Notes and Queries, Number 43, August 24, 1850 by Various

the Dutch congregation. But his sect did not become visible till some
time in the reign of Elizabeth.

In 1575 they presented a confession of their faith to parliament, along
with a number of their books, and prayed toleration.

Nicolai, or Nicolas, their founder, published a number of tracts and
letters in Dutch for the edification of his followers: and now I will
propose a Query, in hopes that some of your correspondents will solve
it. Is there extant any list of their writings as presented to
parliament in 1575, and has their confession been published, and when?
Perhaps the following works, none of which I am able to consult, would
furnish the means of solving my Query, all of which treat of the
subject:--

J. Hombeck's _Summa Controversiarum._ Godfr. Arnold's _Kirchen-
und Kitzer-historie._ Ant. Wilh. Bohm's _Englische
Reformations-historie._ Schroekh's _Kirchengesch. seit der
Reformation._

These sources would, I conceive, be useful to N.B., who inquires into
their tenets and lives.

I find I have omitted to mention one of their assailants, "the last and
most learned," Henry More, the English divine. See his _Mystery of
Godliness_, book vi., chap. 12-18.
