He had inferred however from the Prince's intimations, when he had broached the subject to him in 1617, that he was not inclined towards these supposed projects, and had heard that opinion distinctly expressed from the mouth of Count William. That the Contra-Remonstrants secretly entertained these schemes, he had been advised from many quarters, at home and abroad.
Grotius viewed them in the same light, agreeably to the sentiments which had been instilled into him in his infancy, as we find in a letter written, April 1, 1617 , to his brother then in France; but when he came to riper years, he did them justice, highly valuing their society, and receiving many of them into his confidence, particularly the learned Dionysius Petavius.

Meantime the States-General, in full assembly, on 11th November 1617, voted that the National Synod should be held in the course of the following year.
