Note.—Just in time two manuscript tracts, in
the Swiss language, were sent to us, both of them
having been sent before this date, from the Swiss
parts, to divers churches of our fellow-believers, but
principally to those of Amsterdam, at the request
and in the name of some of the oppressed brethren;
also, in general, of the ministers and elders of the
church in the Palatinate and Alsace.

The first was written and completed on the 15th
of September 1645, and bears the signature of Jeremiah
Mangold.

The second, in the month of February, 1658, by
M. Meyli.

These two tracts, both of them written with one
design and purpose, and sent to us, shall aid us in
the carrying out of the work we have undertaken;
namely, to extend the history of the holy martyrs
who suffered for our common Christian faith, to this
our present time, and bring it to a completion.

In order to do this in the best manner, and to
bring these matters (which in one tract are described
very diffusely, and in the other, very briefly,
and sometimes abruptly), into a convenient form or
shape, we shall not grudge the labor of treating
them from their first rise, and to follow up the matters
chronologically (though they are described indiscriminately),
and to indicate each time, in order
that no error be made, as to which tract from which
we have taken it.
