§. 8. His next proof is from Bernard, of whom I need to say no more than what Cassander, Usher and others have oft said, that it was the foresaid Manichean Heretics called Catharists that Bernard describeth by the name of Apostolic. And that he went by fame (as Leodiensis did) which falsely accused the Albigenses ⟨p. 387⟩among them as guilty of the same heresies; And that the same Bernard accuseth those that he spake of, of other heinous things; If you believe from him that the Albigenses were guilty of the one, you have the same testimony that they were guilty of the other.

§. 9. His next proof is the report of a late Papist Jos. Vicecomes, l. 2. c. 1. Whom he also after mentioneth in his Reply, who as truly numbereth Luther, Calvin, and Beza with the adversaries of Infant-Baptism. If such witnesses be his proof, he could not have chosen better for his turn than him and Cochleus, and some such calumniators, of which sort I could name him more.
