(which was the time of their first rise,) until these dayes. VVherein is set forth their severall errors dangerous, and very destructive to the peace both of church and state: the way and manner of their spreading them: the many great commotions: (yea,to the effusion of much blood,) which they occasioned in those parts, by their opposition to, and resistance of the civill magistrates; and what course there was taken for the suppressing them. / By Frederick Spanhemius, Doctor, and Professor of Divinity, in the Vniversity of Leyden in Holland. Published according to order.	Spanheim, Friedrich, 1600-1649.	1646 (1646)	Wing S4798; Thomason E362_28; ESTC R201224	43,736	52

Servetians 9. Georgians 10. Swhenck-feldians Servetians Georgians and Swhenck-feldians because they oppose childrens baptlsno and hold baptizang again Inspirations and many other erroneous opinions common with the Anabaptists The Servetians are so called from Michael Servetus a Spaniard who for his execrable and unheard of blasphemies most obstinately belcht out against the sacred Trinity and the Sonne of God and other hainous crimes was not only by the procurement of Calvin that most learned and pious Divine which of meer malice is reported by some but upon mature consultation and communicating the matter with the Common-wealths and Churches of Helvetia burnt at Geneva Servetus burnt at Geneva pouring out his ungodly soule amidst most horrible blasphemies in the very fire and was aswell by the judgment of Papists as Protestants held most worthy to perish in the revenging flames The Georgians were so named from David George of Delph in these Netherland a most notorious Impostor and patron aswell of most horrible blasphemies as abominable and unnaturall lusts who came to that height of presumption and impiety that besides divers other opinions wherein he conspired with the Anabaptists He gave himselfe out for the Christ of God The opinion of David George preferd himself before the eternall Son of the Eternall God applyed unto himself the prophecies spoken by the holy men of God concerning Christ and was so audacious as to exalt his wicked and franticke opinions above Gods holy Word a most odious fellow yea a monster and shame of mankinde Which blasphemies together with other dotages of his he hath gathered into his Booke of wonderfull things where he likewise teacheth that the doctrine delivered in the Scripture is unperfect yea childish and carnall and delivered as it were in the infancy of the World And although one would thinke that these blasphemies could not be perswaded to any in the World yet t is not to be said how great a multitude of men this most vile wretch drew to his party chiefly by two meanes How he brought his followers to imbrace his opinions 1. An outward shew of an holy life and seeming continuall and ardent powring out prayers unto God 2. By a wary and crafty way of scattering and instilling his opinions into others making himself way by little and little from one degree to another and by strange meanes creeping into the minds of credulous men and procuring credit and authority to himself Nor would he reveale those his horrible mysteries except to those onely whom he had made wholly his own and that secretly also By which wiles and with a certain comly and majestical frame of countenance he inveigled the minds of innumerable and by the powerfull working of deceit seduced abundance of people for many years and withall cozened his disciples of their mony He cheated them of their moneys until at last fearing the deserved punishment of his blasphemies seeing he was sharply reproved by Menno Simonz and Melchior Hofman and other of the Anabaptists forsaking his ancient name and taking upon him the new name of John a Bruck he thought it safest for him to depart to some other place where he was neither known by name nor face He chooseth the noble ●ity of Basill whither to transfer the seate of his affaires He changed his name and fled to Basill and seeing persecution was very hot against the reformed Churches in these Provinces of the Netherlands professeth himselfe of the number of those exiles which were forced to leave their Country for the cause of Christ and so with his Family and some of his Sectaries was received of the pious Magistrate who tooke pitty upon such as were for Christs sake faine to go into banishment There the crafty fellow a long while hid his venome and plighting his faith to the Magistrate frequenting the Church assemblies and by divers good offices winning the mindes of a great many and by his homely habit liberall table honest attendance and prudent and civill conversation gaining the favour both of high and low he lived both safely and gallantly having gotten himselfe besides a spacious dwelling in the City an house of pleasure likewise in the Country till in the yeare of our Lord 1556. about the month of September rather by the gnawing worme of Conscience and feare of imminent punishment Where he pined away and dyed then with any great sicknesse he pined away when he perceived that by certaine strangers of the Low-Countryes continually flowing to Bazill his vizard began to be pluckt off and the mindes of his Sectaries began likewise to waver But which is wonderfull notwithstanding it was three years after the death of the Impostor who was honourably buried in Lawrence Church ere the vaile was withdrawne and the story discovered Then were the blasphemies of the ungodly man brought before the Senate his Sectaries called into the Court question had with them concerning the name Country life and doctrine of the deceased The houses and cabinets of David and all his followers searched their letters and books gathered together and every thing delivered into the hands of Divines and Lawyers to discusse the same The blasphemies and cozenages of this deceiver being detected by a solemne ordinance of the Magistrate all his bookes and papers are burnt by the hand of the common hangman the picture of the naughty man His books and papers burnt by the common hangman and his Corps consumed to ashes after it had been carryed about the Streets in the malefactors Cart was cast into the fire his infamous corps brought in his Coffing into the publique place of execution and there consumed to ashes Those of the Sectaries which had aforetime been familiar with the Impostor that protested they had and did abhorre the blasphemies of their Master had their lives granted them of the Senate by whose piety and wisedome the contagion of this heresy was hindered from spreading any further all wayes of sowing it abroad being stopt up His disciples forsweare his opinions and they forswearing publiquely in the Church the communion and doctrine of this false Teacher are admitted to partake of the holy things The rest which pertaines to this history is performed by Ioannes Wygandus Bishop of Pomezania and the authour of the History of David George lately here published by the reverend man Iacobus Revius The Swenckfeldians were so named of Caspar a Swenckfeld of Ossiga a Knight of
