Source heading; not independently verified

In the midst of these persecutions, which, in the
years 1372 and 1373 were carried on against the
Waldenses, who were called Turilupins, because in
Flanders, Artois, and Hainault they had to live in
forests inhabited by wolves (as we have already
stated), it occurred, that among a great number of
these people, who were burnt as heretics, with their
writings, books, and clothes, also a certain woman,
called Peronne of Aubeton, who had accepted that
doctrine and faith, and refused to depart from it,
was condemned as a heretic to be publicly burned;
which, as is stated, took place with her, at Paris,
A. D. 1373; and thus, continuing steadfast, she testified
that the “Trial of her faith was more precious
than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with
fire.” 1 Pet. 1:7.

Note.—Respecting the offering of this woman, as
also, the accusations, cast by the papists against the
Waldenses, called Turilupins, and how A. Mellinus,
preacher of the Calvinists, replies in their stead,
saying that these poor people were lamentably slandered,
and that they were upright Waldenses; also,
that the papists imputed to them whatever they
would. See large Book of Christian Martyrs, 2d
part, fol. 497.
