[89] Letter without date, but written, as the first words indicate,
shortly after the departure of Calvin from Basle, and his arrival
at Strasbourg, (September 1538.) Earnestly solicited by Bucer and
Capito to associate himself in their labours, he had accepted the
charge of Professor of Theology and the ministry of the French
Church in that town.
Calvin at Strasbourg--negotiations between Bucer and the
magistrates of Geneva--first preaching of Calvin in the French
Church--Anabaptists of Metz.
