Concerning them, Ecbert, a monk of Schonaugh,
who himself disputed with them, writes thus: “Behold,
certain perverted, and perverting men (thus
he calls good Christians), who had concealed themselves
for a long time in hiding-places, and had
corrupted the Christian faith in many plain and simple
people, are at this time so greatly multiplied
throughout all the lands, that the Christian church
suffers great injury from the very pernicious poison
(so he calls the truth of the Gospel) which they
everywhere vent against her.” Serm. 8, contra
Catharos, T. 2. Auctor. Bybl. S. S. Patrum, edition
Paris, A. D. 1610, p. 831.
