“In the year of our Lord 1163,” says the papistic
writer Orithemius, “certain heretics of the sect
called Cathari,” (by which are understood the Waldenses,
whose confession of faith we have above
shown not to be at variance with the Anabaptists of
the present day), “came from Flanders to Cologne,
and there secretly abode in a certain barn, near the
city. But as they did not come to church, even on
Sundays, they were detected by those living near
them. Having been brought to an examination
therefore, by our mother, the holy church (he means
Roman church), they were found to be confirmed
heretics.” Orith. Chron. Hirsaug. With this he
closes. And hence in order to explain the matter
more fully, we must of necessity have recourse to
papistic writers, though they were the adversaries
of these people.
