ormation in the Time of Calvin, vi. 59, 60. [288] Laing's Knox, i. 40, 41. [289] [See it so described in the passage quoted, _supra_, p. 240 n.] [290] [He calls it a _latrina_ in his 'Responsio ad Cochlei Calumnias,' sign. A v.] [291] [Now known as Bishop's Hall.] [292] Responsio ad Cochlei Calumnias, sign. A vj. [293] Responsio ad Cochlei Calumnias, sign. A vj. [294] Ibid. [295] No doubt James Wedderburn, merchant at the West Kirk Style of Dundee, who carried on a large trade with the Continent, and was known to be friendly to those holding the reformed opinions. One of his sons was then studying at St Andrews, and probably had been the means of communication between the canons and Dundee to secure beforehand a speedy departure for their fugitive friend. [For many interesting details concerning the sons of this Dundee merchant, see Dr Mitchell's Wedderburns and their Work, 1867; and also his edition of The Gude and Godlie Ballatis, 1897, pp. xvii-xxxii, lxxxiii-civ.] [296] [In his Introduction (pp. xviii-xx) to Gau's 'Richt Vay to the Kingdom of Heuine,' Dr Mitchell says: "The treatise 'De Apostolicis Traditionibus,' in which he [_i.e._, Alesius] has given an account of his visit, and of the manner in which he was received by his countrymen and the reforming preachers of Malmoe, is one of the rarest of his minor treatises, and is not to be found in any of our Scottish libraries, nor in the British Museum, nor even in the library of the University of Leipsic, in which he was so long an honoured professor.... Neither the name of Gau nor that of any other of his countrymen then in the city is given by Alesius.... Principal Lorimer has ingeniously conjectured that Gau may have come out to act as chaplain to his countrymen at Malmoe. And I am inclined to accept the conjecture to a modified extent.... At any rate, we find that before the close of 1533 he was in Denmark, and had got such an accurate knowledge of the Danish language that he had translated and published a treatise of considerable length from Danish into his native Scotch." In the Appendix to the same Introduction (p. xlv) Dr Mitchell explains that "modern Danish scholars express doubts whether, in the early part of the 16th century, any nation, save the German as represented by the Hanseatic League, was organised as a distinct community at Malmoe."] [297] [This sentence is interlined, and the word which seems to be _first_ is rather indist
