Waldenses
"And because they observed no other day of rest but the Sabbath days, they
called them Insabathas, as much as to say, as they observed no Sabbath." Luther's "Fore-Runners" (original
spelling), PP. 7, 8
Waldenses
Roman Catholic writers try to evade the apostolic origin of the Waldenses,
so as to make it appear that the Roman is the only apostolic church,
and that all others are later novelties. And for this reason they try
to make out that the Waldenses originated with Peter Waldo of the twelfth
century. Dr. Peter Allix says:
"Some Protestants, on this occasion, have fallen into the snare
that was set for them...It is absolutely false, that these churches were
ever found by Peter Waldo...it is a pure forgery." Ancient Church
of Piedmont, pp.192, Oxford: 1821
Waldenses
"It is not true, that Waldo gave this name to the inhabitants of the valleys:
they were called Waldenses, or Vaudes, before his time, from the valleys in which
they dwelt." "Id., p. 182
Waldenses
On the other hand, he "was called Valdus, or Waldo, because he received
his religious notions from the inhabitants of the valleys." History
of the Christian Church, William Jones, Vol II, p.2
