Note 348 — LXXXIX.—To Farel.

Is this Calvin's Catechisme, reprinted at Strasbourg in 1541, or perhaps the treatise De la Cêne, of which a second edition was published in the same year at Geneva? The journeys which Calvin had made in Germany, to promote the interests of the Church at Strasbourg, had laid him open to suspicion of Lutheran tendencies by the Swiss theologians; it was to remove this suspicion that he published that little work, which is distinguished by the spirit of moderation which pervades it, and which was approved of by Luther himself. See Hospinian, ii. p. 312.
