Upon the Count of Toulouse and others, who had formerly heard them preach what was contrary to the Christian faith, hearing this statement from them, being struck with the greatest astonishment, and inflamed with zeal for the Christian faith, they arose and most clearly convicted them to their faces of having lied; saying that they had heard from some of them that there were two Gods, the one good and the other bad, the good one having only made things invisible and which cannot be changed or corrupted, the bad one, the heavens, the earth, man and the other things visible. Others again affirmed that they had heard at their preaching, that the body of Christ was not made by the administration of a priest who was unworthy, or who had been convicted of any crime. Others again said that they had heard from them that baptism was of no use to infants, and the utterance of numerous other blasphemies against God and the Holy Church, and the Catholic faith, which, by reason of their abominable enormity, it is better to be silent upon than to disclose.

They also advised them, as they had been excommunicated by our Lord, the Pope, and the before-named cardinal, and the Archbishops of Bourges and Narbonne, and the Bishop of Toulouse, on account of their perverse preaching and schism, to come to be reconciled to the Catholic faith, according to the forms prescribed by the Church. This, however, being warped into tortuous ways, and hardened by abandoned habits, they refused to do, on which the said cardinal, and the above-mentioned Bishops, together with the before-named Bishop of Poitiers, and the other religious men who had assisted them throughout, in the sight of the whole people, with lighted candles again denounced
