This reverend personage, who was eighty years of age, and wore abeard as white as snow, which reached down to his girdle, --thisvenerable old man, I say, was no sooner recognized by the drunkenand armed rabble than he was accosted with the grossest abuse, andit was with difficulty they were restrained from laying violenthands upon him. At length I got him into my lodgings, but themob... fired at the house, the walls of which were only of plaster. Upon being thus attacked, I inquired for the master of the house, who, fortunately, was within. I entreated him to speak from thewindow, to some one without, to obtain permission for my beingheard. I had some difficulty to get him to venture doing so. Atlength, after much bawling from the window, the burghermasterscame to speak to me, but were so drunk that they scarcely knewwhat they said. I explained to them that I was entirely ignorantthat the grand master of the Bishop's household was a personto whom they had a dislike, and I begged them to consider theconsequences of giving offence to a person like me, who was afriend of the principal lords of the States, and I assured themthat the Comte de Lalain, in particular, would be greatly displeasedwhen he should hear how I had been received there.
