It was no concern of his if Vorst was appointed by the States to succeed Arminius as Professor of Theology at Leyden; yet, deeming his duty as Defender of the Faith to be bound by no seas, he actually interfered to prevent it, and rendered Vorst's life a burden to him, when he might just as reasonably have protested against the choice of a Grand Lama of Thibet.
The States resented at first the interference of the King of England, and supported Vorst, but the ultimate result of James's prolonged agitation was that in 1619 the National Synod of Dort declared Vorst's works to be impious and blasphemous, and their author unworthy to be an orthodox professor.
And if in covering the five miles to Judge Van Vorst's he exceeded the speed limit, the fact that from the rear seat Jimmie held the shotgun against the base of his skull was an extenuating circumstance. They arrived in the nick of time. In his own car young Van Vorst and a bag of golf clubs were just drawing away from the house.

"Not to me, you won't," declared his captor. "You're going to drive straight to Judge Van Vorst's, and explain to him!" The stranger tossed his arms even higher. "Thank God!" he exclaimed gratefully. With his prisoner Jimmie encountered no further trouble. He made a willing captive.

She had just decided that she would walk down the lane and wait for Chester on the bridge, when a thunderous knock came at the east kitchen door. She recognized August Vorst's knock and lighted a lamp in no great haste, for she did not like him. He was a gossip and Thyra hated gossip, in man or woman. But August was privileged.
"The devil probably he's your most familiar instrument." "Reggie! I'm surprised at you. You know " The remainder of Miss Van Vorst's speech was lost to Hermia, who sat staring speechless at the stage curtain, her body suddenly ice-cold, all its blood throbbing in her temples. "The Lady Orchestra!" The words had fallen so lightly that their significance had dawned upon her slowly.
Vorst's book the Tractatus Theologicus de Deo, an ugly, square, brown book of five hundred pages is as unreadable as it is unprepossessing. Bayle says that it was shown to the King whilst out hunting, and that he forthwith read it with such energy as to be able to despatch within an hour to his resident at the Hague a detailed list of its heresies.
