In this mean time, the greatest adversary that Joh. Huss had, Stephen Palletz a Bohemian, was come to the council: but his companion, Stanislaus znoma was not yet passed the borders of Bohemia, when he was stricken with an Impostume, whereof he died. As soon as Palletz was come to Con stance, he did associate unto him, one Michael de Causis, who was sometime Curate of Prague, and (having cozened the King Vinceslaus of a great sum of money, to renew the mines of gold in Gilorroy, fled from thence to Rome) he and Palletz sometime of Huss's acquaintance. These 2. promised the adversaries of Huss to deal against him: which they did, & drew articles against him, especially out of his book de Ecclesia, & offred them unto the cardinals, monks, &c. and did so incense them, that they determined to cause John Huss to be laid hands on.
