[Johannes Uytenbogaert. Remonstrants] Collection of 23 pamphlets,

published in various places, 1610-1639, mostly without bindings/disbound, all small 4to size.

Important collection of (rare) pamphlets by/ on/ against Johannes Uytenbogaert (1557-1644), Dutch pastor and court pastor of Prince Maurice of Orange and a key figure of the Remonstrant movement from 1610 onwards. Prince Maurice chose the side of the Counter-remonstrants, and Uytenbogaert fled the country, only to return after the death of Maurice in 1625. Several titles: (1) Predicatie door Johannem Wtenbogart bearbeydet, in welcke hy de voor-naemste gronden syns laetsten boecx, handelende vande macht der politiker overheydt in kerckelijcke zaken, met syn verklaringe betoont, gheensins syn ghevoelen te bevestigen.
