deus somewhat premature-Special confessions demanded,

humiliating-Sorry to be one of the Committee to pre-

scribe form of confession for Aron deus-The form pre-

scribed for Van Sinderen-The legal minister and the

legal consistory put on same footing with Arondeus and

his adherents-The attempt of Coetus to reinstate Aron-

deus, ridiculous-Coetus now endorses a man whom they

formerly condemned, and rejected Van Sinderin's com-

plaint against his accusers-Confession-Sermon of Aron-

deus far from satisfactory-Threatens to prosecute Rit-

zema-Van Sinderin confessed more than was required,
