To return therefore unto Zuinglius and the Helvetians, of whom we have here presently to entreat, you heard before how the tumult and commotion between the two Cities of Zuricke and Berne, and the other v. Cities of the Cantons, was pacified by the means of intercession, which peace so continued the space of two years. After that the old wound waxing raw again, began to burst out, & gather to an head: which was by reason of certain injuries, and opprobrious words and contumelies, which the reformed cities had received of the other: wherefore the Tigurines and the Bernates stopping all passages and straits, would permit no corn nor victual to pass unto them. This was in the year of our Lord. 1531,

And when great trouble was like to kindle thereby, the French king with certain other townships of Switzerland, as the Glarians, Friburgians, Soloturnians,1 and other coming between them, laboured to set them at agreement, drawing out certain conditions of peace between them. Which conditions were these, that all contumelies & injuries past should be forgotten. That hereafter neither part should molest the other. That they which were banished for religion, should again be restored. That the v. Pages might remain without disturbance in their religion, so that none should be restrained amongst them from the reading of the old and new Testament.2
