Source heading; not independently verified

A. D. 1319, Pope John XXII. again began to
persecute the Waldenses in France, through his inquisitors,
the Jacobine, or Dominican, monks; who,
having convicted many of them, as papistic writers
say, of their belief (namely, that they were Waldenses),
delivered them to the princes and secular
authorities for punishment. Bzov. Annal. A. D. 1319,
Art. 10, from a manuscript in the Vatican library.
Also, in the second book of the Hist. of the Persecutions,
fol. 480, col. 3.

Touching the names of these people, as also the
manner of their martyrdom, suffering and death, I
have not been able to ascertain anything, except
that, professing the belief of the Waldenses (as we
have already stated), they were therefore subjected
to persecution and suffering.

Note.—A. D. 1328. At this time Marsilius de
Padua enjoyed distinction; he wrote against the
Pope, and also various things against the Roman
church, but his work was condemned as heresy, and
the reading of it strictly prohibited. Merul., fol. 870,
Georg. Pac. cap. 11, compared with P. J. Twisck,
Chron., page 685, col. 1.
