JOHN CALVIN.

[274] The Reformer having attacked the _Interim_ in one of his

writings, was accused of Pelagianism by a German theologian, perhaps

Flacius Illyricus. He replied to this accusation in a publication

entitled, _Appendix Libelli de vera Ecclesiæ reformandæ ratione,

in qua refutat Censuram quamdam typographi ignoti de parvalorum

Sanctificatione et muliebri Baptismo_. Geneva, 1550.

I understand that you require a maid-servant,--neither yourself nor

your brothers told me so. However, having heard it from others, I

wish to tell you that there is a woman here who is pious, upright,

and careful, and advanced in years, who would gladly serve you if

she could be of use to you.

All your friends salute you kindly, especially M. Normandie, yet

this does not detract from the regard of the others--from that of

Verron, for instance, the writer of the present letter.
