{30a} Leonti Strozzio, incolumitatem modo pacti, se dediderunt, writes Buchanan.  Professor Hume Brown says that Buchanan evidently confirms Knox; but incolumitas means security for bare life, and nothing more.  Lesley says that the terms asked were life and fortune, salvi cum fortunis, but the terms granted were but safety in life and limb, and, it seems, freedom to depart, ut soli homines integri discederent.  If Lesley, a Catholic historian, is right, and if by discederent he means “go freely away,” the French broke the terms of surrender.

{58} For the Frankfort affair, see Laing’s Knox, iv. 1-40, with Knox’s own narrative, 41-49; the letters to and from Calvin, 51-68.  Calvin, in his letter to the Puritans at Frankfort, writes:  “In the Anglican Liturgy, as you describe it, I see many trifles that may be put up with,” Prof.  Hume Brown’s rendering of tolerabiles ineptias.  The author of the “Troubles at Frankfort” (1575) leaves out “as you describe it,” and renders “In the Liturgie of Englande I see that there were manye tollerable foolishe thinges.”  But Calvin, though he boasts him “easy and flexible in mediis rebus, such as external rites,” is decidedly in favour of the Puritans.
