What it is
A confession written for the persecuted Reformed churches of the Low Countries and thrown over a castle wall to the authorities with a plea for toleration.
Why it lasted
A doctrinal standard of Reformed churches worldwide. Its author was hanged six years later.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
