On Tuesday, October 3, Dr. Blancherose (of whom it was said _il tenait de la lune_) addressed the assembly. Even if the clergy were silent he thought himself quite competent to maintain his cause. ‘Magnificent and mighty lords,’ he began, ‘I am a physician; my profession is that of medicine, not that of theology.’ To which Farel politely answered, ‘To be a physician does not at all clash with true theology. St. Luke was a physician likewise.’--‘I have taught,’ said Blancherose, ‘in many cities and universities of France; moreover, I was once physician to the king, and afterwards to the princess of Orange.’ He then began to set forth strange theories on what he called the _monarchies_ of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Caroli was present. It is known that this inconsistent and whimsical man was sometimes a Papist and sometimes a Protestant. For the moment he was Protestant. So he raised the cry, just as if he were with a hunting party, ‘A hare started out of the Donatist warren!’ The priests themselves were not particularly pleased with their lay companion in arms. Mimard, therefore, schoolmaster of Vevey, and Jacques Drogy, vicar of Morges, hastened to the rescue, hoping to retake from the enemy what he had carried off. But their attempt had no great success. Drogy renewed his speech on Wednesday, October 4. He must have known well what kind of life was led by many priests, monks, and laymen, who at the same time that they were doing everything to save themselves by legal works, found therein a support, and, so to say, an indulgence, for giving themselves up unscrupulously to an impure life. Nevertheless, he showed that he was greatly alarmed, and no doubt sincerely, at the dangers to which the doctrine of justification by faith alone would expose the work of sanctification. He therefore said, ‘If you say that a man is justified by faith and not by works, people will not take the trouble to live well.’ Drogy was seeking light. The sayings of the reformers had disturbed him, and all that he desired was to see the truth clearly. [Sidenote: THE CHURCH AND THE SCRIPTURES.]
