cil, accompanied by the police of the city,
led the Dominicans all at once to the Franciscans; and directly after
that they went to the Augustinians and summoned them all. They were
obliged to lay down their keys of office in presence of my lords on a
table in the convent-parlor. After a long speech and friendly words,
they again led them over the upper bridge to the barefooted friars; and
thus the rulers of the city, of the Small and Great Councils, honestly
disposed of the people in all the monasteries. Soon after, their
portion was assigned them, so that those who were willing to stay in
the monastery of the Franciscans, would receive lodging and shelter
there and wood enough; besides, to each one 6 shocks of grain, 6
buckets of wine and 32 pounds _Haller_ were promised every year."

Out of the ordinary revenues of the government, aided by the property
of the suppressed monasteries, schools were founded, an alms-house, a
lazaretto for the plague-stricken, and an orphan-asylum. The hospital
was enlarged, and suitable salaries awarded to its spiritual and lay
attendants. Scholastic education was greatly needed, and where
qualified teachers could not be obtained from the city, they were
called from abroad. Thus Myconius was brought back to Zurich. Rudolph
Collin followed him from Luzern. Wiesendanger came from the village of
Dynhart, after him Pellikan from Alsace; all in order to teach the
ancient languages.

Zwingli now resolved to marry, and on the 2d of April, 1524, led Anna
Reinhart,[17] in whom he found the guardian angel of his earthly
existence, before the altar, to take the pledge of fidelity in the
presence of God and the congregation. Henceforth the priests wished to
be, above all, Christians; but to all Christians without exception, the
call has been made according to the language of the Apostle, to become
priests by inward consecration, priests without love of power and
without the spirit of caste.
