Cazanovius John

Cazanovius John

Cazanovius John,  (Polon. Caszanowski,) was a Polish Knight, who, at the memorable Conference held at Petricow, A.D. 1562, went over to the Antitrinitarian party. Sandius says, that his opinions were almost identical with those of Peter Gonesius, and that he was a Preacher of those opinions ; but that he afterwards became Sub-judge of Lucow. His works were as follow.

1. A Reply to Calvin's Letters to the Polish Brethren. Written about the year 1563.

2. A Book against the Trinitarians. In reference to this, Andrew Fricius Modrevius says, "these and many other testimonies, the advocates of a unity of essence in the Father and the Son, collect from the Scriptures: but Bernardine Ochinus the Italian, and our countryman John Cazanovius, have separately, and, in my opinion, accurately confuted these testimonies in their books."

3. Remarks in Elucidation of the Conference held at Petricow in 1565. At this Conference there were present, on the part of the Unitarians, Gregory Pauli of Brzeziny, Minister of Cracow ; George Schomann, Minister of Xionx ; Stanislaus Paclesius, Minister of Lublin ; John Niemojevius, Judge of Inovladislavia ; John Lutomirscius, Castellan of Sieradz ; Stanislaus Lutomirscius, Superintendent of Little Poland ; Nicholas Sienicius, Marshal of the Equestrian Order ; and Jerome Philipovius, Receiver-general of the district of Cracow. The Scribes, or Secretaries, were Albert Romaeus, and John Cazanovius.
