[75] Historie o puvodu Jednoty ("History of the Origin of the Unity"), quoted by Jireček.
[76] Of English works on this subject, I may mention the "Extract of the Letter of the late Bishop Jablonsky to his Excellency C. Zinzendorf: As touching the succession of Episcopal Consecration; the Bohemian Brethren have got their Ordination from the Waldenses about the year 1467, and have kept the same carefully and without interruption." Printed in Acta Fratrum Unitatis in Anglia, 1749, as Appendix VII.
[77] That the choice was made by the drawing of lots, which is here only hinted at, is more fully explained in the later accounts of Brother Jaffet and Komenský; they tell us that the brethren chose nine of their number, and then intrusted a boy who was unaware of their intentions with twelve slips of paper; of these, nine were blank and three contained the word "Jest." The nine chosen men then drew the slips of paper, and all those containing the word "Jest" were drawn; this was considered as signifying that God wished the Unity to have three spiritual chiefs.
[78] In Bohemian úzky, literally "narrow."
[79] In Eastern Bohemia, between the towns of Wildenschwert and Pardubic.
[80] In the Journal of the Bohemian Museum (Časopis Musea Království Českého) for 1886.
[81] See Chapter IV.
[82] The Bohemian word roh signifies "horn" in German and English.
[83] I quote the name as given by Dr. Jireček.
