IA, we have acted loyalty and have not failed in duty.
The sad circumstances ofthc Canton of Lucernc at this
lime are the consequence Of the resolution Of the Grand
Council which has violated the Constitution BY calling
ne Jesuits into Lucornc. When the higher authorities
yose their oath and the Constitution subOrdinstos are
freed from the obligation OF obedience.

fre disposed 10 prevent It's execution s expecting
.enience should have been passed But during a
month that the sword of justice kept suspended over
the bead OF this generally esteemed citizen. we acquired
certainty that under the scmbancc of pardon he would
Be sent into the country OF Jesuits and Lazzaron and
that there would be done IN secret what the authorities
dared no, here do openly IL then became our duty 10

our aid Last Monday. the guardian OF the Tower siad
Ter was obliged GO Htzkirck and thus the key OF
stegers prison left with Corporal Brrcr soconc
in place He compared his key with number nine OF the
epar,out and perceived that only slight alteration
was needed To enable him 10 open the door with that
which he himself made. Seek. then, no accomplices :
you would waste your labor. We say this because we
do wish that any persons should be exposed to use
less torInens.
We hope that the free part Of Switzerland will esteem
honor and. II necessary, protect us.
