'Constraint on Trial' examines the life and thought of Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert (1522-90). The self-made Coornhert was a notary, secretary, artist, poet, playwright, translator, theologian, but most of all, he was an intrepid controversialist, "born to contradict", indefatigable in his critique of the public church and sects. His main concern in polemics and disputations was the defense of freedom of conscience and advocacy of toleration. Coornhert's individualism made him eschew any restrictions on personal religious choice. His tolerationist writings, especially 'Synod on the Freedom of Conscience' (1582) and 'Trial of the Killing of Heretics' (1590), were rooted in his spiritualist belief system. He found inspiration in other protagonists of religious freedom, such as Sebastian Franck and Castellio, but his ideas were uniquely Coornhertian. He possessed an unrelenting drive to combat constraint, and regarded himself as "God's battering ram, meant to break down the prison of men's conscience".--Back cover.

Summary: Een belangrijk deel van het oeuvre van de Nederlandse voorvechter van tolerantie Dirck Volkertszoon Coornhert (1522-1590) handelt over ethiek. Als overkoepelende gedachte daarbij geldt dat wij via inzicht, rede en oefening kunnen komen tot een deugdzaam leven, gemoedsrust en eenwording met God. Deze moraalleer is vooral bekend uit omvangrijke werken als de Zedekunst (1586). Maar Coornhert schreef ook vele kortere teksten over thema's die hij van belang achtte voor de deugd, zoals volmaakbaarheid, rede en kennis, onwetendheid en het kwaad. Voor deze bloemlezing zijn veertien van Coornherts korte teksten in modern Nederlands omgezet. Samen geven zij een gevarieerd beeld van de morele denkbeelden van een van de meest invloedrijke Nederlandse auteurs uit de zestiende eeuw.
