Johannes Arnoldi Corvinus (real surname Ravens) (c.1582–1650)[1] was a Dutch Remonstrant minister and jurist.
Life
He was born in Leiden, and in 1606 was a Calvinist preacher there. A pupil of Jacobus Arminius,[2] he took up the Arminian views, he was a public supporter of them by 1609, and in 1610 signed the Five Articles of Remonstrance. Subsequently, as a consequence of the Synod of Dort, he lost his church office in 1619. He left the country, being abroad until 1630. Studying law, he then had a career as advocate in Amsterdam.[3]
