Note 1053 — Chapter XIV · (continued 5)
E. M. Lamond translation
It is true that the council declared on this occasion “that it was by no means its mind, desire or intention to oppress the people without necessity, contrary to evangelical equity and right, or to refuse them anything which it was its duty to permit or tolerate.” Eitner, ibid., 2, p. 93, where he remarks: “It will probably be best not to attribute any duplicity to the councillors.”
