ote 191: "You err, Master Jacques," Crespin tells us that Mazurier
used to say, "You err, Master Jacques; for you have not looked into the
depth of the sea, but merely upon the surface of the waters and waves."
"_You err, Master Jacques_" became a proverbial expression in the mouths
of the inhabitants of Meaux for a generation or more. Actiones et
Monimenta (Geneva, 1560), fol. 52 _verso_.]

[Footnote 193: His sentence seems to have been seven years' imprisonment
in the priory of St. Martin des Champs, and it was the prior that
denounced him to parliament. Ibid., _ubi infra_.]

[Footnote 194: Crespin, _ubi supra_, fol. 53; Hist. eccles., i. 4; Haag,
France prot., s. v. On the 26th of August, 1526, if, as is likely, he is
the "jeune filz, escolier beneficie, non aiant encore ses ordres de
prestrise, nomme maistre ... natif de Therouanne, en Picardie," whom the
Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris refers to--page 291--as having abjured
on Christmas eve, 1525, and been burned "le mardi 28^e aoust, 1526." At
any rate, as M. Herminjard has remarked, Beza and Crespin are certainly
wrong in placing Pauvan's recantation and execution respectively a year
too early (in 1524 and 1525, instead of 1525 and 1526). The date of the
Sorbonne's judgment is decisive on this point.]

[Footnote 195: Our authority for the remark of the Parisian doctor,
Pierre Cornu, is Farel, in a MS. note to a hitherto inedited letter of
Pauvan, and in his speech at the discussion at Lausanne. Herminjard, i.
293, 294. Farel's application was not without pungency: "Votre foi
est-elle si bien fondee qu'un jeune fils, qui encore n'avoit point de
barbe, vous ait fait tant de dommage, sans avoir tant etudie ne veu,
sans avoir aucun degre, et vous etiez tant?" The admirer of heroic
fortitude will scarcely subscribe to the words of the Jesuit Daniel,
Hist. de France, x. 24: "On ne donne place dans l'histoire _a ces
meprisables noms_, que pour ne laisser ignorer la premiere origine de la
funeste contagion," etc.]
