[72] Peter Konzen, minister of Berne, deputy to the Synod of Zurich.
In that assembly he manifested the most hostile sentiments toward
Farel and Calvin, whose conduct at Geneva he disapproved.
[73] In order to testify the conciliatory spirit which animated
them, Calvin and Farel accompanied, within a short distance
from Geneva, the deputation which had been charged to entreat
their return. But their solicitations having been rejected, they
determined to proceed to Basle, where they arrived after a most
fatiguing and even perilous journey. See following letter.
