quoque sanguinem attingente, natus.’—Bezæ Icones. This is the opinion of Pinkerton, McCrie, and other authors. Others suppose that Sir Patrick Hamilton (of Kincavil) was a natural son of Lord Hamilton. But in a charter of April 1498 he is called brother-german of James Lord Hamilton, eldest son of his father, which seems plainly to mean that he was not half-brother by the father’s side; and in a charter of January 1513 he is distinguished from another Hamilton, a natural son of the same lord. This last circumstance doubtless gave rise to a qui pro quo.

[35] Certain articles preached by him (ibid.) It is clear that these articles were preached as early as 1527, before Hamilton had quitted Scotland. The sentence states: ‘Faithful inquisition being made in Lent last past.’ It is of Lent last past that it speaks. Now the sentence was of the last February. The Lent of 1528 was hardly begun. Besides, the sentence states that Hamilton, after having preached, passed forth of the realm to other parts; which decides the question.

He assigns this opposition of the cardinal to the month of March in the parliament, while it is evident that it took place on January 26 at the latest.

Subsequently, Professor Gaussen, who had had a large portion of it copied several years before, presented the copy to the author. This narration is therefore drawn up from the original text.

[439] Vie de Calvin, in French, p. 29, edit. of 1864. There are three lives of Calvin, which down to the present time have been generally attributed to Theodore Beza. The first (in French), published in 1564, the year of Calvin’s death, is entirely the work of Beza. The second, also in French, but more extensive than the first, is of the year 1565. It is substantially Beza’s, but was published with augmentations by Nicholas Colladon, who was first a pastor at Vandœuvres, then, in 1562, at Geneva, became rector in 1564, and succeeded Calvin in 1566 in the chair of Theology. This life of Calvin was reprinted at Paris in 1864, and the passage we have cited is found in it, p. 29. Lastly, Theodore Beza, in 1575, prefixed to Calvin’s Letters a Life written in Latin. The work of Colladon is perhaps richer as regards facts, although that of Beza is superior in other respects.

Calvin is said to have purposed visiting Basel, to set its affairs in order. Our hypothesis appears to us to be more in harmony with the letter.

[562] This order prevails in the United States of America. In each flock distinction is made between the church, composed of communicants, and the congregation, which consists of all those who, having religious convictions, take part in all the service except the supper. From the congregation the church is regularly recruited; and these two bodies, united in charity together, contribute to the wants of the flock. [This statement is equally true of the orthodox Dissenting churches of Great Britain.—Translator.]

[619] Michel Rozet, son of Claude Rozet, who was at that time secretary of the council and editor of the Register, was member of the Council of Geneva for nearly sixty years. He was fourteen times elected syndic, and was sent on thirty-four missions into Switzerland, France, and Germany, and to Turin. He concluded several important treaties on the part of Geneva. He was very young at the time of which we are speaking, but as his father played a part there which enabled him to become acquainted with all that took place, no one could be better informed than Michel as to the facts of the period. If there be some touches in the Chroniques which are not found in the Registers of the Council, that does not in any way invalidate his authority. There are some details which a council is unwilling and ought not to insert in its Registers. It is needless to speak of Theodore Beza, who was unanimously elected to represent the Protestants at the famous Colloquy of Poissy, and in honor of whom after his death poets of all nations composed poems in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew to the number of fifty-four.

At this distance from Geneva the messenger met the deputation, at Sécheron, where the hôtel d’Angleterre formerly stood, near the country seats Bartholony and Paccard. According to the first arrangement the reformers were to have stopped at a distance of about four miles (or about six kilomètres), probably near the road called du Saugy, leading to Genthod.
