To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the n)ore general and extensive sense, it comprehends all the various kinds of heretics (or dissenters from Ihe church of Rome) who resided at that time in Narbonne Gaul, i. E. The southern part of France. The term Albigenses, in its more confined sense, was used to denote those heretics who in- clined towards the Manichean system, and who were otherwise known by the name of Catharists, Publicans or Paulicians, and Bulgarians. This appears, evidently, from many incontestable au- thorities, a...nd more especially from the Codese Inquisitionis Tolosande, (published in Lernberch's * Hallam's Middle Agcb. 'p. 506. i;3 History of llie Inquisition) in which the Albi- genses arc carefully distinguished from the other sects that made a noise in tijat century. * I am therefore obhged, in this case, to dissent from liie opinion expressed by Jones, in his excellent His- tory of the VValdenses, who considers the Albi- genses as a branch of that church. I am the more inclined to consider the Albi«;ensos a dif- ferent sect from the circumstance of their defend- ing themselves when attacked, which appears not to have been done by the VValdenses, so early as the thirteenth century.
