ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Satires from The Age Reviewed. Waudois is a clearly defined version of the many diverse patois which existed between Provence and Piedmont’, and was the dialect in which Waldensian texts are said to be written. The Inquisition was originally instituted by Pope Gregory IX to deal with heresy from the Catholic faith. The King’s Bench was, no doubt, intended for a benevolent institution. But nothing has been more diabolically abused. It is the source of many a broken heart, and of many beggared families. Notwithstanding the usury laws, it is well known that usury still subsists in all its direful realities. Jews and Christians are alike sharers of this griping practice. Every Catholic is Bound by his creed to undermine the church and state of the Protestants. Attributing the distresses of Ireland to the ‘slavery of the Roman Catholics’, is one of the artful resources of the worshippers of the ‘Great Whore’.
