This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. SOCINUS. AMONG the Italian free inquirers who sought refuge in Switzerland from dread of the Roman Inquisition, we find the name of Laelius Socinus. He had been conspicuous (it is said) in a society or club formed in 1546 of about forty members, who were accustomed to meet in Vicenza, to discuss questions growing out of the new Reform, including the church doctrine of the Trinity. This was the same year when Servetus opened his correspondence with Calvin: and his doctrine had already (1539), as we see in Melanchthon's correspondence, been reported as dangerously current in northern Italy. What with him had been a motive of exalted religious mysticism became with these young men a topic of scholarly criticism and rational inquiry. The society, if it ever had a formal existence, was soon dispersed. Its secret ramifications were traced. The inquisitorial police were set on all sides to the task of uprooting its feeble growth. In Venice it was thought to suppress the rising heresy by drowning in the sea. We are told1 how the victims were taken out by night in boatloads, the boats being connected two-and-two by a plank laid across, upon which the condemned were placed; then, the boats being pulled suddenly apart, they were plunged into the water, just gasping a prayer to Christ as the waves of the Adriatic closed over them. The more fortunate found safety in exile. Laelius, with some of his companions, escaped to Switzerland in 1547; and here, after a year or two of travel, he found a home, usually in Zurich, for most of his remaining years, till his death, in 1562! 1 By Cantu, also by Ranke. The family of Socinus (Sozzini) was eminent in Siena, and was allied by marriage with several houses of rank, notably that of Piccolomini.
