Nor does the reported sequel of Labadie's life, in the ordinary accounts of him, lessen the wonder .-- Labadie did not come to London, as Milton had hoped.

When he received Milton's letter, he was on the wing for Geneva, where he arrived in June 1659, and where he continued his preaching.

Here, in the very city where Morus had once been, there still were commotions round him; and, after new wanderings in Germany, we find him at Middleburg in Holland in 1666, thus again by chance in a town where Morus had been before him.

At Middleburg he seems to have attained his widest celebrity, gathering a body of admirers and important adherents, the chief of whom was "Mademoiselle Schurmann, so versed in the learned languages." At length a quarrel with M.de Wolzogue, minister of the Walloon church at Utrecht, brought Labadie into difficulties with the Walloon Synod and with the State authorities, and he migrated to Erfurt, and thence to Altona, where he died in 1674, "in the arms of Mademoiselle Schurmann," who had followed him to the last.

He left a sect called _The Labadists_, who were strong for a time, and are perhaps not yet extinct.
