a Protestant reformer, born in Alsace,
in 1491; first united with Luther, but
afterward inclined to Zwinglius, though
he labored much to bring the two parties
into a union. He went to England, in
1549, and was made Divinity Professor
at Cambridge, where he died, Feb. 28,
1551. In the reign of Mary, his body
was taken up and burned. His writings
are very numerous.
