Pigelius John

Pigelius John was present at the Conferences, held at the house of Smalcius, at Racow, between the years 1606 and 1609. In 1613, he was sent as a colleague to Christopher Lubieniecius, at the Church of Kostrow, and was then intending to devote himself to the instruction of youth: but in the year 1616, at the Synod of Racow, he declined sustaining the office either of a Minister, or a Schoolmaster, and looked out for some other employment. He seems to have been the same John Pigelius, who subscribed the decrees of the General Synod held at Thorn, in 1595, by which the "Consent of Sandomir" was confirmed. He was then called Pastor of the Church of Pirano ; and belonged to the Evangelical party. But he afterwards joined the Socinians. Whether it was another Pigelius, and the son of this one, who, in 1641, was removed to the School at Schleschink, by a decree of the Synod of Piaski, there seem to be no means of determining. Nor does it appear, that any other mention is made of this School elsewhere, in the Synodical Acts. It is stated in these Acts, that Pigelius submitted some Hymns of his own composition to the inspection of the Synod, held at Racow in 1616.
