Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

In Austria, near Passau, a great number of the
Waldenses or believers were apprehended for their
religion, and publicly burned alive in the city of
Crema, adhering steadfastly to their faith, and
evincing in the midst of the flames, that the death
and pain which they suffered for the honor of God,
and the truth, were sweet to them. Chron., p. 657,
col. 1, from Henr. Boxh., fol. 27. Phil. Marnix
Tafer., fol. 141.

Note.—Immediately after the account of the
martyrs, noticed for the year 1315, the same author
speaks of their teacher, their great number, and
comfortful martyrdom; for, after saying, that to
many of them death and pain were sweet, he adds
these words: “Which, among others, appeared also
in the case of their teacher, called Lolhard, who
confessed in his trial, that in the countries of Austria
and Bohemia alone he could find eighty thousand
persons who were one with him in religion.” Chron.,
page 657, col. 2, taken from the writers cited.

Note.—These are the same people whose confession
relative to baptism, the swearing of oaths,
and other articles, we have shown to accord well
with that of the Anabaptists. Concerning this, see
our account of the orthodox faith for the fourteenth
century, year 1315, and the testimonies adduced
there.
