Note 347 — Chapter IV

Suriano says this hostility of Paris toward Protestantism was greater, perhaps, because it was favored by the nobles, who were naturally hated—“la plebe di questa Città che per professione è nemica delle nove sette, forse perchè sono favorite dalli nobili, li quali sono odiati per natura.”—Op. cit., May 2, 1561. Cf. May 16, ab init. (Huguenot Society of London).
