Quote by E.H. Broadbent
“Although the writings of the brethren were frequently burned with their authors, some escaped, among them a book by Peter Cheltschizki, entitled “The Net of Faith”[54] written in 1440, which preserves much of their teaching and exercised a great influence. He writes: “Nothing else is sought in this book but that we, who come last, desire to see the first things and wish to return to them in so far as God enables us.”
