Mattheus John

Mattheus John , or Matthes, according to Bock, was a name altogether unknown to the writers whom he consulted ; and was classed for the first time, by himself, among those of Antitrinitarian patrons and teachers. He was one of those, who, in the Palatinate of the Rhine, made common cause with Sylvanus and Neuser. He had taken refuge in the Austrian territories; but on the 24th of June, 1578, sentence of banishment was pronounced against him, in the name of the Emperor, Rudolph II. Bock thinks it clear, that John Mattheus is a different person from Matthias Vehe, otherwise called Glirius, who was banished from the Palatinate for the same heresy; and the ground of his opinion is, that Mattheus, and not Matthias, is the name used in the Emperor's decree
