A. avait avec ceux de Genève_. This manuscript of about 25 pages has supplied us with the particulars in the text. [481] The name is illegible in the manuscript, but it looks like _Conmes_.

Geneva, bundle 12, No. 47. CHAPTER VII. THE REFORMERS AND THE REFORMATION ENTER GENEVA. (OCTOBER 1532.) On one fine autumn day (2nd October), Farel and Saunier 'having finished their journey through Piedmont,' reached that beautiful neighbourhood where the Alps and the Jura, drawing near each other, form a rich valley, in the midst of which calmly sleep the pure waters of an azure lake. They soon distinguished the three old towers of the cathedral of Geneva rising high above the houses. They pressed their horses, whose speed was relaxed through fatigue, and entered the city of the huguenots. They had been directed to the Tour Percée,[494] which they found in a street situated on the left bank of the Rhone, and bearing its name. They stopped in front of the inn, dismounted from their horses, spoke to the landlord, and took up their quarters under his roof. [Sidenote: FAREL CONSULTS WITH OLIVETAN.]
