In speaking of the treatment of Huss and his imprisonment, it says: “The pope, however, profiting little by his perfidy, was soon after committed to the same prison.”WWPGC 14.12

From this statement, in connection with the preceding paragraph, it would appear that the pope was cast into the same prison in which Huss was first incarcerated. Bower, however, presents the matter in a different way, as will be seen by reading his account of the imprisonment of John XXIII in the same edition, on page 188.WWPGC 14.13

Response: Criticism accepted, but changing the text to agree with Bonnechose.WWPGC 15.1

1888 book read: “The reformer was in a short time arrested, by order of the pope and cardinals, and thrust into a loathsome dungeon. The pope, however, profiting little by his perfidy, was soon after committed to the same prison.”WWPGC 15.2

1911 Edition was changed to read, and in so doing following Bonnechose, volume 1, page 247: “The Reformer was in a short time arrested, by order of the pope and cardinals, and thrust into a loathsome dungeon. Later he was transferred to a strong castle across the Rhine, and there kept a prisoner. The pope, profiting little by his perfidy, was soon after committed to the same prison.”WWPGC 15.3
