The tyranny of the Roman Antichrist Having been overthrown, And its superstitions abolished In the year 1535, The most holy religion of Christ Having been restored, In its truth and purity, And the Church set in good order, By a signal favor of God; The enemy having been repelled And put to flight, And the city by a striking miracle Restored to liberty; The senate and people of Geneva have erected And set up this monument, In this place, As a perpetual memorial, To attest to future ages Their gratitude to God.
