vous tiendrai promesse, au plaisir de Dieu, que si besoin fait je vous fournerai les traités lesquels il a fait imprimer, et écrits de sa main aussi bien que les épîtres. J'eusse déjà mis peine de les rétirer s'ils eussent été en cette ville, mais ils sont à Lausanne il y a deux ans. Si M. Calvin les eût eu, je crois pour ce qu'ils vallent qu'il les eût bientôt renvoyés à l'auteur; mais pour ce qu'il les avoit addrsssé aussi bien à d'autres, ceux là les ont retenu. Même à ce que j'ai autrefois entendu, le dit sieur ayant suffisament répondu pour contenter un homme raisonnable, voyant que celà ne profitoit rien envers un tel ouvrage, ne daigna jamais lire le reste, pour ce qu'il étoit déjà trop battu des sottes, rêveries et du babil que l'autre ne fait que réitérer, ayant toujours même chanson. Ei afin que vous entendiez que ce n'est pas d'aujourdhuy que ce malheureux s'efforce de troubler l'Eglise, tachant de méner les ignorans en une même confusion avec lui, il y a 24 (ans) passés qu'on l'a rejetté et chassé des principales églises d'Allemagne, et s'il se fût trouvé au lieu jamais il n'en fût parti. Entre les épîtres d'Ecolampade, la 1ère, et la 2de s'addressent à luy avec tel titre que lui appartient, Serveto Hispano neganti Christum esse Dei Filium, consubstantialem Patri. Mélancthon en parle aussi en quelques passages. Mais me semble que vous avez la preuve assez aisée, par ce que je vous ai déjà envoyé pour enfoncer plus avant, voire pour commencer le tout. Quant à l'imprimeur je ne vous mande pas les indices par lesquels nous avons entendu que c'étoit Balthasar Arnoullet et Guillaume Guéroult, son beau frère; mais tant y a que nous en sommes bien assuré; et de fait il ne pourra pas le nier. Il est bien possible que c'aura été aux dépens de l'auteur, et que lui aura rétiré les copies en sa main; mais si trouverez vous que l'impression est sortie de la boutique que je vous nomme. Pour ce que le messager demande être dépêché bientôt, m'ayant toutes fois présenté vos lettres bien tard, de peur comme je crois d'être solicité à bien faire, je vous ai fait cette réponse en brief, parquoy je vous prie excuser la hativeté. Il me semble que j'avois omis de vous écrire qu'après que vous auriez fait des épîtres, qu'il vous plût ne les égarer afin de les me renvoyer. Qui sera l'endroit où je ferai fin à la présente, me recommandant toujours à votre bonne grace, etc.
