"Enfeebled by illness and imprisonment,—for the damp, foul air of his dungeon had brought on a fever which nearly ended his life,—Huss was at last brought before the council. Loaded with chains he stood in the presence of the emperor, whose honor and good faith had been pledged to protect him. During his long trial he firmly maintained the truth, and in the presence of the assembled dignitaries of church and state he uttered a solemn and faithful protest against the corruptions of the hierarchy. When required to choose whether he would recant his doctrines or suffer death, he accepted the martyr's fate. GC 107.2"
"And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles."
Both passages describe individuals being brought before authorities (kings/emperors and governors) because of their faith. Matthew 10:18 is a prophecy of this, and the EGW passage describes its fulfillment in Huss's experience.
