Note 162 — XXXIX.—To Farel.
Reading edition
Cardinal Sadolet, Bishop of Carpentras, informed of the troubles of Geneva, had written to the magistrates of that town exhorting them to return to the communion of the Roman Church. Calvin wrote a reply to Sadolet, and that letter, dated from Strasbourg, 1st September 1539, is one of the most remarkable monuments of the Reformer's genius. See Calv. Opera, edit. d'Amsterdam, tom. viii.; and the Recueil des Opuscules, p. 145.
