[389] Leo Juda, one of the pastors of the Church of Zurich,
translator of the Old Testament into Latin. He died of the plague
the 19th June 1542, in the sixtieth year of his age. "Our Church,"
wrote Bullinger, "has lost in that man an inestimable treasure. As
regards myself, I have lost a good part of my life by the death
of that much-loved brother; and if I did not find consolation
by the hope of a better life in that which is to come, and of
the resurrection of the dead, I must have given way under my
sorrow."--Letter, cited by Ruchat, _Hist. de la Réf._ tom. v. p.
188.
