Jan Hendrik Maronier (b. 1827 at Rotterdam, d. 1920) was a Remonstrant preacher successively at Zevenaar, [[Leiden (Zuid-Holland, Netherlands)|Leiden]], [[Utrecht (Utrecht, Netherlands)|Utrecht]], and Rotterdam. He wrote an excellent biography of the Remonstrant [[Arminius, Jacobus (1560-1609)|Jacobus Arminius]],<em> ]akob Arminius </em>(Amsterdam, 1905), and <em>Geschiedenis van het Protestantisme . . . 1648-1789 </em>(Leiden, 1907), besides a number of smaller works including some opposing the Roman Catholic Church, and of particular interest, <em>Het inwendig Woord </em>(Amsterdam, 1890), which treats [[Denck, Hans (ca. 1500-1527)|Hans Denck ]] and the Mennonites of [[Netherlands|Holland]]. "[[Menno Simons (1496-1561)|Menno Simons]] did not know the doctrine of the inner word, nor did [[Dirk Philips (1504-1568)|Dirk Philips]]." [[Ries, Hans de (1553–1638)|Hans de Ries]] acknowledges in addition to the Scriptures "another unwritten Word of God." With the exception of [[Obbes, Nittert (ca. 1581-ca. 1636)|Nittert Obbesz]] there is no trace of opposition to the doctrine of the inner word, states Maronier (page 221).
