Intestine strifes and divisions devoured their strength. The Moderates — those of Prague, Calixtines, Utraquists, for by all these names they were called, — weary of the long unhappy struggle, were willing to return to the bosom of the Church if only the Cup (calia;), and thus Communion under both kinds {sub utrdque), were guaranteed to them, and two or three secondary concessions made. Not so the Taborites, who drew their name from a mountain fastness which they had fortified and called Mount ...Tabor. These, the Ultras, the democratic radical party, separating them- selves off as early as 1419, had left Hus and his teaching very far behind. Ignoring the whole historic develop- ment of Christianity, they demanded that a clean sweep should be made of everything in the Church's practice for which an express and literal warrant in Scripture could not be adduced. When at the Council of Basle an agree- ment was patched up with the Calixtines on the footing which I named but now (1433), a few further promises being thrown in, which might mean anything, and, as the issue proved, did mean nothing, the Taborites w^ould not listen to the compromise.
