Source heading; not independently verified

We related, for the year 1035, of Berengarius,
deacon of Angiers, that he, with Bruno, the bishop
of said city, began to teach against transubstantiation
and infant baptism, and this, the most strenuously,
about A. D. 1060; which the Roman popes,
at different times, endeavored by councils and
otherwise to put a stop to, as was shown in its
place. And though Berengarius at times, from fear
of death, showed himself wavering and very weak
in his maintenance of said matters, he still effected
so much, that many who were friendly to his doctrine,
concurred with him therein, so that some of
them, who came into the bishopric of Treves, and
maintained their (abovementioned) views, were, like
the four persons mentioned previously, banished or
expelled by the archbishop of that place, A. D. 1106.
Dispersed thence, they departed into the Netherlands,
into the country of Liege, and to Antwerp,
and thereabouts, scattering, whithersoever they
came, the good seed of their true belief. In the
meantime, though these had been expelled from the
bishopric of Treves, some nevertheless remained,
who held their meetings in secret, and taught.
In the 2d book of the History of the Persecutions,
page 395, col. 3, from Thuan. Prefat., in Hist.
sui temp. ad Reg. Honr. 4, where for A. D. 1060,
read A. D. 1106.

Note.—The authors state of the aforementioned
people only that they were expelled, etc., but as no
formal expulsion can take place, without a previous
condemnation, we are quite inclined to think, that
they were first banished, and then expelled.
