Reading edition
MSC. de Roset, liv. iii. ch. xvii.—Registre du 1 Janvier, 1534.—Spon. i. p. 50.—Ruchat, iii. p. 244.—Roset and Farel, both contemporaries, and in a position to know the truth, report the fact that the Holy Scriptures were to be burnt. The minutes of the council do not mention it; but the secretary occasionally toned down what seemed too strong for a council the majority of which was at that time catholic.
