		In 1592 a colleague (Petrus Plancius?) formally accused Arminius of the heresy of Pelagianism, deviance from the Belgic Confession and Heidelberg Catechism, and erroneous views on predestination (an accusation which was not systematically raised until he was professor of theology at Leiden, his principal opponent being Gomarus).
