The Waldenses were time out of mind in Italy and Dalmatia, and were the offspring of the Novatianists, who were persecuted and driven from Rome, A. D. 413; and who, for purity in communion, were called puritans. That they stood in direct line with the Montanists, Tertullianists, Novatians, Donatists, Paulicians, and Montenses, is unquestionable. Their claim that they originated with the apostles has never been successfully disputed.

About 1400 a severe persecution broke out. A shameful outrage was perpetrated upon the Waldenses located in the valley of Pragela in Piedmont, by the Catholics of that vicinity. Towards the end of December, when the mountains were covered with snow, these peaceable inhabitants were furiously attacked, driven from their homes, and pursued into the cold and desolate mountains, where many perished from hunger and cold.

Baptist churches were started by Christ.

Colossians 1:18
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Christ is the head of every biblical church. And every biblical church is independent.

Baptist churches have existed since the time of Christ.

The Baptists Lineage Goes Back to Christs 1st Church
Being Baptist Documentary Excerpt

A History of the Baptists (Philadelphia: The Judson Press, 1950), 35 contains this striking subordinate clause:

“…when Zwingli became reluctant to continue his Anabaptist teaching…”

THERE WERE already anabaptists before Zwingly

"Fraternal relations between Baptists and Nazis extended beyond the BWA meeting. Although German Baptists suffered persecution for 100 years before Hitler's rise, Nazis used the police to protect Baptists from harassment and granted them favorable locations for ministry. Baptist evangelistic work expanded under the Nazi government, and when the Gestapo forced Pentecostal and Plymouth Brethren denominations to disband, some of their congregations joined the German Baptist Union, swelling its membership."

Baptist History: Inroduction To The Cathares Cathari

The Lollard Prince

This piece, composed in a style inspired by the use of such instruments as the taglharpa, jouhikko, and nyckelharpa, is titled "The Lollard Prince".

This is in reference to the leader of the Lollard movement in mid to late 14th century England: John Wycliffe. This man was a scholar, a prolific author (whom some credit with essentially inventing English literature), and a religious giant, whose works pervaded the whole world and influenced the later period of the Reformation in no small degree.

He advocated the separation of church and state, adherence to the Bible and the Bible only as the rule of faith, salvation by grace through faith alone, confession to God only, and countless other principles which were lost even for ages and ages.

This song calls attention to his work, and challenges us to, like Wycliffe, take up our spiritual armory to do battle against the kingdom of darkness, and shed the light and life of Prince Immanuel on a broken and dying world.
