In the meantime Huss's enemies were not asleep. Sealed depositions were taken from John of Protiva, a former in- cumbent of Bethlehem chapel, and Andrew of Broda, Huss's bitter foe, to be used against him at the council. On the basis of sermons they had heard and of rumors they had picked up on the streets, these men testified, among other things, that Huss held to the remanence of the bread after the words of institution and to the incompetence of priests in mortal sin to absolve. These deposi...tions were in Huss's hands at Krakowec before he set out for Constance. Copies with his interlineations and notes are still extant. 1 On October n, 1414, the journey to Constance began. Our account of its stages is derived in part from Huss's own letters and in part from Mladenowicz, one of his companions who remained with him until the end, even to standing by at the stake and watching his friend's dying agony. Huss had been placed by Sigismund and Wenzel under the protec- tion of three Bohemian nobles, John of Chlum, Henry of Chlum, his uncle, and Wenzel of Duba.
