There were numerous other sects, and still more different
names of one and the same sect. A sect of the Taborites, for instance,
founded by Nicholas Wlasenicky, were alternately called _Miculassenci_
(i.e. Nicolaites, the Bohemian form for Nicholas being Miculass), or
_Wlasenitzi_, from his name; _Pecynowshi_, from the place of their
meetings; and _Plachtiwi_, i.e. the crying, from their manner. See
Dobrovsky's _Gesch. der boehm. Sprache_, p. 234. It may be the place
here to remark, that the Calixlins or Utraquists, although at first
decidedly against the infallibility of the pope, nevertheless in
forming the compact of Basle, submitted in the main to the doctrine of
Rome, with these four conditions; viz. the free distribution of the
Bible to the people; the administration of the sacrament in both
kinds; reform of the clergy after the pattern of the Apostles; and
punishment for "mortal sins" in proportion to their enormity.]
[Footnote 30: His full name was George Hruby Gelenshky. This patriotic
and active individual translated and published a whole series of
valuable books; among which we mention only Petrarch's Letters,
Cicero's Laelius and Paradoxa, several works of Jovian, etc. Nicholas
Konacz followed in the same path.
