Note 75 — Chapter III
Reading edition
The priests of Geneva were notoriously turbulent. We read of at least five riots which they headed. The canons were worse. Pierre Werly had attempted the assassination of Farel on October 3rd, 1532 (Jeanne de Jussie, Le Levain du Calvinisme, p. 50); he had taken an active part in the riots caused by the placards in 1532.
