Jan Hus
Professor of Prague University
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
Professor of Prague University
When Anne of Bohemia married King Richard II of England, she sent copies of Professor Wycliffe's writings back to Prague. Inspired by Wycliffe's teachings, Professor Jan Hus (1372-1415) boldly confronted corruption and superstitions, and taught the Scriptures in Prague University. As a result the papacy ex-communicated Hus and condemned him and his writings to be burned. Hus declared: "I would not, for a chapel full of gold, recede from the Truth... the Truth stands and is mighty forever in the Truth of the Gospel I have written, taught and preached, today I will gladly die." As Hus was being burned, he proclaimed: "My goose is cooked!" (Hus is the Bohemian word for goose). "But 100 years from now a swan will arise, whose voice you will not be able to silence."

yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
