Rare pamphlet comprising Naeranus' justification of his accusations against the remonstrant Jan Waarts. Naeranus published the pamphlet with only his initials "J.N." on the title page. The learned author Johannes Naeranus (1608-1679) became remonstrant preacher in Oudewetering, in 1652. There, on his instigation, a special school for remonstrant preachers was founded in 1669. Naeranus became rector of the school and he taught Greek, Latin, philosophy and history. The author is also known for his biography and genealogy of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (first published in 1670). His album amicorum is preserved at the Royal Library in The Hague.
