"Nestorians."
WALDENSES
"And because they observed no other day of rest but the
Sabbath days, they called them Insabathas, as much as to say, as
they observed no Sabbath." Luther's
"Fore-Runners" (original spelling), PP. 7, 8
WALDENSES
Roman Catholic writers try to evade the apostolic origin of
the Waldenses, so as to make it appear that the Roman is the only
apostolic church, and that all others are later novelties. And for
this reason they try to make out that the Waldenses originated with
Peter Waldo of the twelfth century. Dr. Peter Allix says:
"Some Protestants, on this occasion, have fallen into the
snare that was set for them...It is absolutely false, that these
churches were ever found by Peter Waldo...it is a pure
forgery." Ancient Church of
Piedmont, pp.192, Oxford: 1821
WALDENSES
"It is not true, that Waldo gave this name to the
inhabitants of the valleys: they wewre called Waldenses, or Vaudes,
before his time, from the valleys in which they dwelt." "Id.,
p. 182
WALDENSES
On the other hand, he "was called Valdus, or Waldo,
because he received his religious notions from the inhabitants of
the valleys." History of the
Christian Church, William Jones, Vol II, p.2
