ft419 Colladon, Op. XXI. 56: “Il prescha (while he studied at Bourges)
quelquefois en une petite ville du pays de Berry, nommée Lignières, et
eut entrée en la maison du seigneur du lieu qui estoit pour lors: lequel
... disait ... qu’il lui semblait que, M. Jean Calvin preshoit mieux que
les moines.” His preaching at Pont l’Evèque is mentioned by Colladon,
ibid. fol. 64, and by Beza, fol. 121. See above, p. 301.
ft420 Beza, Vita C. (XXI. 125 sq.) Suffragiis presbyterii et magistratus,

ft424 Our own age is witness to this fact. I may refer to Dwight Lyman
Moody, who is a plain, unordained layman, but a genuine, God-taught
evangelist. He has probably converted more people to a Christian life
than any clergyman or learned professor of theology of this age, and
has made his home at Northfield a Jerusalem for Bible students from all
parts of the country, and even from across the sea.
ft425 Le miroirde l’âme pécheresse (1533). The book was condemned on
purely negative evidence. The silence about purgatory and the
intercession of saints was construed as a denial.
ft426 Elie Courault (Coraud, Couraud, Coraldus) afterwards fled to Basel in
1534, and became a colleague of Farel and Calvin at Geneva in 1536.
