of_o tholouse_n and_o yet_o their_o enemy_n have_v still_o go_v on_o to_o accuse_v they_o of_o manicheism_n chap._n xvi_o the_o albigenses_n justify_v by_o a_o conference_n whereof_o we_o have_v a_o

which_o the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n after_o so_o many_o age_n have_v improve_v against_o they_o but_o that_o we_o have_v something_o more_o to_o say_v this_o bishop_n who_o make_v the_o waldenses_n only_a schismatic_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n though_o he_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o another_o sort_n of_o schismatic_n than_o the_o donatist_n have_v pretend_v to_o prove_v this_o business_n

he_o observe_v therefore_o that_o it_o appear_v from_o the_o say_a conference_n that_o those_o against_o who_o the_o dispute_n be_v maintain_v differ_v from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n only_o in_o the_o follow_a article_n the_o dispute_n say_v he_o chief_o concern_v the_o obedience_n that_o be_v due_a to_o pastor_n which_o we_o find_v that_o the_o waldenses_n deny_v and_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o prohibition_n to_o the_o contrary_a they_o believe_v they_o have_v power_n to_o preach_v both_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o since_o this_o their_o disobedience_n can_v not_o be_v

of_o their_o pastor_n whence_o the_o pretence_n of_o disobey_v they_o be_v take_v be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n afterward_o they_o confute_v the_o liberty_n that_o layman_n take_v to_o

preach_v tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o weak_a and_o ignorant_a above_o all_o they_o prove_v from_o scripture_n that_o woman_n to_o who_o silence_n only_o be_v recommend_v must_v not_o

and_o so_o clear_a a_o succession_n in_o tradition_n and_o as_o these_o heretic_n absent_v themselves_o from_o the_o church_n to_o pray_v among_o themselves_o in_o private_a in_o their_o house_n they_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o leave_v the_o house_n of_o prayer_n the_o holiness_n whereof_o be_v so_o much_o recommend_v in_o scripture_n and_o even_o by_o the_o son_n of_o
