Text[]
- The Preaching of Master Jan Hus
- written down by Father Godwin, Parish Priest of Uzhitz
- On Mother Church
- One should not believe in the Church, because the Church is not God. The lamentable wealth in which the Church is drowning has turned to poison, and nearly the whole of Christiandom is contaminated. Just like a flock of hungry ravens, they settled on this land to devour every grain of gold and silver. They know no mercy. Their hearts are corrupted by longing for wealth. They shamelessly traffic with everything. You want to baptise a child? Pay! You want to steal and murder? Pay and you will have absolution!
- What if the Devil himself were to pay? Would he ascend to Heaven too? For such money, gained out of poor people, they beautiful horses rising, and needless servants they keep, they gamble at dice and dress their whores in expensive furs. While Jesus Christ walked barefoot and had no place to lay his head! Look to your consciences, you robbers of the poor, for you are seen by God and people too!
- Intemperance
- The drinker, when he drinks his wine is disgraced before God, rejected by the angels and ridiculed before men, bereft of virtue, destroyed by demons and shall be trampled into the dust. He shall ruin his nature, lose mercy and rush to eternal damnation. Gluttony kills as surely as the sword! And who above all should avoid gluttony? The priests, rulers, elders, women and students. Priests must do so, for they must lead with reason, turn their backs on debauchery and show the right path to others. Therefore the apostle says that a bishop may not be a drinker of wine and priests must be sober; when a bishop is a drinker of wine, he must be deposed, and a priest who drinks must be punished or deprived of his priesthood!
- On Lust
- Since lust encourages men to lewdness, therefore God established matrimony as a remedy. It is written in Corinthians: "To avoid fornication, have your own wife or husband. Those who enter into marriage to have offspring and not to fall into fornication, they are right. If a man enters into marriage, however, with one whose beauty gives him delight, then who but the Devil seduced him into it, and eventually he will die like Sarah's seven husbands, not only bodily, but also in his soul!
- On Wisdom
- I say to you, or as an old saying goes: He who knows much, let him speak much; he who knows little, let him speak little. Let each speak as much as he knows. And he who knows nothing, let him at least teach his neighbour one virtuous deed, by setting him good example and refraining from playing dice and from fornication.
- Creation has given to every man the power by which he might rule the whole world, but that power does not give him the right to rule. That right belongs to God alone.
