Abstract
The contribution deals with the question of how the baroque preachers reflected inappropriate behavior of the people in the church. The contribution is mainly based on a postila by Bohemian preacher Pavel Josef Axlar in st.
Vitus Cathedral in Prague. His attempt was to draw attention to the variety of written materials and resources from which the preachers worked out and what they prefered to their own experience and the experiences.
