fin that place, and his return to his own country. Thefe 
fiolemn pledges determined him to obey the l'urnmons; 
and after fixing placards -upon the gates of the churches 
an Prague, in which he declared that he was goingJto the 
council, to anfwer to any nccufations that might be 
brought againfif him, and invited all who had any thing 
to except again ft his life and converfiation to be there 
prefent, he proceeded towards Conltance. He made the 
fame declarations -in all the towns through which he 
palled, and arrived at the place of his deftination in No¬ 
vember 1414. Here his accufers drew Up a formal me¬ 
morial of his pretended errors,- which was -prelented to 
the pope and council; and on the twenty-fixth day after 
his arrival he was fummcned to appear, when he declared 
himfelf ready to be examined, and to fubmit to their cor- 
reflion, -if he fhould be convinced that lie had taught 
erroneous doiflrine. The cardinals foon afterwards with¬ 
drew, to deliberate on the molt proper mode of proceed¬ 
ing again ft him 5 and the refult of their deliberations was, 
that he fhould be committed to prifon. This was ac¬ 
cordingly done, in fcandalous violation of the public faith, 
and of every obligation dear to men of honour; and for 
fix months he was liaraffed from prifon to prifon, in 
which he was cruelly and inhumanly treated ; and he 
was condemned as guilty of herefy by the council, in his 
abfence and without a hearing, for maintaining that the 
eucharift ought to be adininiltered to the people in both 
kinds. On this occafion the emperor affe&ed to be'dif- 
fatisfied with the proceedings againft Hufs, and infilled 
that his honour would not permit that he Ihould be con¬ 
demned unheard. It was therefore decreed that Hufs 
fhould be permitted to enter into a defence of himfelf be¬ 
fore the. council. During the two days in which Hufs 
appeared before the council, what he had to offer in his 
defence was inceffantly interrupted by noile and tumult, 
and he was at length given to underhand, that they were 
not difpofed to liften to any thing which he might deli¬ 
ver, unlefs it were a recantation of his errors. This Hufs 
manfully refuled, as he could not make a facrifice to 
them of his confcience; and he was ordered back to pri- 
f'orv. , About a month afterwards he was again brought 
before the council, where he was condemned as a heretic, 
and adjudged to be burnt. On the fame day he was firlt 
ilripped of his liicerdotal garments by bifhops who were 
appointed for that purpafe, who afterwards degraded him, 
and having placed upon his head a paper crown, on 
>vhich were the words, “ A ring-leader of herefy,” deli¬ 
vered him to the fecular power. Immediately he was 
hurried to the ftake, and, after his books had been burnt 
at the door of the church, he was himfelf burnt alive ; 
which dreadful punilhment he endured with unparalleled 
magnanimity and relignation, exprefling in his lull mo¬ 
ments the noblelt feelings of love to God, and the moil 
triumphant hope of the accomplilhment of thole tranf- 
porting promil'es with which- the Gofpel arms the true 
Chriftian at the’ approach of eternity ! The works of 
Hufs were numerous and learned. They were collected 
together, and printed, with fome hiftorical documents, 
letters, pontificial bulls, &.c. at Nuremberg, 1558, in 2 
vols; folio.
