Answ. This Erbrardus professeth to confute in the heretics that he dealeth with, 1. That the Law is not of faith, but is to be reprobate &c. 2. He proveth it against them that the Prophets and Patriarchs are saved. 3. That it was the true God that gave Moses the Law. 5. That God made all things, and that they falsely held a Good and a Bad Maker of the World. 6. That children should be Baptized. 7. That it is lawful to marry. 9. For the Resurrection, and so on. And are these Waldenses and this man to he believed of them too?

§. 20. Ermingendus another great Writer is his next proof.
Answ. This Ermingardus alias Ermengandus, (we pardon him the misnaming) writeth against Heretics that hold, 1. That an evil God made the World. 2. That there are two Gods, a Good, and a Malignant. 3. That it was not the true God that gave Moses the Law. 4. That Moses was a Magician. 5. That Marriage is unlawful, and so on as the rest, even to the denial of the Resurrection. And about Baptism (Cap. 12. pag. 1249. Bibl. Pat. To. 4. Part. 1.) that Baptism profits neither young nor old without the imposition of their hands.] Is this a good witness that the Waldenses were against Infant-Baptism?
