What is that I hear about the ludicrous engagement of the
Bombardiers? Why, they say that it has become a matter of ridicule
to the whole neighbourhood! What brazen impudence! As if they
were not everywhere sufficiently odious already, unless they
take occasion from every folly: thus it is that God darkens the
understanding of his enemies, either with frivolities or things of
nought. I shall remove within two days to the dwelling of Bucer. I
have kept this letter ten days waiting for a messenger.
