Persecution of the Orthodox Believers in Hungary, in the Year 1507

The old Waldenses, or orthodox believers, whose sound confession we have shown elsewhere, were now severely oppressed and persecuted in Hungary; so much so that they had to deliver to Uladislaus, King of Bohemia, a defense of their faith against the unfounded accusations for which they suffered persecution. We have shown this in part in the Account of Holy Baptism, for the year 1507, and it is confirmed by H. Boxhorn, in his tract concerning this matter, folio 27; compared with P. J. Twisck, Chron., page 930, column 2.
