Note 105 — Chapter III

In a letter to Francis Daniel, of date Oct. 27th, 1553, Calvin calls Gerard “our Friend”; and in another, written about the end of the same month, he describes with a minuteness of detail impossible for anyone who was not in the inner circle, the comedy acted by the students of the College of Navarre, which was a satire directed against Marguerite, the Queen of Navarre, and Gerard Roussel, and the affair of the connection of the University of Paris and the Queen’s poem, entitled le Miroir de l’âme pécheresse; cf. Herminjard, Correspondance, etc. iii. 103-11.
