Annotatio IV §.XVII open: Ages XII–XIII+ — Waldenses first Reformers against Innocent’s Transubstantiation
§.XVII: in Ages XII and XIII and after, the famous Waldenses steadily rejected papal life and doctrine — above all Transubstantiation fixed by Innocent III.
For that they hold a chief place among Christian-truth witnesses and deserve to be called the Roman Church’s first Reformers.
Latin
§. XVII. Sicuti verò SECULO XII, ita non minus XIII, & seqq. famosissimi Waldenses tàm vitàm, quàm doctrinam papalem, maximè de Transsubstantiatione, Innocentii III. auctoritate stabilitam, constanter & fortiter improbarunt, ut hoc nomine non præcipuum duntaxat locum inter veritatis Christianæ testes teneant, sed & primi Ecclesiæ Romanæ Reformatores dici mereantur.
