‘Quæ pontificii conventicula his viginti annis aut amplius ad opprimendum evangelium habuerunt,’ etc.—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 472. March 1541. A summary of the cardinal’s discourse is given in Sleidan’s _Hist. of the Reform._ ii. book xiii. p. 207. Edit. of the Hague, 1767. Calvin’s reply is in the _Opp._ v. p. 461. It is omitted in the previous collections of his works. Footnote 59: ‘Everso sublatoque episcopali munere, sub ejus nomine tyrannidem prorsus antichristianam stabilire.’—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 472. Footnote 60: ‘Si qui autem alia requirant, hos nec protestantes inter suos deputabunt.’—_Ibid._ p. 475. Footnote 61: ‘Cæterarum observationum ecclesiis sua relinquenda est libertas.’—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 477. Footnote 62: ‘Nihil itaque a protestantibus exsistit, cur difficile nedum impossibile sit solidam et piam ecclesiarum concordiam restituere.’—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 478. Footnote 63: ‘Catholici protestantes.’ Calvin evidently denotes by this phrase the Protestants who, like himself, wish for one universal church, one in faith, in charity, and in hope, although it may have diversities in church government and in forms of worship. The conception of such a church is a grand one. Footnote 64: ‘Totum etiam orbem ad consortium veræ et unicæ religionis Christi permoveri.’—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 481. Footnote 65: There is a whole body of Catholic literature devoted to the description of the immorality of Romish ecclesiastics; works of a grave character, satirical and humoristic works, &c. See the _De ruina ecclesiæ_ of Nic. de Clémengis, rector of the university of Paris, who calls the ecclesiastics _Porci Epicurei_. Bebel, _Triumphus Veneris_. Théobald, _Conquestus in Concil_. _Const._, says—‘Sacerdotes non solum tabernas sed etiam lupanaria intrare: puellas, maritatas atque noviciales, corrumpere; episcopos eodem vitio laborare.’ Footnote 66: ‘Esset magnum monstrum in corpore Christi.’—Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 489. Footnote 67: Isa. viii. 9, 10. Calv. _Opp._ v. p. 499. Footnote 68: ‘Donec uti uno incendio Germaniam viderint conflagrare.’—_Ibid._ p. 498. Footnote 69: Calvin on 1 Tim. i. 17. Footnote 70: This was noticed by the editors of Calvin’s works. See vol. v. _Prolegomena_, p. liii, 1866. ‘Hoc Farnesii consilium. . . ubi mensibus aliquot post emanasset, Johannes Calvinus excusum typis commentario vestivit’ (p. lv). Footnote 71: ‘Crede mihi, in ejusmodi actionibus opus est fortibus animis qui alios confirment.’—Calv. _Opp._ xi. p. 216. Footnote 72: ‘Si essemus dimidio Christo contenti, facile transigeremus.’—_Ibid._ p. 217. Footnote 73:
