Little is known of him. On 26 January 1526, the council of Aarau discussed his case. He apparently appeared as a preacher soon after his [[Baptism|baptism]], whereupon he was apparently banished from the canton. In that year he also preached in [[Basel (Switzerland)|Basel]]. A messenger of the council conveyed to him the order to leave the city. He then went in person to the Protestant mayor, Adelperg Meyer, and received from him a friendly repetition and explanation of the law. But soon Pfistermeyer was in the city again. It was made clear to him that he and his like-minded friends might stay in the city if they would promise not to hold any meetings. To this condition they did not consent and were again expelled. Now they went to the neighboring Therwyl and preached there. They were brought before the council, which demanded from them an [[Oath|oath]] that they would forever avoid the city and an area with a radius of ten miles around it. They refused to render the oath and were ordered to leave the city, and never to return. Nevertheless Pfistermeyer was in Basel again a year later. "He had heard that good Christian people lived here, and so God led him back and then he worked here." Again he was expelled with a very sharp threat, and apparently did not return. In the following year he was one of the eight Anabaptists who wished to participate in the great disputation held at [[Bern (Switzerland)|Bern]] in 1528, but who were arrested and who were cross-examined after the conclusion of the colloquy, and then expelled from the city and canton. Whither they went is not known. In 1530 he appeared as an Anabaptist preacher. Bern heard that he frequently preached to crowds of several hundred, though only seven were baptized. Bern then demanded that he be extradited. In March 1531 Pfistermeyer was seized at Mellingen and taken to Bern. On 19 April 1531, the preachers of Bern, [[Haller, Berchthold (1492-1536)|Berchtold Haller]], Caspar Megander (see [[Grossmann, Kaspar (1495-1545)|Grossmann]]), [[Kolb, Franz (d. 1535)|Franz Kolb]], [[Hofmeister, Sebastian (1476-1533)|Sebastian Hofmeister]], and Jakob Otherus, engaged in a debate with him, in the course of which he was led to recant. The colloquy has been printed under the title, <em>Ein christenlich gespräch gehallten zu Bernn zwüschen den Predicanten und Hansen Physter Meyer von Arouw den Widertauff, Eyd, Oberkeyt und andere Widertoufferische Artikel betreffende </em>(1531) (at GCL). By "the Holy Scripture" it was to be proved that Pfistermeyer was in error with regard to "the faith and the Christian life," and an effort was made "with all friendliness" to lead him from "his ungodly plan" in order that at least "his soul might be won." To attain this goal the preachers dealt with him "with all industry, with gentleness and with patience, out of love." Pfistermeyer was first called upon to account for his statement that the clergy were not preaching God's words but Bern's word. One of the questions dealt with was the Anabaptist view that the [[New Testament|New Testament]] is more important than the [[Old Testament|Old Testament]], a view which Pfistermeyer skillfully defended since Christ "had brought a higher and more perfect teaching." Since everything was to be directed toward faith and life, the swearing of oaths was also discussed by the clergy as being "in accord with faith and love." Pfistermeyer to be sure wanted to stay by a simple yes, but allows himself to be moved far enough on this point that "the swearing of oaths is not different from testifying to the truth" and he would therefore be permitted "to testify to his yes with God."</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Hans Pfistermeyer (Meyer), an outstanding [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]] leader of Aarau, capital of the Swiss canton of [[Aargau (Switzerland)|Aargau]], who was probably won to the Anabaptist movement by [[Gross, Jakob (16th century)|Jacob Gross]] of [[Waldshut (Baden-Württemberg, Germany)|Waldshut]] in 1525.

Little is known of him. On 26 January 1526, the council of Aarau discussed his case. He apparently appeared as a preacher soon after his [[Baptism|baptism]], whereupon he was apparently banished from the canton. In that year he also preached in [[Basel (Switzerland)|Basel]]. A messenger of the council conveyed to him the order to leave the city. He then went in person to the Protestant mayor, Adelperg Meyer, and received from him a friendly repetition and explanation of the law. But soon Pfistermeyer was in the city again. It was made clear to him that he and his like-minded friends might stay in the city if they would promise not to hold any meetings. To this condition they did not consent and were again expelled. Now they went to the neighboring Therwyl and preached there. They were brought before the council, which demanded from them an [[Oath|oath]] that they would forever avoid the city and an area with a radius of ten miles around it. They refused to render the oath and were ordered to leave the city, and never to return. Nevertheless Pfistermeyer was in Basel again a year later. "He had heard that good Christian people lived here, and so God led him back and then he worked here." Again he was expelled with a very sharp threat, and apparently did not return. In the following year he was one of the eight Anabaptists who wished to participate in the great disputation held at [[Bern (Switzerland)|Bern]] in 1528, but who were arrested and who were cross-examined after the conclusion of the colloquy, and then expelled from the city and canton. Whither they went is not known. In 1530 he appeared as an Anabaptist preacher. Bern heard that he frequently preached to crowds of several hundred, though only seven were baptized. Bern then demanded that he be extradited. In March 1531 Pfistermeyer was seized at Mellingen and taken to Bern. On 19 April 1531, the preachers of Bern, [[Haller, Berchthold (1492-1536)|Berchtold Haller]]<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"><em></del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"></em></del>Caspar Megander (see [[Grossmann, Kaspar (1495-1545)|Grossmann]]), [[Kolb, Franz (d. 1535)|Franz Kolb]]<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"><em></del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"></em></del>[[Hofmeister, Sebastian (1476-1533)|Sebastian Hofmeister]]<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"><em></del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"></em></del>and Jakob Otherus, engaged in a debate with him, in the course of which he was led to recant. The colloquy has been printed under the title, <em>Ein christenlich gespräch gehallten zu Bernn zwüschen den Predicanten und Hansen Physter Meyer von Arouw den Widertauff, Eyd, Oberkeyt und andere Widertoufferische Artikel betreffende </em>(1531) (at GCL). By "the Holy Scripture" it was to be proved that Pfistermeyer was in error with regard to "the faith and the Christian life," and an effort was made "with all friendliness" to lead him from "his ungodly plan" in order that at least "his soul might be won." To attain this goal the preachers dealt with him "with all industry, with gentleness and with patience, out of love." Pfistermeyer was first called upon to account for his statement that the clergy were not preaching God's words but Bern's word.

Little is known of him. On 26 January 1526, the council of Aarau discussed his case. He apparently appeared as a preacher soon after his [[Baptism|baptism]], whereupon he was apparently banished from the canton. In that year he also preached in [[Basel (Switzerland)|Basel]]. A messenger of the council conveyed to him the order to leave the city. He then went in person to the Protestant mayor, Adelperg Meyer, and received from him a friendly repetition and explanation of the law. But soon Pfistermeyer was in the city again. It was made clear to him that he and his like-minded friends might stay in the city if they would promise not to hold any meetings. To this condition they did not consent and were again expelled. Now they went to the neighboring Therwyl and preached there. They were brought before the council, which demanded from them an [[Oath|oath]] that they would forever avoid the city and an area with a radius of ten miles around it. They refused to render the oath and were ordered to leave the city, and never to return. Nevertheless Pfistermeyer was in Basel again a year later. "He had heard that good Christian people lived here, and so God led him back and then he worked here." Again he was expelled with a very sharp threat, and apparently did not return. In the following year he was one of the eight Anabaptists who wished to participate in the great disputation held at [[Bern (Switzerland)|Bern]] in 1528, but who were arrested and who were cross-examined after the conclusion of the colloquy, and then expelled from the city and canton. Whither they went is not known. In 1530 he appeared as an Anabaptist preacher. Bern heard that he frequently preached to crowds of several hundred, though only seven were baptized. Bern then demanded that he be extradited. In March 1531 Pfistermeyer was seized at Mellingen and taken to Bern. On 19 April 1531, the preachers of Bern, [[Haller, Berchthold (1492-1536)|Berchtold Haller]], Caspar Megander (see [[Grossmann, Kaspar (1495-1545)|Grossmann]]), [[Kolb, Franz (d. 1535)|Franz Kolb]], [[Hofmeister, Sebastian (1476-1533)|Sebastian Hofmeister]], and Jakob Otherus, engaged in a debate with him, in the course of which he was led to recant. The colloquy has been printed under the title, <em>Ein christenlich gespräch gehallten zu Bernn zwüschen den Predicanten und Hansen Physter Meyer von Arouw den Widertauff, Eyd, Oberkeyt und andere Widertoufferische Artikel betreffende </em>(1531) (at GCL). By "the Holy Scripture" it was to be proved that Pfistermeyer was in error with regard to "the faith and the Christian life," and an effort was made "with all friendliness" to lead him from "his ungodly plan" in order that at least "his soul might be won." To attain this goal the preachers dealt with him "with all industry, with gentleness and with patience, out of love." Pfistermeyer was first called upon to account for his statement that the clergy were not preaching God's words but Bern's word. One of the questions dealt with was the Anabaptist view that the [[New Testament|New Testament]] is more important than the [[Old Testament|Old Testament]], a view which Pfistermeyer skillfully defended since Christ "had brought a higher and more perfect teaching."
