 They united in 1619 at Antwerp, where the basis for a new church community was laid, under the name Remonstrant Reformed Brotherhood.Uytenbogaert and Episcopius, who had found a refuge in Rouen, and Grevinchoven, formerly a preacher of Rotterdam, now in Holstein, assumed the leadership of the Brotherhood while three exiled preachers secretly returned to their country to care for the congregations left there; for in spite of the unfavorable decree, there was still left a considerable number who would not hear the doctrine of absolute grace preached, and there were not wanting deposed preachers who dared to serve them.In 1621 Episcopius drew up a "Confessio sive declaratio sententiæ pastorum qui Remonstrantes vocantur" ["Confession or Declaration of the Remonstrant Pastors"], which found a large circulation in its Dutch translation.
