And the so-called "political safety" of Arminius is fiction. No wonder he was careful about speaking out. Sounds to me like anyone who would have spoken up in opposition to the majority (er, rather, the unanimous) position of the council of Dordt would have had a shortened life expectancy.

Where are those Hugo Grotius underoos?
Another supporter, Hugo Grotius (who became the father of international law), was sentenced to life in prison but managed to escape.

Funny. What the OP implies and what the subsequent articles say paint two entirely different pictures. The OP implies that he was arrested on charges of treason trumped up by Calvinist ministers and delegates in order to kill off a heretic. The other articles don't appear to support such a notion.
