Chassanee gravely tells us there was also a _church_ built by the
_Franks_ at Chartres before the advent of Christ, in honor of the most
blessed Virgin _pariturae_; "from which it is demonstrated that, if other
Gentiles prophesied _in word_ concerning Christ, the Franks believed on
him _in deed_, just as also the Greeks, who erected a temple to the
unknown God." Ibid., _ubi supra_.]

[Footnote 122: The Manichaeism of the Albigenses is maintained by
Mosheim, Gieseler, Schmidt, etc. A good summary of the evidence in favor
of this view is given in an article in the London Quarterly Review for
April, 1855. The defence of the Albigenses from this serious charge is
