95, 796, 829, 830. Footnote 4: Zwingli's Works in the edition of Usteri and V[oe]gelin. Vol. II. Part 2. pp. 453, 455, 456. Footnote 5: A powerful and dangerous enemy of the Reformed party in Switzerland, especially in Graubuenden, and he occupied the strongly fortified castle of Musso on the northern shore of Lake Como. Footnote 6: On this point Collin himself says in his report: "The credentials could neither be read nor understood, for they were very badly written and in the most confused style; but I let them understand enough to satisfy them." Footnote 7: A confession of faith, from the four cities, Strassburg, Constance, Memmingen and Lindau, which was especially presented to the Imperial Diet at Augsburg, but neither received nor read, like the so-called Augsburg Confession drawn up by Luther and Melanchton, and signed by the German Princes, even the _Landgrave_ Philip, at least during any session of the Estates of the Empire.

CHAPTER NINTH VAIN ATTEMPTS AT RECONCILIATION. EXPORTATION OF GRAIN PROHIBITED. OUTBREAK OF WAR. BATTLE OF CAPPEL. ZWINGLI'S DEATH. The more rapid the advance of Zurich, the slower that of Bern became. She could count less on the support of her own subjects than the former. In the Oberland, the fire yet glowed beneath the ashes; discontent prevailed among the mass of those, who were punished on account of the rebellion of 1528. With that rude people, the Reformation, hastily carried out, and not as yet rooted in their minds and hearts, had tended to weaken the bonds of allegiance. Signs of war appeared also in the west. Geneva, with whom she had formed a defensive alliance, was threatened by the Duke of Savoy, and not fully relying on her own citizens, called on Bern for help. The Government
