Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Breuckelen: Now Known as the First Reformed Church of Brooklyn, 1654 to 1896 At an early period of the Reformation, the Protestants on the Continent were divided into two bodies, the Lutheran and the Reformed. The Latter became dominant in the Netherlands, where they maintained their religious liberties only after a long, costly and bloody struggle against the gigantic power of Philip 11., during which they suffered all that men could suffer. So calamitous was their condition before the eighty years´ war, that they gave themselves the name of the Church under the Cross, and their symbol was "A Lily amidst Thorns." In 1566, while war was raging, the deputies of the churches met in Antwerp and adopted the Belgic Confession, which continues to this day to be one of the doctrinal standards of the Reformed in Holland. About the same time the Heidelberg Catechism. which had been issued (1563) in German by the Palatine Elector, Frederick III., was translated into Dutch and widely circulated in the Netherlands. Doctrinal differences having arisen among the Reformed, a Synod was convened by the States General at Dort (1618. 1619.) to which all the Reformed Churches of Europe (save Anhalt) were invited to send delegates, and all did so; only the four selected by the French were forbidden by the King to attend. The British deputies were George Carlton, Bishop of Llandaff: John Davenant, Professor of Theology at Cambridge; Samuel Ward, of Sidney College, Cambridge, and Joseph Hall, afterward Bishop of Norwich. Walter Balcanqual, a Scotch presbyter, was also deputed by King James to represent the Scottish Church. This body expressed its conclusions in Canons under five heads of doctrine. and these Canons were accepted by the National Synod. After the foreign delegates had withdrawn, the same National Synod revised the Belgic Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism and the Rules of Church Government, and also set forth liturgical forms for use in public worship. The Church of Holland, thus fully organized, soon became distinguished for learning, soundness in the faith and practical godliness.
