[15] "Cardinalium intercessione ac precibus mox soluta sunt omnia." Beza to Bullinger, March 2, 1562. Baum, ii., App., 169. [16] "Nihil hoc consilio gratius accidere potuit nostris adversariis quibus iste ludus minime placebat, adeo ut _ipse Demochares ... pene sui oblitus in meos amplexus rueret_, et ejus sodales honorifice me salutarent!"

The Venetian Barbaro represents this second conference as an extremely efficient means of spreading heresy: "La qual [in San Germano] apporto un grandissimo scandalo e pregiudizio alla religion nostra, e diede alla loro, reputazione e fomento maggiore." Rel. des Amb. Ven., ii. 74. [17] Hist. eccles. des egl. ref., i. 432. [18] "Qu'il ne s'y mettroit si avant qu'il ne s'en pust aisement tirer." Hist. eccles. des egl. ref., _ubi supra_. [19] See the frank letter of Calvin, written to him about this time, in Bonnet, Lettres franc., ii. 441; Calvin's Letters, Amer. ed., iv. 247. [20] "That pestilent yle of Sardigna!" exclaimed Sir Thomas Smith, a clever diplomatist and a nervous writer, "that the pore crowne of it should enter so farre into the pore Navarrian hed (which, I durst warraunt, shall never ware it), [as to] make him destroy his owen countrey, and to forsake the truth knowen!"
