Lubieniecius Christopher, (Polon. Lubienietzki, or Lubieniecki,) a Polish Knight, was the son-in-law of Erasmus Otvinovius, and brother of Andrew and Stanislaus Lubieniecius, whose example he followed, in exchanging the character of a courtier for that of a Unitarian Minister. He preached first at Levartow, near Lublin ; then at Lublin, where, in 1598, he succeeded Martin Czechovicius, who was deposed, for exciting dissensions on the subject of Baptism ; and afterwards at Racow, where he died, in the month of February, 1624. After his settlement at Lublin, Faust  Socin congratulated him, in a letter, dated August 14th, 1598, in which he said, "When I have heard you, which not seldom happens, preaching and exhorting, and inciting your hearers to take heed to their eternal salvation, you have seemed to me to be just such a one as God has chosen, in this kingdom, among his principal instruments, for converting men, not averse from piety, to himself, and his Christ ; and rescuing them from destruction." Socin also admonished him of what it was incumbent upon him to do in that place, where there were many adversaries, possessed of learning, and thoroughly versed in all the arts of sophistry. After an interval of several years, he had Valentine Smalcius as a colleague, on which condition alone he consented to remain at Lublin. His last settlement was at Racow. He left behind him

1. Manuscript Sermons ; and

2. A Discourse, delivered, a short time before his death, to his own children, which was published at Racow, immediately after that event, from the notes of Jonas Schlichtingius.
