29 The Hussites had before been summoned to refer their cause to this Council,
but with the demand that they should agree beforehand to submit to its decrees,
see the account of Sigismund's negotiations with the Hussites in Presburg, 1429,
in J. G. Schelhorn's Beiträgen zur Erläuterung der Geschichte, bes. der
Schwab. Gelehrten- u. Kirchen-Geschichte, Stück 3 (Memmingen, 1774. 8vo.) S. 77.
They now attempted to prove the justice of their cause in public letters addressed
to the princes and people, see one of A. D. 1430, in Broionii Appendix ad fascic.
rerum expetendarum et fugiendarum, p. 632, another dated July, 1431, in Mansi
XXIX. p. 641, and German in T h e o b a 1 d ' s Hussitenkrieg, Cap. 73. S. 272 seq.,
in which last they complain particularly of their being summoned to submit to the
Council. But the summons of the Council to the Bohemians, dd. 15 Oct. 1431
(Raynald, h. a. no. 24, complete in Mansi XXIX. p. 233 seq.) promises : Hie
quidquid pertinet ad fidei veritatem, — omni cum diligentia et libertate tractabitur.
Licebit libere omnibus exponere, etc. A second letter of March, 1432 (Mansi
XXIX. p. 415, and XXX. p. 99), assures the Bohemians of a safe conduct, adding,
what was huml)ling enough for the Council : promptis et non fictis dabimus animis.
The Salvusconductus accompanied the letter (Mansi XXIX. p. 417), and ambas-
sadors were sent to Eger, to negotiate with the Bohemians (Theobald, Th. 1. cap. 79),
who, at the instance of these last, gave another Salvusconductus (Mansi XXIX.
p. 27), in which not only the Bohemians were assured of safety, but also: in loco
vel in locis hospitiorum .suorum divina otficia sine impedimento nostrorum peragere
permittimus. Further: in generali Concilio — articulos quatuor (see note 19) —
oretenus aut in scriptis libere poterunt offerre, aut propalare, Scripturis sacris.

some delay, in Jan. 1433, but the time was only consumed in ineffec-
tual disputations.-''* After their return, however, an embassy was
sent by the Council, and a compact concluded with the Calixtines in
Prague, on the 30tii Nov. 1433, by which the four articles were
conceded to them, though with very important limitations.-'^ The

138. It first establishes peace and concord, and annuls all the ecclesiastical
censures, providing, quod nemo deinceps dictum Regnum et Marchionatum
propter pra;terita infamare prajsumat. It then treats of the four articles (see note
19). The first article of the Bohemians runs : Quod communio divinissimcB
EucharislicB ulilis el salubris sub ulraqiie specie, seil, panis et vini, universis
Christifidclibus in Regno BohemicB, et Marchionatu Moravice, et locis eis in
hac parte adhcerentiuni constitutis per sacerdofes libere ministretur. This
article was approved by the legates with the further provisions : Arlicuhis ille iu
sacro Concilio discutietur, quoad materiam de pracepto ad plenum, et videbitur,
quid circa ilium articulum pro veritate catholica sit tenendum, et agendum pro
utilitate et salute populi Christian!. At any rate the priests in Bohemia and
Moravia shall be allowed to admit to the Communion sub utraque specie eas per-
sonas, qua; in annis discretionis constitutse reverenter et devote postulaverint. —
Hoc semper observato, quod sacerdotes sic communicantibus semper dicant, quod
ipsi debeant firmiter credere, quod — sub qualibet specie est integer et totus
Christus. Ac Legati sacri Concilii — mandabunt universis et singulis, — ut dictis
Bohemis et Moravis, utentibus dicta communione sub duplici specie, nemo audeat
improperare, aut eorum fama; aut honori detrahere. Et hoc idem faciet sacrum
Concilium. The second article of the Bohemians was : Omnia peccata mortalia,
et prcBsertim publica, per eos quorum interest rationabiliter et secundum legem
Dei cohiberantur, corrigantur et eliminenlur. This expression per eos quorum
interest the legates thought too general, and therefore drew up the article thus :
Omnia peccata mortalia, prfesertim publica, quantum rationabiliter fieri potest,
secundum legem Dei et sanctorum Patrum instituta, sunt cohibenda, corripienda
et eliminanda. Potestas autem puniendi criminosos non ad privatas personas, sed
ad eos tantummodo pertinet, qui jurisdictionem habent in eos fori, distinctione juris
et justitiae ordine observatis. In the third article of the Bohemians : Quod verbum
Dei a sacerdotibus Domini et Levitis idoneis libere ac fideliter prcpdicetur, the
libere was objectionable, and the following change was made : Quod verbum Dei
a sacerdotibus Domini et Levitis ad hoc idoneis, et per superiores (ad quos pertinet)
approbatis et missis, libere, non tamen passim, sed ordinate et fideliter prardicetur,
salva auctoritate Pontificis, qui est pra;ordinator in cunctis, juxta sanctorum Patrum
instituta. The fourth article : J\'on licet Clero tempore legis gratia super bonis
temporalibus scBculariter dominari, was admitted with the following limitations,
1. quod Clerici non religiosi licite possunt habere et possidere quaecunque bona
temporalia, and 2. quod Ecclesia potest licite habere et possidere bona temporalia,
— et in eis habere privatum et civile dominium, with the condition, quod eccle-
siastici viri bona Ecclesise debent fideUter administrare, ipsaque bona Ecclesia; ab
aliis non debent detineri vel occupari. In case of any abuses which may creep in
relafing to the three last articles, the Congregatio generalis, as well as individuals,
shall have the power of applying to the Council. This compact was confirmed by

