The memory of the Huss movement had not completely died out in Poland, and the similarity of Luther's teachings with Hussitism made them popular. |
The Czech Brethren, who settled down in Great Poland after 1548, had their origins in moderate Hussitism, and their confession tended toward Calvinism. |
Without doubt the chiliast enthusiasm which swept the radical sectors of Hussitism had strong appeal. |
But certainly after years of warlike and spiritual struggling with powers of the counterreformation, Hussitism weakened inside and out. |
However, the Czech flame flickered silently until it came to the surface in the pre-Reformation movement known as Hussitism in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. |
It may be argued that Hussitism failed to spread due to the death of its leading exponent. |
