Note 462 — CXXIII.—To Melanchthon.[451]
Reading edition
Chatelain, Bishop of Mâeon, Reader to the King, Francis I., who partook of his taste and disposition. Favourable to the Reformation, which, however, he dared not to profess openly, this prelate, at a later period, betrayed the hopes of the Reformed by taking up his position among the persecutors of the Gospel.—See Beza, Hist. Eccl., tom. i. pp. 79, 80.
