Now to your particular Laws. 1. Saith H. T. [Let him not name the Waldenses: for they held the Real presence, that the Apostles were Lay men, that all Magistrates fall from their dignity by any mortal sin, that it is not lawful to swear, &c. and Waldo lived but in one thousand one hundred and sixty.

Answ. 1. We have better assurance of the faith of the Waldenses in their own published Confessions, then from the mouth of their Adversaries. 2. The Lutherans hold the real presence, and yet are of the same Religion and Church with us. 3. The Apostles were Lay-men in the Jews account and sense, as not being Priests or Levites, but not in Christians account that believed their mission: and thus thought the Waldenses. 4. They thought that Magistrates and Ministers do by Mortal sin forfeit all the right and title to their office, from which themselves may have comfort and justification in judgement: But they never thought that they were not to be obeyed by others, or that their actions were not valid for the Churches good. 5. Many of the ancientest Fathers thought it unlawful to swear at all, that yet are cited by you as of your Church. But the Waldenses are slandered in these points. 6. Though Waldo was but about one thousand one hundred and sixty, yet the same Religion and Church under other names, and before those names were fastened ⟨p. 131⟩on them, was much elder, as Raynerius may satisfy you. So that for all this, the Waldenses and we are of one Church and Religion.
