exemplum, si aliquis homo suspendebatur in aliquo arbore, semper illa
arbor amicis suspensi et parentibus esset odiosa et eam vituperarent,
et nunquam illam arborem videre vellent, a simili locum in quo Deus,
quem diligere debemus, suspensus fuit, odio habere debeamus et nunquam
deberemus ejus presenciam affectare.’

Waldenses, from Documents_ (London, 1870), p. 1. Other origins of the
term Waldenses have been suggested: (1) Vaux or valleys of Piedmont,
where the sect came to flourish most, (2) Peter of Vaux, a predecessor
of Waldo.
