    Chapter 9 — The Swiss Reformer

    1. Wycliffe, Huss and Jerome, Luther appeared successively as reformers. A century and a half has been covered by their work, up to the Diet of Worms. Zwingle was a contemporary of Luther, and, though a leader, was but one of several that arose in the cantons of Switzerland, moved by the same Spirit of God to take their place as leaders in the great reform movement.GC-SG 21.1

    2. “In Germany the monarchial principle predominated; in Switzerland, the democratic. In Germany the Reformation had to struggle with the will of princes; in Switzerland, against the wishes of the people. An assembly of men, more easily carried away than a single individual, is also more rapid in its decisions. The victory over the papacy, which cost years of struggle beyond the Rhine, required on this side but a few months and sometimes only a few days.”—D’Aubigne b. 8, Ch. 1.GC-SG 21.2
