vie et les travaux de Jean Sturm, Strasb. 1855 (quoted by Herminjard);
and R. Zöpffel, Johann Sturm, der erste Rektor der Strassburger
Akademie, Strassburg, 1887.
ft523 Pedrotus (Padrut), whose name often occurs in Calvin’s letters, was a
native of Pludenz in Vorarlberg, and famous as editor and expounder
of ancient classics, hence also called Jacobus Graecus. Capito
recommended him very highly in a letter to Blaarer, Nov. 26, 1625, in
Herminjard, I. 440, note 16. He died of the pestilence at Strassburg,
1541.
ft524 Calvin to Farel, January, 1539 (Herminjard, V. 230): “Nuper ad
publicam professionem invitus a Capitone protractus sum. Ita quotidie
aut lego aut concionor.” He preached four times, and lectured three
times. The salary of 52 guilders for one year was to commence the first
of May. It is mentioned in Annal. 246, by Herminjard, V. 231, note 19,
and by Stricker, 22.
ft525 He defeated him again at Worms in the presence of Melanchthon.
Jacob Sturm, Antipappi, as quoted in Herminjard, VII. 20, note 6.
ft526 “Ter desertor, ter transfuga, ter proditor utriusque partes,” he is
called by Calvin. See on this unimportant episode Stricker, pp. 30-39.
ft527 Calvin’s letter to Martin Schalling, a minister at Regensburg, March,
1557, in Opera, XVI. 430: “Nec vero Augustanam Confessionem
repudio, cui pridem volens ac libens subscripsi sicut eam autor ipse
interpretatus est.” His colleagues, Bucer and Capito, understood the
Augsburg Confession in the same irenic spirit.
ft528 Herminjard, VII, 198 sqq.; Opera, XI. 62 sqq.
ft529 Herminjard, VII. 126-128; Opera, XI. Ep. 311, p. 220. Comp. Epp.
302, 307, 309. Calvin was not satisfied with the success.”Quantum ad
fratres attinet,” he wrote to Farel (July 6, 1541), “qui ob evangelium
laborant, non feci quod volui.” Melanchthon incurred the displeasure
of the emperor for favoring the French Protestants. Herminjard, VII.
179, note 16.
ft530 “Nihil hic novi audimus, nisi quod Rex et Caesar, certatim in pios
saeviendo, idolum Romanum sibi demereri student.” Herminjard, VI.
316, comp. note 8.
ft531 Beza (Opera, vol. XXI. 130): “Calvinus ... Domino Philippo
Melanchthoni et Gaspari Crucigero beatae memoriae imprimis gratus,
