To Theodore Beza. 60.

THe 21. day of this moneth right worthie man, and welbeloued brother in Christ, I came safe and in health vnto Tigure, and am all manner of wayes, ioy∣fullie receiued of all sorts of people in the ci∣tie. And the two captaines of souldiers that brought me home were so honoured by the Consuls, Senate, and officers, and were so bountifullie and noblie intreated, as they might easilie vnderstand what account this commonweale maketh of their masters. Lastlie there be appointed for honour sake to bring them to Berna. But I had rather you should heare these things of them when they come to the Court, than to write any more of that matter. Further you will not beléeue how much our fellowe ministers reioysed to heare that concorde continued sure and in∣uiolate betwéene vs all the while that wée were together: and not without cause. For what can be more ioyful in the Church, than brotherlie agréement? But of you and other of the brethren there is mention made, and y^e verie honourablie. These things be com∣fortable and as I perswade my selfe will not a little recreate you in your great labours. But with this ioy were sprinkled certaine heauy newes. For it is writtē out of France, that from king Philip there bee sent verie threatning letters vnto the Kings gouer∣nours, whereby he séemed not to desire but to commaund, that the authoritie of the Ro∣mane Bishoppe shoulde remaine in Fraunce without impeachment, & that otherwise he would professe himselfe to bee an open eni∣mie of them who otherwise would than they had decréed. Further it was added that the king commaunded that the Bishops which were departed, shoulde returne againe to Poyssi and should there confute the confessi∣on of the French Churches. These thinges séeme vnto vs both newe and hard. Howbe∣it we will giue no full credite vnto them, vn∣lesse we be certified by you: which I beséech you my welbeloued brother in Christ, that either yée will not differre or neglect to doe. Fare you well most woorthie man. GOD through Iesus Christ make your labours fruitfull. In like manner aide vs with your prayers, and earnestlie salute in my name our brethren and friends. My Iulius saluteth you and also Thomas Blaurerus, who as his letters testifie, most hartily loueth you. From Tigure the 25. day of Nouember, 1561.
