For this cause they were often accused & complained of to the king, as contemners & despisers of the magistrates and rebels. Wherefore they were called by divers names according to the countries and places where they dwelt. For in the country about Lyons, they were called the pore people of Lyons:1 In the borders of Sarmatia & Livonia, and other countries towards the North, they were called Lollards: In Flanders, and Artoys, Turrelupius, of a desert where wolves did haunt: In Dolphin, with great despite, they were named Chagnardes, because they lived in places open to the Sun, and without house or harborough. But most commonly they were called Waldoys, of Waldo,2 who first instructed them in the word of God: which name continued until the name of Lutherans came up, which above all other, was most hated, and abhorred.
