Next he went to Zurich, and laid certain questions before Bullinger, who gave answers in writing as to Knox's problems.
Could a woman rule a kingdom by divine right, and transfer the same to her husband ?--Mary Tudor to Philip of Spain, is, of course, to be understood.

Bullinger replied that it was a hazardous thing for the godly to resist the laws of a country.

Philip the eunuch, though converted, did not drive Queen Candace out of Ethiopia.

If a tyrannous and ungodly Queen reign, godly persons "have example and consolation in the case of Athaliah." The transfer of power to a husband is an affair of the laws of the country.
Again, must a ruler who enforces "idolatry" be obeyed?
May true believers, in command of garrisons, repel "this ungodly violence"?
Bullinger answered, in effect, that "it is very difficult to pronounce upon every particular case." He had not the details before him.

In short, nothing definite was to be drawn out of Bullinger.
