The Perſecutions of the Waldenſes i» Provence, 


Heſe came from Piedmont, when their Vallies were over-peopled. The 
Country of Proverce, at their firſt arrival, was a deſert, but within few 
years, by Gods blefſing upon their labors, it abounded with Corn, Wine; Oy], 
Cheſnuts, and other truits. : Tag SZ 
Their habitations being near to 4viznion ( many times'the Popes Seat) they 
were expoſed to ſundry Periecutions, as 4no 1380. and at other times: But the 
greateſt of all began about the year 1360. 1n the time of King Lew the Twelfth; 
who being informed that in Provence was a certain kind of People that lived not 
. according to the Laws of the Church of Rome, but were an accurſed People, 
Deviliſh lan: committing all kinds of wickedneſs and villanies ; He gave Commiſſion to his 
_ Parliament in Provexce to take cognizance of it, and to'puniſh them according 
to their demerits, 
The Court proſecuting this order with rigor ; and the King hearing that. 
divers innocent Perſons were put to death , he ent his Maſter of Requeſts, and 
Confeſlor into Provence, to find out what kind of Perſons theſe were, who at 
their return, certified him, that all the former oy AT os were untrue,that they 
were neither Sorcerers, nor Whoremongers, but lived honeſtly,did hurt to none; 
cauſed their Children to be Baptized, taught them thier Belief,and the Ten Com-. 
mandments, and that they carefully kept the Zo#ds day, and had the Word of 
God purely expounded to them : Whereupon the King ſwore an Oath, That 
Note. A Liheder chan himſelf, and his Catholick Subjetfs, Upon this information 
Efent and ſtayed the Perſecution, | | | 
Some time after the waldenſes did ſend two of their Miniſters [George 2Mor- 
rell and Peter Maſſon] to Oecolampadins, Copito, 'Bucer and Haller, to pas with 
chem about matters of Religion, and to have there advice in many things.

committed there great {laughters : Many of the lnhabitants fled into an Orchard, 
where the Soldiers raviſhed many Women and Maidens, ,and having kept them 
there a day and a night, they uſed them fo Beaſtly, that the Womea with Child, 
and younger Maidens died preſently after. | | 
Many of theſe Merindolians hid themſelves in Rocks and dark Caves, where 
ſome wcre famiſhed , others were choaked with fire and ſmoak ſet to. their 
Caves mouths. Many more were the outrages and cruelties which this wicked 
Opede committed : But the Lord found him out ar laſt, ſtriking him with a

Fenn forthis terrible diſcaſe, Worms bred in his Bowels, which continually gnawed 
him. Then did he ſend to Arles for a famous Chyrurgion, who cured him of 
his difficulty to make Water, after which, deſiring all to depart the Room, the 
Chyrurgion in private exhorted him to repent of his former cruelty and blood- 
ſhed, telling him that this his ſtrange bleeding was Gods Jult hand upon him for 
ſhedding ſo much innocent blood: But theſe words pierced the impure conſcience 
of this wicked Wretch, and more troubled him than the torments of his diſeaſe, 
ſo that he cryed out to lay hands on the ron-g9s 2006 as ant Heretick : Whereupon

In the bagpaning of this Perſecution, there was one John de Roxma, a Monk, 
who gat a Commiſſion to examine thoſe whom he ſuſpected to be Hereticks ; 
whereupon he afflited the faithful with all kinds of cruelty; Amongſt other 
horrible torments that he uſed, this was one ; He filled Boots with boilij aſe, 
and put them upon their Legs, tying them backwards oyer a Form, znd their 
Legs hanging down over a ſoft Fire: Thus he tormented very many, and in the 
end moſt cruelly put them to death. pry ae |

Monk, ſent to his Parliament at Provence that they ſhould apprehend and con-
