again_o subdivide_v into_o two_o part_n the_o first_o and_o second_o as_o may_v be_v see_v since_o the_o four_o century_n it_o be_v needful_a at_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o discourse_n to_o give_v the_o reader_n this_o short_a draught_n of_o the_o country_n that_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o gallia_n to_o give_v he_o a_o idea_n of_o that_o part_n of_o they_o where_o we_o intend_v to_o show_v

the_o romish_a party_n and_o indeed_o though_o the_o visigothe_n who_o cut_v off_o these_o province_n from_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o afterward_o the_o french_a who_o destroy_v the_o visigothe_n in_o the_o time_n of_o clovis_n make_v very_o great_a change_n in_o this_o division_n of_o gallia_n narbonensis_n and_o aquitain_n yet_o we_o may_v exact_o observe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o these_o

a_o province_n of_o the_o lesser_a asia_n as_o the_o learned_a petavius_n acknowledge_v other_o have_v believe_v that_o st._n paul_n himself_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o these_o province_n as_o he_o

in_o question_n relate_v to_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o diocese_n 2._o because_o the_o abbot_n of_o foncaud_n who_o be_v the_o relator_n be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a actor_n his_o abbey_n be_v in_o the_o diocese_n of_o narbon_n 3._o because_o this_o conference_n with_o some_o other_o serve_v as_o a_o prologue_n to_o the_o cruelty_n exercise_v against_o the_o albigenses_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o her_o minister_n have_v already_o make_v use_n of_o these_o way_n of_o sweetness_n before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o extremity_n of_o a_o crusade_n which_o interrupt_v their_o other_o project_n towards_o greece_n and_o the_o holy-land_n it_o follow_v clear_o from_o hence_o that_o according_a to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o bishop_n the_o albigenses_n can_v be_v more_o just_o accuse_v of_o manicheism_n than_o the_o vaudois_n concern_v who_o he_o pretend_v that_o the_o abbot_n of_o foncaud_n speak_v i_o can_v imagine_v how_o the_o bishop_n can_v answer_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n except_o only_o by_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v mistake_v and_o pretend_v that_o this_o conference_n be_v hold_v with_o some_o of_o the_o vaudois_n who_o have_v flee_v into_o the_o diocese_n of_o narbon_n and_o have_v so_o considerable_o propagate_v their_o doctrine_n there_o that_o a_o public_a dispute_n be_v judge_v necessary_a to_o stop_v the_o progress_n of_o it_o but_o 1_o sy_n it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n to_o make_v themselves_o more_o considerable_a than_o the_o petrobusian_o and_o the_o henrician_n with_o who_o we_o know_v that_o the_o diocese_n of_o aquitain_n and_o narbon_n be_v already_o fill_v according_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o enemy_n 2_o dly_z be_v it_o so_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o suppose_v that_o bernard_n archbishop_n of_o narbon_n who_o die_v the_o second_o of_o october_n 1191_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o stop_v the_o progress_n of_o

petrobusian_o and_o henrician_n 3_o dly_z it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o suppose_v against_o the_o credit_n of_o all_o historian_n that_o the_o vaudois_n compose_v a_o distinct_a body_n from_o the_o albigenses_n who_o as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o clear_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v no_o vaudois_n that_o have_v church_n and_o that_o make_v a_o distinct_a body_n 4_o thly_a neither_o do_v we_o find_v that_o the_o cruel_a inquisition_n make_v any_o such_o like_a distinction_n about_o this_o matter_n in_o use_v more_o or_o less_o cruelty_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o schism_n and_o heresy_n as_o it_o be_v pretend_v they_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o case_n they_o will_v act_v just_o but_o whatever_o answer_v the_o bishop_n may_v invent_v to_o defend_v his_o opinion_n we_o have_v a_o sure_a way_n to_o overthrow_v it_o without_o remedy_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o which_o he_o himself_o have_v furnish_v we_o with_o for_o he_o own_v that_o the_o conference_n of_o 1206_o mention_v by_o the_o monk_n of_o vaux_n cernay_n be_v a_o conference_n with_o the_o vaudois_n beside_o 222._o that_o which_o bernard_n abbot_n of_o foncaud_n have_v set_v down_o we_o have_v another_o say_v he_o in_o peter_n of_o vaux_n cernay_n about_o the_o year_n 1206_o where_o the_o vaudois_n be_v confound_v now_o all_o man_n know_v that_o the_o conference_n of_o 1206_o be_v hold_v with_o the_o
