"Ramseyer to Basel"

Concerned with two problems which arose during the Praetorius visit. He and Dilger are now quite at unity and Ramseyer wishes he had never written the letter which he did about their differences. And the community have asked forgiveness for the accusations they had made against him in a letter to Praetorius. Ramseyer expostulated with them especially about the charge that he had treated them like animals, and they agreed that when he tried to drive them out to their farms, he was doing it for their own good. Nataniel Beko the Presbyter seems to have been the man who took the lead in asking forgiveness, and acted as the community’s spokesman.
