Of the Uprightness of These People

The author of the second book of the Persecutions, telling how these people, called Turilupins, were accused by some papist writers of not living honestly, replies on their behalf, saying: "But these poor people are lamentably slandered; for they were upright Waldenses, to whom the papists imputed whatever they pleased." Folio 497, column 3.
