Many which came thither to hear these disputations: supposing that they should have heard some goodly demon strations, were greatly abashed to see the Bishop and the Doctor so confounded: which thing afterward turned to the great benefit of many: for hereby they were moved to require the copies of the confession of their faith: by means whereof they were converted and embraced the truth, and namely iij. Doctors, who went about divers times to dissuade the Merindolians from their faith: whose ministry God afterwards used in the preaching of his Gospel.1 Of whom one was Doctor Combaudi Prior of S. Maximin, afterwards a Preacher in the territory of the Lords of Berne. An other was Doctor Somati, who was also a Preacher in the Bailiwick of Tonon. The other was Doctor Heraudi, pastor and Minister in the County of Newcastle.
