ABstrakt/ Abstract: As part of the manuscript collection of sermons written by Isaac Abrahamides Hrochotius, an evangelical preacher in Zvolen, two separate sermons dedicated to the problem of the Ottoman threat have been preserved. Both sermons date from 1600 and were written in Slovakized Czech. The first sermon was preached by Abrahamides in front of the army. The calls for boldness, morality and piety of soldiers, as well as expressive commenting especially when describing enemies, correspond to this. He preached the second sermon in front of the burghers, which is probably why the language is more gentle. The sermon contains admonition for penance and criticism of Christian society. Both sermons have a common feature that is plundering of the Zvolen region by the Crimean Tatars (Ottoman allies) in 1599. Expecting a new Ottoman attack, the preacher encouraged the believers and urged them to abandon sinful lives. Obviously, Martin Luther's ideas are inspiration for both sermons.