Taborites, wlio were highly dissatisfied with this arrangement, were
wholly defeated by the Calixtines near Boehniisciibrod, on the 30th
May, 1434, ■*"- and so weakened that they were compelled to submit.
The triumphant Calixtines acknowledged Sigismund as king, the
compact having first been solemnly confirmed at Iglau, A. D. 1436,33

Dom. 1433. d. 7 Dec. observare maiuiiim slipulatione proniiserunt in Mansi XXX.
p. 692, which for the most part repeats those conditions word for word, and, only in
the article on the Lord's Supper, contains a long defence of the Communion sub
una specie.

33 The Bohemians were well aware that the compact needed still further
security; they demanded therefore of the emperor, in an assembly at Brilnn, 1455
(see Responsio Concilii Bas. facta Ambasiatoribus Imp. in Mansi XXiX. p. 413),
quod sua Serenitas personaliter cum eis in perceptione communionis sub utraque
specie conveniiet, ac Cappellanos haberet, qui sic populo ministrarent ; et quod
nullus esset in consilio ejusdem et negotiis dicti regni. qui sic non communicartit ;
et quod religiosi monachi et moniales sine consensu Archiepiscopi et Domini
communis loci non admittantur ; et quod ipsi habeant sibi eligere Archiepiscopum ;
demands, with which the Council were of course by no means pleased. Still
Sigismund promised, in a patent dd. Albae Regali, 6 Jan. 1436 (in Leibnitii
Mantissa, II. p. 141) : 1. Beneficia non conferantur per extraneos in Regno
Bohemias ac Marchionatu. 2. Personae etiam saeculares et spirituales extra Reg-
num vel Marchionatum nee citabuntur, nee judicabuntur. 3. Communicantes
sub una specie in s»pe tactis Regno et Marchionatu, ne confusa sequatur per-
mixtio, contra proprias illorum voluntates et libertates non sustinebunt, sed duntaxat
in locis, in quibus communio duplicis speciei temporibus retroactis non servabatur,
sustinebuntur. 4. Et ut materia occasioque litium auferatur, loca omnia ct singula
Ecclesiarum — signabuntur, in quibus — communio duplicis speciei in praxi serva-
batur, ut in futurum perpetuo in eisdem servaretur. 5. Sed et hoc volumus ut
per Dominos Bohemos, — Piagam et civitates alias una cum Clero, Archiepiscopus
Pragcnsis una cum aliis Episcopis titularibus eligantur, qui alias dicuntur SufTraga-
nei. Qui quidem electi per nostram dispositionem debitam — confiimabuntur, ct in
Episcopos consecrabuntur absque quavis pro confirmatione, Pallii exhibitione, aut
etiam Notariis persolutione. 6. Scholares Dioecesis Pragensis utrique, tarn sub
una quam sub utraque communicantes specie, habilitate et idoneitate ipsorum
praesupposita, ad sacros ordines promoveantur et ordinentur. He promises to hold
to this in verbo Ceesareo, and at the same time to exert himself to the utmost with
the Pope and the Council, ut pra;fati articuli suum effectum realiter sortiantur.
Mneas Sylvius hist. Bohem. c. 52, mentions several other treaties with the
emperor : Caeterum inter Bohemos et Imperatorem alia? pactiones (besides the
Compact at Prague) intervenere, quibus Ecclesiarum praedia occupatoribus jure
pignorum relicta sunt, donee certa pecunia reluerentur. Religiosis utriusque
sexus, quibus adempta Monasteria esscnt, exulibus quoque spes reditus interdicta ;
Rokyzanffi Pragensis Ecclesia? pra?sulatus promissus, de disponendo Ecclesiarum
Bohemicanim regimine summo Pontitici facultas ablata. The ordinance concerning
the estates of the church, here referred to, is mentioned also by an anonymous
contemporary writer in Cochlmns, lib. VIII. p. 300, from whose account it seems
too that the emperor had issued several ordinances relating to these grants. The
Council and its legates do not refer to the subject. At the instance of the Bohe-
mians the legates accompanied the compacts with various illustrations to prevent
any obscurity, see Leibnitii Mantissa, II. p. 146, 148, and finally, dd. Iglaviae,
5 July, 1436, an Executoria super Compactatis (CochlcEUS, p. 289. Leibnit. II.
p. 150). On the same day the 13ohemian ambassadors accepted the compact, and
solemnly swore obedience to the Council, which is triumphantly communicated by
the legate in Mansi XXIX. p. 612. In August Sigismund entered Prague. With
regard to giving the cup to the laity the Council of Basil passed a decree, Sess.

