John Huss

John Huss (1373-1415) was a Bohemian church reformer. He was a disciple of Wyclif, and did much to propagate his teaching, in consequence of which he was summoned in 1414 to answer for himself before the Council of Constance, went under safe-conduct from the emperor. "They laid him instantly in a stone dungeon, three feet wide, six feet high, seven feet long; burnt the true voice of him out of this world; choked it in smoke and fire".
