Abstract
The Czech Reformation in the given context is not understood only as an official existence of her sections in the 15th and 16th centuries, but also in her continuation in the time of persecutions in the 17th and 18th centuries till the Edict of Tolerance was decreed in 1781. On the bases of different official reports of both the Church and State administration the presence of secret protestants can be traced during the 150 years.
Only the so called solemn applications for transfer to non-catholic Churches confirm the same basic core in the people's responses taken in various far-away areas. This proves the obvious and conscious link to Hus and the Hussitism.
