In Switzerland from 1516 to 1525 - James Aitken Wylie

Hailer had his zeal and perseverance rewarded by
seeing in 1528 the city and powerful canton of
Bern, the first after Zurich of all the cantons of
Helvetia, pass over to the side of Protestantism.
The establishment of the Protestant worship at
Bern formed an epoch in the Swiss Reformation.
That event had been preceded by a conference
which was numerously attended, and at which the
distinctive doctrines of the two faiths were publicly
discussed by the leading men of both sides. The
deputies had their views cleared and their zeal
stimulated by these discussions, and on their return
to their several cantons, they set themselves with
fresh vigor to complete, after the example of Bern,
the work of reformation. For ten years previously it
had been in progress in most of them.
