Corp. Ref., xliii. 337-344. {58} For the Frankfort affair, see Laing's Knox, iv. 1-40, with Knox's own narrative, 41-49; the letters to and from Calvin, 51-68. Calvin, in his letter to the Puritans at Frankfort, writes: "In the Anglican Liturgy, _as you describe it_, I see many trifles that may be put up with," Prof. Hume Brown's rendering of tolerabiles ineptias. The author of the "Troubles at Frankfort" (1575) leaves out "as you describe it," and renders "In the Liturgie of Englande I see that there were manye tollerable foolishe thinges." But Calvin, though he boasts him "easy and flexible in mediis rebus, such as external rites," is decidedly in favour of the Puritans. {60} Knox i. 244. {62a} Knox, i. 245, note I. {62b} Ibid., iv. 245. {66} I conceive these to have been the arguments of the party of compromise, judging from the biblical texts which they adduced. {67} Knox, i. 247-249. {71a} Knox, i. 92. {71b} Ibid., iv. 75-84. {73} Knox; iv. 238-240. {74} We shall see that reformers like Lord James and Glencairn seem, at this moment, to have sided with Mary of Guise. {76a} Knox, i. 267-270. {76b} Corpus Reformatorum, xlvi. 426. {77a} More probably by Calvin's opinion. {77b} Knox, iv. 248-253; i. 267-273. {78} Stevenson, Selected MSS., pp. 69, 70 (1827); Bain, i. 585; Randolph to Cecil, January 2, 1561. {80a} Knox, iv. 255-276. {80b} Ibid., i. 273, 274. {81a} Knox, i. 275, 276. {81b} Ibid., i. 273, 274. {83} Knox, iv. 501, 502. {84} Knox, iv. 358. Zurich Letters, 34-36. {85} Knox, iv. 486, 488. {87a} Wodrow Miscellany, vol. i. {87b} Here the "Historie of the Estate" is corroborated by the Treasurer's Accounts, recording payment to Rothesay Herald. He is summoning George Lovell, David Ferguson (a preacher, later minister of Dunfermline), and others unnamed to appear at Edinburgh on July 28, to answer for "wrongous using and wresting of the Scriptures, disputing upon erroneous opinions, and eating flesh in Lent," and at other times forbidden by Acts of Parliament (M'Crie, 359, note G). Nothing is here said about riotous iconoclasm, but Lovell had been at the hanging of an image of St. Francis as early as 1543, and in many such godly exercises, or was accused of these acts of zeal. {87c} "Historie of the Estate of Scotland," Wodrow Miscellany, i. 53-55. {88a} Knox, i. 301. {88b} Knox appears (he is very vague) to date Calde