HISTORY OF THE HUSSITES TO THE END OF THIS PERIOD.
As this compact was looked upon by each party only as preparing
the way for the further progress of its peculiar doctrines and usages,
it was not to be expected that it should prove the basis of lasting
peace. Whilst the Calixtines, on the one hand, were vainly attempting
to obtain new concessions from the Council/ Sigismund did not even
adhere to what he had already granted, but, as far as was possible,
restored the old customs in the church, and compelled the leader of
the Calixtines, John Rokyczana, whom he had himself confirmed as
Archbishop of Prague,'^ to seek his safety in flight.^ Thus at Sigis-
XXX. d. X. Cal. Jan. 1437 (Mansi XXIX. p. 158) to the effect, quod fideles
Laici sive Clerici communicantes, et non conficientes, non adstrinountur ex prae-
cepto Domini ad suscipienduni sub utraque specie — sacrum EucharistiEe Sacra-
mentum. Sed Ecclesia — ordinäre habet, quomodo ipsis non conti cientib us
ministretur, prout pro reverentia ipsius Sacramenti et salute fidelium viderit
expedire. — LaudabiHs quoque consuetudo communicandi laicum cum populum
sub una specie — pro lege habenda est, nee licitum est earn reprobare, aut sine
auctoritate Ecclesiaj ipsam immutare.
^ CochlcBi hist. Hussitarum, lib. VIII. p. 310. The Bohemian ambassadors
demanded, I. quatenus pro tollendis litibus, jurgiis et dissensionibus in populo
nostro ex diversitate communionis indubitanter — sequenlibus — digneniini —
Regno — nostro — dare — uniformem — sub utraque specie sacrse Eucharistiae
communionem. In justification of this they appealed to the passage at the close
of the compact : et omnia alia fient, quEe pro observatione diets pacis et unitatis
necessaria fuerint et opportuna. II. quatenus — providere dignaretur sacrum
Concilium Bohemis de bono et legitimo pastore Archiepiscopo et aliis Episcopis.
The Synod acknowledged the reasonableness of this demand, but decidedly rejected
the Archbishop proposed, Rokyczana : de quo non est rationabile, ut ad illam
dignitatem promoveatur, cum ad impediendura, perturbandum et disrumpendum
pacem et unitatem post firmata Compactata fuerit multipliciter machinatus, etc.
So too. III. the request for liberty communicandi parvulos sacra Eucharistia was
refused, and IV. the request of the Bohemians, permitti suis, ad minus Evangelia,
Epistolas et Symbolum in vulgari lingua in Missis et Ecclesiis coram populo ad
excitandam devotionem libertari, legi et decantari, on the ground that it was
against the compact and the promise of the Bohemians, se conformare ritibus
Ecclesias. The V. request, however, for a reformatio et suae Universitatis Pra-
gensis et totius Ecclesiae in capite et in membris was more favorably received.

mund's death (Dec. 1437), the parties were again in a state of vio-
lent excitement. The emperor Albrecht, chosen by the Catholics, was
refused by the Calixtines; but after his death (Oct. 1439) a compro-
mise was made, by which the kingdom was to be governed during the
minority of his son Ladishiiis, by two governors, one Catholic and the
other Calixtine (1441). In 1444 George Podiebrad became the
Calixtine governor, and in 1450 sole regent, and the Calixtines had
decidedly the advantage. Nevertheless all their elforts were ineffectual
to procure the extension of the compact, which was not even allowed
on the other side in its present extent.'* The Calixtines were already

