Sect. 4. For to exterminate these Hereticks (as they were then stiled) Pope Innocent the Third published his Croisados, granting plenary remis∣sion of sins to all Persons that would go to this holy War, and destroy them. Great Kings, potent Princes, and noble Lords, are all invited, comman∣ded and animated to persecute them; and in case of neglect on their part, they themselves are reputed Favourers and Upholders of them, and are ex∣posed to the Thunderbolts of Papal Excommunications, and to be deprived of their Crowns, Kingdoms, Dominions and Lives. Thus were the King of Arragon, the Counts of Tolouse, Beziers, and Carcassone served, who were all cut off by those prodigious Armies mustered up against them. They and many Myriads of their Subjects together with them, are most horribly butcher'd and destroyed by the Croisado-Pilgrims.
