In 1569, his opponents published a work by ‘Christianus Neuter,’ the Impartial Christian, containing fake vernacular sermons by Brother Cornelis in which he attacked Protestants and Erasmian Catholics in the most violent and coarse terms. The book also describes how Brouwer founded a secret society of attractive women and girls of which he acted as the flagellating father confessor. The satirical work is now usually attributed to his ‘editor’ of 1569, the Bruges printer and publisher Hubert Goltz, and a curé of Bruges, Jean de Casteele and was extremely successful: up until its last print in 1714, it was printed no less then seventeen times. The present 1698 edition adds two more apocryphal ‘Brother Cornelis’ dialogues for the first time: see P. C. Molhuysen &amp; P. J. Blok (eds.), Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek.
