1300 / History of the Faith, from Martyrs Mirror, in the 14th Century. p321
The author of the second book of the Persecutions, relating how these people, called Turilupins, were accused by some papistic writers, of not living honestly, replies in their stead, saying, "But these poor people are lamentably slandered; for they were upright Waldenses, to whom the papists imputed whatever they would." (Fol. 497, cot. 3.)
As regards their name, Joachine Caudarius states that they obtained the name of Turilupins, in Flanders, Artois, and Hainault, because they lived in wildernesses, among the wolves. (In lugibri Narrat. de excidio Wald. Alb., A. M., same place.)
It may be observed here, that if these Turilupins were true Waldenses, as has been declared, they rejected infant baptism, the swearing of oaths, revenge towards enemies, the mass, and all other Roman inventions, as appears from their own confession shown above.
A. D. 1380, Michael Cesenas, formerly a Minorite friar, or monk, wrote against the pope, calling him (from II Thess. 2) antichrist, and the Roman church, Babylon, and the congregation of those drunk with the blood of the saints. The pope deposed him from his dignity; but he adhered steadfastly to his opinion. (Joh. Munst., fol. 171. Catal. Test., fol. 691, compared with P. J. Twisck, Chron., p. 731.)
A. D. 1382, M. Matthaeus Parisiensis, a Bohemian, appeared, and wrote a large book concerning antichrist, (the pope), saying that he had already come, and could be found in Rome. Thus did also Lupoldbs de Bedenborgh. (Compare P. J. Tzvisck, Chron., Q. 734, cot. 1, with Catal. Test., fol. 794, 796. Merula, fol. 890.)
A. D. 1390.-Or about that time, mention is made of the Waldenses in the countries lying on the Baltic Sea; concerning whom Matthias Flac cius Illyricus states that he has an entire inquisitorial book, full of the proceedings held against the godly Waldenses who lived in those countries.
A. D. 1390, the Lord raised up Richard Withe, who wrote many glorious things against the pope, or the blasphemy of the so-called antichrist. (Bal. Cent., lib. 7, cap. 10, compared with Chron. van den Ondergang, page 734, cot. 1, 2.)
Jacob Mehrning, writing on the fourteenth century, touching baptism, says, "I have had in my hands a very old confession of some Waldensian brethren in Bohemia, printed in the German language, in which they expressly confess that in the beginning of Christianity no infants were baptized; and that also their forefathers did not do it," as John Bohemius writes. (Lib. 2,) Gentium Moribus, "In former times baptism was wont to be administered only to those who were previously instructed in the faith, and examined seven times in the week before Easter and Whitsuntide; these were then baptized upon the confession of their faith; but when baptism was afterwards deemed necessary to salvation, it was also ordained, by the papists, that new-born infants should be baptized, and that sponsors should be assigned them, who confessed the faith, and renounced the devil, in their stead." (Bapt. Hist., p. 738.)
1315 / Walter Lawlerd, a street precher, followers called Lawlerds, mainly from England, the poor preachers or the bare foot preachers, John Wycliffe preached for them.
