The Senate again answering to the Bishops book, about the middle of August did write unto him: first declaring that they had read over & over again his book, with all diligence: The which book for so much as the Bishop had divulged abroad in print, they were thereof right glad because the whole world thereby might judge between them the better. After this they explained unto him the judgement and doctrine of their ministers and preachers: and finally by the authority & testimonies of the Scripture convinced his opinion, and proved the doctrine of his book to be false. But before they sent their answer to him, about the 13. day of June, they commanded all the images as well within the City, as through their dominion, to be taken down and burned quietly and without any tumult.1 A few months after, an order was taken in the said City of Zuricke, between the Canons of the church, and city, for disposing the lands and possessions of the College.
