[118] Written to Bullinger after a long silence, this letter was
to be the means of drawing closer the ties of friendship which had
already united the French Reformer to the minister of Zurich, and
to remove the unjust prejudice of the latter against Bucer and the
Strasbourg ministers. See the preceding letter.
Excuses his long silence--evidences of brotherly
affection--justifies Bucer--his desire for the union of the
Church of Zurich with that of Strasbourg.
