Carl Bangs writes that in 1593, the enemies of Arminius
accused him before the Consistory of Amsterdam (something like our session) of three errors.
One of the alleged errors concerned Arminius' view of “works.” He was accused of teaching that
too much could not be ascribed to good works, nor could they
be sufficiently commended, provided no merit were attributed to them.
At a hearing on the accusations, Arminius simply stood by
that teaching. The consistory
cleared him of all three charges. Bangs, Arminius - a Study in the Dutch Reformation, p. 143.
