Mention was made a little before, page 859. of the Ministers of Strasburg, which because of their Marriage,1 were in trouble and cited by the Bishop, to appear before him, and thereto be judged without the precinct of the City of Strasburg: whereas there had been a contrary order taken before between the Bishop, and the City, that the Bishop should execute no judgement upon any, but under some of the Magistrates of the said City of Strasburg. Whereupon the Senate and Citizens taking into their hands the cause of these married Ministers, in defence of their own right and liberties, wrote (as is said) to their Bishop of Strasburg, and caused the judgement thereof a while to be stayed. By reason whereof the matter was brought at length, before Cardinal Campeius Legate, sent by Pope Clement to the assemble of Norenberge, an. 1524.
