Christian Massaeus, having noticed the case of a
great company of martyrs who, having been found
in the castle Minerve, were all burnt alive as heretics,
adds this account: “At that time, namely,
A. D. 1210, also at Paris, twenty-four who were of
the same obstinacy (thus he, after the manner of the
papists, calls the steadfastness of these people), were
burnt alive.” Christ. Mass. Chron., lib. 17, A. D.
1210, compared with the large Christen Martelarersboeck,
edit. 1619, fol. 455, col. 4.

The writer, after the manner of the papists, calls
these people heretics, and their steadfast faith obstinacy;
but how can anything good proceed from the
mouth of the wicked? However, this must not offend
us, since not only these, but even the ancient
holy prophets, apostles, and servants of God, were
stigmatized with many opprobrious names, yea,
titles of the devil, by evil worldly men.
