Claes Jansz Visscher II - D’Arminiaensche uyt-vaert (The Arminian Funeral)

After the Synod of Dordrecht, all of the ministers who had attended the meeting had to accept the decisions made there. If they did not, they would be banished from the Netherlands. Most of the Remonstrant clergymen refused to sign and were therefore forced to leave. This satirical print and the accompanying ‘boorish conversation’ clearly convey that their victorious opponents, the Reformed Protestants, had no compassion for them at all.
