De Prez Justus

De Prez Justus , called Jodocus by F. Socin, (Fratr. Pol. T. I. p. 426,) is mentioned by Bock, in his "History of Prussian Socinianism," (§ vii. p. 17,) as living at Dantzic in the year 1584. That city also continued to be his place of residence in 1590. Little, however, is recorded of him. It appears, from a letter addressed by F. Socinus to Matthew Radecius, Jan. 8th, 1586, that the former was then contemplating a journey into Holland, and expecting to have Justus de Prez as his travelling companion as far as Dantzic ; and in another letter of F. Socin to John Balcerovicius, dated Cracow, Oct. 23rd, 1590,. he requests Balcerovicius to forward to John Volkelius a copy of his treatise "De Jesu Christo Servatore," of which Justus de Prez had taken charge, intending to pass through Lublin, on his way to Dantzic.
