The Christian Sabbath defended against a crying evil in these times of the antisabitarians…

on the eight of the Ides of June held a Council at Toulouse with Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops and Abbots of the Province of Gothia, Gascony, Spain, and hither Brittany. In which Council, amongst other things ordered there, all those heretics were damned and driven out of the Church, who counterfeiting a show of religion, did condemn the Sacrament of the Lords body and blood, the Baptism of children, and all Ecclesiastical Orders, and the bands of lawful marriages. All which heresies as invented by Peter Bruis, and propagated by Henry his successor, our Peter in this Treatise of his doth pursue. So that this whole story seems very obscure; and yet the two latter points mentioned by this Andreas, I do not find to be any of the opinions laid to the charge of Peter Bruis by those that were contemporary with him. For Petrus Cluniacensis reduceth all his heresies (as he calls them) but to these five heads. 1. He denies that children before they come to the age of understanding can be saved by the Sacrament of Baptism, and that another's faith can profit him, who cannot use his own; because by their opinion, not another mans faith but his own with Baptism saveth him, the Lord professing, that whosoever shall believe, and be baptized, he shall be saved; but whosoever will not believe shall be damned. 2. That there ought not to be any fabric of Temples or Churches, that ⟨p. 25⟩such as are made, ought to be thrown down; that holy places for prayers are not necessary for Christians, because as well in a Tavern as in the Church, as well in the Market-place, as in the Temple; before an Altar, or before a stable God doth hear being called upon, and heareth them who are worthy. 3. He commands holy crosses to be broken in pieces and burned, because the representation of such an instrument, whereupon Christ was so direfully tortured, and cruelly slain is not worthy of any veneration or supplication; but in revenge of Christs torments and death, to be disgraced with all manner of ignominy, and to be bewen in pieces with swords, and burnt with fire. 4. He doth not only deny the truth of the Lords body and blood daily, and continually to be offered in the Church by the Sacrament; but determines it to be altogether nothing, and that it ought not to be offered unto God. 5.

on the eight of the Ides of Iune held a Councell at Tolouse with Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops and Abbats of the Province of Gothia, Gascony, Spaine, and hither Britany. In which Councell, amongst other things ordered there, all those haeretiques were damned and driven out of the Church, who counterfeiting a shew of religion, did condemne the Sacrament of the Lords body and blood, the Baptisme of children, and all Ecclesiasticall Orders, and the bands of lawfull marriages.
