See also:EPISCOPIUS, See also:SIMON (1583–1643) , the Latin See also:form of the name of Simon Bischop, Dutch theologian, was See also:born at Amster-See also:dam on the 1st of See also:January 1583. In 1600 he entered the university of See also:Leiden, where he studied See also:theology under Jacobus See also:Arminius, whose teaching he followed. In 1610, the See also:year in which the Arminians presented the famous Remonstrance to the states of See also:- HOLLAND

Holland, he became pastor at Bleyswick, a small See also:village near See also:Rotterdam; in the following year he advocated the cause of the See also:Remonstrants (q.v.) at the See also:Hague See also:conference. In 1612 he succeeded See also:Francis See also:Gomarus as See also:professor of theology at Leiden, an See also:appointment which awakened the See also:bitter enmity of the Calvinists, and, on See also:account of the See also:influence See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H. Ger. lenzin, lengizin, lenzo, probably from the same root as " long " and referring to " the lengthening days ")
lent by it to the spread of Arminian opinions, was doubtless an ultimate cause of the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the See also:synod of See also:Dort in 1618. Episcopius was chosen as the spokesman of the thirteen representatives of the Remonstrants before the synod; but he was refused a See also:hearing, and the Remonstrant doctrines were condemned without any explanation or See also:defence of them being permitted. At the end of the synod's sittings in 1619, Episcopius and the other twelve Arminian representatives were deprived of their offices and expelled from the See also:country (see DORT, SYNOD OF). Episcopius retired to See also:Antwerp and ultimately to See also:France, where he lived partly at See also:Paris, partly at See also:Rouen. He devoted most of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to writings in support of the Arminian cause; but the See also:attempt of See also:Luke See also:Wad-ding (1588–1657) to win him over to the Romish faith involved him also in a controversy with that famous Jesuit. After the See also:death (1625) of See also:Maurice, See also:prince of See also:Orange, the violence of the Arminian controversy began to abate, and Episcopius was permitted in 1626 to return to his own country. He was appointed preacher at the Remonstrant See also:- CHURCH

church in Rotterdam and afterwards See also:rector of the Remonstrant See also:college in See also:Amsterdam. Here he died in 1643. Episcopius may be regarded as in See also:great See also:part the theological founder of Arminianism, since he See also:developed and systematized the principles tentatively enunciated by Arminius. Besides opposing at all points the See also:peculiar doctrines of Calvinism, Episcopius protested against the tendency of Calvinists to See also:lay so much stress on abstract See also:dogma, and argued that See also:Christianity was See also:practical rather than theoretical—not so much a See also:system of intellectual belief as a moral power—and that an orthodox faith did not necessarily imply the knowledge of and assent to a system of See also:doctrine which included the whole range of See also:Christian truth, but only the knowledge and See also:acceptance of so much of Christianity as was necessary to effect a real See also:change on the See also:heart and See also:life.
The See also:principal See also:works of Episcopius are his Confessio s. declaratio sentenliae pastorum gui in foederato Belgio Remonsirantes vocantur super praecipuis articuiis religionis Christianae (1621), his Apologia firms See also:confession (1629), his Verus theologus remonstrans, and his uncompleted See also:work Institutiones theologicae.
