Smectymnuus was the nom de plume of a group of Puritan clergymen active in England in 1641. It comprised four leading English churchmen, and one Scottish minister Young . They went on to provide core leadership for the anti episcopal forces in the Church of England , continuing into the Westminster Assembly , where they also opposed the Independent movement. The name is an acronym derived from the initials of the five authors Stephen Marshall English clergyman Stephen Marshall , Edmund Calamy the Elder Edmund Calamy , Thomas Young 1587 1655 Thomas Young , Matthew Newcomen , and William Spurstow . Their first pamphlet, An Answer to a booke entituled, An Humble Remonstrance. In Which, the Original of Liturgy and Episcopacy is Disussed , appeared in March, 1641. The pamphlet was written in response to Joseph Hall English Bishop and satyrist Joseph Hall s An Humble Remonstrance to the High Court of Parliament . It is thought that John Milton wrote the postscript for Smectymnuus s reply. This response provoked Hall to write another reply A Defence of the Humble Remonstrance, against the Frivolous and false Expectations of Smectymnuus . Smectymnuus answered Hall again with their A Vindication of the Answer to the Humble Remonstrance, from the Unjust Imputations of Fivolousnesse and Falsehood .

Orangism is a monarchism monarchist political support for the House of Orange Nassau as monarchy of the Netherlands . It played a significant role in the political history of the Netherlands since the Dutch revolt . Since the mid 19th century, the Netherlands has been a constitutional monarchy , meaning that the term Orangism is no longer in general use and that the House of Orange, and the colour orange are now national symbols without much other political significance. Supporters of the monarchy are now referred to as monarchists or supporters of the monarchy rather than Orangists, with anti monarchists known as republicans . History To 1795 During the Dutch Republic Orangism, Prinsgezindheid or the Prinsgezinde pro prince party was a political force opposing the Staatsgezinde pro Republic party. This can be seen as a continuation of the political opposition between the remonstrant s and counter remonstrant s during the Twelve Years Truce . The Remonstrants were tolerant and republican, with a liberal view on biblical interpretation, no belief in predestination and were led by men like Johan van Oldenbarnevelt . Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange relied on the counter remonstrants to oppose van Oldenbarnevelt and support the prince s claim to the Dutch throne or stadthouder ship, and things got so bad that civil war threatened. Orangists such as the Vice Admiral Johan Evertsen backed the election of William III of England William III , Prince of Orange , the posthumously born son of William II, Prince of Orange , to the office of stadtholder of the Netherlands. The office had been vacant since the death of William II in 1650. The pro Republic party was marked by caution especially in all matters that could harm trade , led by raadspensionaris Johan de W ... more details
