Calix tines

a Christian sect in ~ Bohemia, the more moderate of the two great sections into which the Hu ites were divided in 1420. Unlike the Taborites—the other section — they did not seek to subvert the government of the Church of Rome, but demanded the restoration of the cup to the people in the celebration of the Supper; the preaching of the Gospel in primitive simplicity and purity; the separation of the priests from secular, and their entire devotion to spiritual, concerns; and, the prevention or punishment, by lawful authority, of “mortal” sins. The council of Basel, in 1438, to end the disastrous Bohemian war, invited envoys from the Hu ites.
