It is not oertain, at ««• Hungarian writers think, that he stadied at Ofim t± the celebrated Grynsua, the first piomoCer of the V^ ormation in Hungary. In 1528 his name is mes^.s* among the students of the University of Cracow. ^■ ter his return from this university, at wliich be cta!- ied for two years, he became a priest and a moek. ^ this position he still was in 1527, bat soon alls ^ adopted the principles of ^e Reformatioa, aod ia Yz went to Wittenberg, to study the new the^<^ While in Wittenberg he lived in the iKiase <d Lotk In 1631 he was minister of a Protestant congn^: in Ofen, and distinguished for his refonnatorr ted About this time he wrote a small work against tiie > vocation of the saints (De sanctorum dormmtiete), aii fifty -two propositions explaining the fbodua^si' principles of the Reformation. Still, in the eoam ^ the year 1681, he was called aa preacher to Kascb: by the council of that town. On Nov. 6, 1581^ he rt arrested by order of Thomas Szalahizy, bbbgp dh- lau and councillor of king Ferdinand, and kept a y» oner first at Likava, snheeqnently at Pressbvrn;. ^™ whence he was taken to Vienna.
