Securinus John

Securinus John  is mentioned by Przipcovius, in his Life of Faust Socin, as the first, who ventured publicly to defend the opinions which Lelio Socin  held. In the Synod of Lancut, A.D. 1567, he boldly advocated these opinions against the Arian party, maintaining that Christ had no existence, prior to his birth into this world. He did the same thing at the Conference, which was held at Skrzynna, during the same year. Lubieniecius, in his "History of the Polish Reformation," describes him as a man of extraordinary simplicity of character, but particularly well acquainted with the sacred writings, an eloquent speaker, and a person of the strictest veracity ; and says, that he was the first among the Polish Unitarians, who was baptized by immersion. It was chiefly owing to his persuasive eloquence, that James Sieninius, Palatine of Podolia, was induced to leave the Calvinistic, and join the Antitrinitarian party.
