All this is there perceived in the soul, though the
bodies suffer great distress; but this is soon over.
Have we no reason, then, to long for this journey?
Certainly. Hence, let us go on. The Lord guide us
and show us the right way, that we may not only
begin well, but also finish well.

O ye slain and martyred multitudes, who have
testified with your blood to the name of your and
our God, we have come to behold your martyrdom,
and to make it known, by writings, to our fellow
brethren; not that we intend to make a pilgrimage
to the places of your death, to salute you in the
manner of worship, or to bring you an oblation,
after the manner of the priests, by no means; for
this would profit neither you nor us; but we seek to
bring to remembrance your good examples. With
this we will begin.

Note.—Before we approach the sad mountains
and fields of the miserable, but nevertheless well
comforted martyrs, it will be necessary to give an
account respecting the mode of the inquisition
which, having commenced in the preceding century
already, had continued even to this time, and was
the cause of all the harm and distress which now
came upon the believers, and through which they
had to suffer, first in their consciences, and then in
their bodies, yea, were subjected to the most bitter
and cruel death.

In the preceding century, for the years 1214 and
1215, we showed the beginnings of the inquisition;
we now come to its progress and extension.
