That the Waldenses who Had Been United with Them, Called Taborites

THAT THE WALDENSES WHO HAD BEEN UNITED WITH THEM, CALLED TABORITES, WERE NOT RECEIVED BY THEIR OLD BROTHERS, AND WHY

Now when these Waldenses, called Taborites, who had been united with the Hussites and had separated from them because of war and other errors, wanted to reunite with the old Waldenses, who had been their brothers, these refused them out of sorrow of mind, so that the unchristian conduct of the Hussites might not be laid to their charge, since these seceders, as they thought, had been so intimate with the Hussites.

See here, beloved reader, how pure, upright and unfeigned the conduct of these old Waldenses was in this respect; how steadfastly and blamelessly they practiced their confession, desiring not to bear even the appearance of having fellowship with those who waged war and fought against their enemies.
