Abstract

When Melchior Hofmann died in the Strassburg prison in 1543, his Ordinance of God had won followers throughout the Low Countries, across the channel in England, along the North Sea in East Friesland, and along the Baltic Coast from Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg to Danzig at the mouth of the Vistula River. This rapid spread was due not only to a strong sense of mission on the part of all those accepting the call of the ordinance, but also to the severe persecution of the Anabaptists and their resulting dispersal. The persecution was strongest under Charles V and Philips II in the southern part of the Low Countries, the present Belgium. The regent representing the emperor resided in Brussels. In its effort to exterminate Anabaptism, the influence of the court of Brussels on the stadholders of the various provinces was, as a rule, strongest in the south, in Flanders, and Brabant.
