Note 823 — Chapter X
Reading edition
See a letter of Alva in K. 1,502. Montluc later informed Philip II of it (Commentaires et lettres, V, 25, letter of June, 1565). The rumor seems not to have passed unheeded, for the marshal Vieilleville cautioned the King and his mother to be moderate in their course, saying that the Huguenots were many and the soldiers few (Papiers d’état du cardinal de Granvelle, VIII, 632). On the state of Geneva at this time see Roget, L’église et l’état à Genève du vivant de Calvin; étude d’histoire politico-ecclésiastique, 1867.
