Jan Hus was burned in 1415. For a long time after that, English speakers could read about him. They could not hear him.
His sermons stayed in Czech and Latin. The man everyone quotes as a forerunner of the Reformation was almost silent in our language.
This episode is the next Hus sermon we have in English: The Wheat and the Tares.
Hus takes Matthew 13 and refuses the easy reading. The field is mixed. The wheat and the weeds grow together. The servants want to start pulling. The Lord tells them to wait. Hus preaches that into a church that wanted purity by force and a world that still does.
You get the backstory first: Prague, Bethlehem Chapel, Constance, the broken safe conduct, the fire. Then the sermon.
If you only know Hus as a statue or a Reformation footnote, this is the voice they tried to bury.
