[13] Most, if not all, the seventeenth century publications here listed are found in the British Museum.
[14] “It is possible,” says Wickliffe in his work called The Threefold Bond of Love, “that our noble queen of England, sister of the Cæsar, may have the gospel written in three languages,—Bohemian, German and Latin; now, to heredicate her on that account, would be Luciferian folly.” Agnes Strickland’s Lives of the Queens of England, v. 1, p. 599.
[15] On p. 447 of his Písemnictví České (Bohemian Literature), Dr. Flajšhans asserts that Komenský wrote in 1660 a Latin treatise on the Unity of the Brethren, entitled De Bono Unitatis, etc., which he dedicated to Charles II. Obviously the treatise referred to by Flajšhans and the Exhortation of the Churches of Bohemia to the Church of England is one and the same.
[16] On pp. 78-9, v. 2, part 1, is a poem by James Montgomery, reprinted from his Greenland, edit. 1850, pp. 73-4, which pictures Komenský leading out the remnant of the United Brethren from the land of their sires.
[17] Josef Pastor published a monthly journal devoted to the interests of emigrants, in Hamburg, 1884. Lessons in elementary English were printed in every issue. The publication was called České Osady v Americe. (Bohemian Settlements in America.)
The Orgán Bratrstva Č. S. P. S., Chicago, official organ of the Bohemian Slavonic Benevolent Societies in the United States of America and Canada, has an English section.

[18] This Libanus is no other than Waclaw Libanus, whom Komenský ordained as an acolyte of the Unity at the Synod held at Leszno (Poland) Oct. 14, 1638. Libanus lived for some time in exile in Hungary. Korrespondence Jana Amose Komenského. V. 2, pp. 182, 194.
