[799] 'Comment il faut éviter,' &c. Des Gallars, Calvin's friend, says in his edition of the reformer's Opuscules (1552), 'Epistolas duas edidit, quas de hâc re ad quosdam amicos ex Italia scripserat.' The latest editors of Calvin's works say in the prolegomena to vol. v. (Brunswick, 1866): 'Eas in itinere Italico, anno 1536, suscepto, Calvinum scripsisse dicit Colladonius.' Colladon was one of the reformer's intimate friends. The first of these writings contains (in the French edition) 38 pages folio, and the second 35.
