At the same time, many Christians at Metz, who
professed the same faith and were called Waldenses,
were shamefully expelled from Metz, and their
books burnt, because they had translated the Holy
Scriptures into their mother tongue.

The papistic author of the large Belgic Chronicle,
upon the authority of the ancient historian Albericus,
calls them a Waldensian sect, and says: “That
certain abbots were sent to preach against them;
who burnt some books translated from the Latin
into their mother tongue, and thus extirpated said
sect. Mon. Nuciensis Magn. Chron. Belgicum,
edit. Frankfort, A. D. 1607, page 189.

This serves to confirm the preceding narrative.
We will now conclude our account of the persecutions
which occurred in the twelfth century, and
proceed to the thirteenth century.