* New articles were added at Prague, June 11,1441 (Cochlmus, lib. IX. p. 335):
I. lit Compactata cum Ecelesia sancta ab omnibus efficaciter teneantur; III. ut
nullus audeat pra-dicare, quod tantum sumitur sub una specie, quantum sub
utraque, cum hoc sit contra communicantes sub utraque specie ; IV. ut nullus
audeat porrigere sub una specie publice vel occulte. After this a great assembly
was held in Kuttenburg, Oct. 4, 1441. They here promised obedience to Rokyc-
zana as Archbishop, and drew up a confession of faith in 22 articles, see Theobald,
Th. 2. Cap. 11. S. 86. In this 7 sacraments are allowed, and the doctrine of
transubstantiation admitted. On the other hand. Art. XVI., the communion shall
not be taken in one form only, and it shall not be considered contrary to a Christian
faith to administer it to children, provided that it is at the desire of their parents.
Art. XXI : as priests are men, they are not forbidden in the word of God to marry,
though it would be better, according to St. Paul's advice, to live unmarried. — In
A. D. 1444, the Cardinal-legate, Carjaval, was in Prague, with whom Rokyczana
had a violent dispute concerning the Supper (Theobald, Th. 2. Cap. 15. S. 142).
In the mean time the Bohemians used every exertion to procure fiom Eugenius
IV. and Nicholas V. the confirmation of Rokyczana as Archbishop, and in 1447,
having sent an embassy for the purpose to Rome (Theobald, Cap. 16. S. 150),
Carjaval appeared once more in Prague (Theobald, Cap. 17. S. 157). The Bohe-
mians, in a letter, in which they recounted all that had passed up to the present
time, prayed him {Cochlaus, lib. X. p. 349 seq.), ut qua; pro honore et utilitate
hujus rcgni inclyti et nostris juxta Compactatorum tenorem facienda sunt, finem
debitum cffectualiter sortiantur; Magistrum quoque Joannem dc Rokyczana —
dignetur Paternitas vestra Rev. in Archiepiscopum Piagensem ad nostrum et
totius regni singulare solatium consecrare. Carjaval evaded the request, and
demanded resütution of the church property (1. c. -535). In A. D. 1451, .^neas

meditating a union v;ith the Greek church,-^ when the fall of Con-
stantinople put an end to their negotiations. After the short reign of
the young king Ladislaus, who proved a zealous Catholic (1453-
1457),'" George Podiebrad was advanced to the throne. To con-
ciliate his opponents, George caused himself to be crowned by Catho-
lic bishops, and swore obedience to the church and the Pope." In so
doing, however, he counted on the strict observance of the com-
pact, which in the excited state of the parties was not possible. The
Sylvius was in Bohemia as the emperor's ambassador, and had a conference with
George Podiebrad, which he recounts in llie Epist. ad Jo. de Carjaval Card.
{.Mnece Sylv. epist. 130). George complained that the compact had not been
regarded on the side of the Catholics : si qui ex nostris apud vos moriuntur, cum
asinis sepulturam accipiunt. ^neas replied : Cur violari foedus conquerimini,
quod priores rupistis .'' Nequc enim suilicit vobis sub duplice specie communicarc,
nisi et sub una sola communicantes damnetis. — Vobis indulta est sub utraque
specie communicatio, jussi tamen sacerdotes vestri sunt, — commonere — omnes, —
sub qualibet totum — esse Christum : nihil faciunt. Prohibiti sunt infantibus
atque dementibus eucharistiain porrigere : porrigunt tamen. Neminem commu-
nicare sub duplici specie debent [compellcre] : compellunt, sepulturam negantes,
ni communicent. — Debent universalis Ecclesise ritum tenere : postponunt, divinis
officiis vulgaris carminis commiscentes. — Cum ergo abutamini privilegio, — prae-
varicantes mandata Concilii, hand jure Legatum (Cardinal Caijaval) accusatis,
compactata firmare nolentem : quia Privilegium amisistis male utentes. iEneas
pointed out three subjects of controversy : Mihi tribus ex rebus concordia pendere
videtur', ex Compactatis, ex bonis ecclesiasticis qua; occupantur, ex Archiepiscopi
constitutione, qua; nee parva sunt, nee leviter componenda. Nam compactata,
postquam violata sunt, rursus innovare magnum est : qui bona Ecclesiarum occu-
pant, invite restituent : in Archiepiscopo vos ipsi vim facitis. qui Kochezanam
petitis neque alium vultis, quem, nisi me fallat opinio, nunquam sedes Apostolica
ad id fastigii promovebit. Soon aftervvaids, A. D. 1451, the celebrated Franciscan,
Jo. de Capistrano, was appointed by Nicholas V. to preach against the Bohemians,
with full powers {Cochlceus, 1. X. p. 368), to absolve on their repentance omnes
persona«, qua» sub utraque specie communicarunt, ac alias erroribus, ha;resi et
superstitione involuti a ritu et unitate s. Rom. Ecclesiae recesserunt.
