Zuinglius had disposed his matter before,1 and contrived all his doctrine in a certain order of places, to the number of lxvij. Articles: which articles he had published also abroad before, to the end that they which were disposed, might ⟨p. 867⟩resort thither better prepared to the disputation. When the Consul had finished that which he would say, and had exhorted other to begin: then Faber first entering the matter, began to declare the cause of his sending thither, and afterward would persuade, that this was no place convenient, nor time fit for discussing of such matter by disputation,2 but rather that the cognition and tractation thereof belonged to a general Council, which he said, was already appointed, and now near at hand. Notwithstanding, Zuinglius still continued urging and requiring him, that if he had there any thing to say, or to dispute, he would openly and freely utter his mind. To this he answered again, that he would confute his doctrine by writing. This done, with a few other words on both sides had to and fro, when no man would appear,3 there to offer any disputation, the assemble brake and was discharged. Whereupon the Senate of Zuricke incontinent caused to be proclaimed through all their dominion and territory, that the traditions of men should be displaced and abandoned, and the Gospel of Christ purely taught out of the old and new Testament an. 1523. Ex Joan. Sled. lib. 3.
