Who also for hatred & despite, hanged up the Arms of the foresaid cities of Zuricke and of Berne, upon the gallows, beside many other injuries and grievances, which they wrought against them. For the which cause the said Cities of Berne and Zuricke raised their power, intending to set upon the foresaid Switzers, as upon their capital enemies. But as they were in the field ready to encounter, one army against the other, through the means of the city of Strasburg, and other intercessors, they were parted for that time, and so returned.
