Time was when children played –
imitating the real, world.
Now, sadly, too many adults(?) are
childishly concerned about
an unreal world of play.

Hail, Father, whose creating call
Unnumbered worlds attend;
Jehovah, comprehending all,
Whom none can comprehend!
In light unsearchable enthroned,
Whom angels dimly see,
The fountain of the Godhead owned,
And foremost of the Three.
From Thee, through an eternal now,
The Son, Thine offspring, flowed;
An everlasting Father Thou,
An everlasting God.
Nor quite displayed to worlds above,
Nor quite on earth concealed;
By wondrous, unexhausted love,
To mortal man revealed.
Supreme and all-sufficient God,
When nature shall expire,
And worlds created by Thy nod
Shall perish by Thy fire.
Thy Name, Jehovah, be adored
By creatures without end,
Whom none but Thy essential Word
And Spirit comprehend

The “Council of Constance” on this date, 11/5/1414, brought to trial two Bohemian men vitally interested in reforming religion as it then stood. Evidently the “Council of Constance” was not interested in reform.
They condemned John Huss (aka Jan Hus), a former dean of philosophical faculty and the author of On Simony, On the Church. This council also condemned his friend Jerome of Prague. They even went so far as to anathematized the teachings of the great English thinker/minister, John Wycliffe.
Huss was burned at stake the next year (1415) and they killed Jerome of Prague the year after that (1416). Their “sins”? What was called “heresy,” in reality outspoken appeals for church reform and (at least in Huss’ case) for seeking religious rights for the common people.
