Ar'na (Lat. Arna, for the Greek text is not ex- tant), a name given as the father of Marinoth and son of Ozias, in the genealogy of Ezra (2 [Vulg. 4] Esdr. i, 2) ; evidently meaning the Zerahiah (q. v.) of the genuine list (Ezra vii, 3).
Arnald, Richard, M.A., a divine of the Church of England, born in London about 1G96(?); entered Benedict College, Cambridge, 1714 ; became fellow of Emanuel College, Cambridge, 1720; afterward rector of Marcaston, Leicestershire, where he died in 1756.

Ar'nan (Heb. Arnan' , "3"1X, nimble ; Sept. 'Oqvo), the great-grandson of Zerubbabel (1 Chron. iii, 21). He is probably the same with Christ's maternal ances- tor Joanna, in Luke iii, 27 (see Strong's Harmony and Exposition, p. 17). B.C. considerably post 536.
Arnaud, Henri, pastor and military leader of the Vaudois, was born at La Tour, in Piedmont, 1611. His early history is obscure, but he is said to have been a soldier before entering the ministry among the per- secuted Vaudois. In 1G89 he led his people in their efforts to recover their native land and their right to worship God in peace. William III of England gave him a colonel's commission, and he served with great distinction, at the head of 1200 Vaudois, under Marl- borough. When his people were exiled in 1698, he became their pastor at Schonberg, and died there in 1721. In this retirement he wrote the history of his

The French edition of this work is very rare ; it has been translated into English, under the title The glorious Recovery by the Vaudois of their Valleys, trans, by H. D. Ackland (Lond. 1827, 8vo).

Amauld, Angelique, abbess of Port-Royal, a daughter of Robert Arnauld d'Andilly, was born 28th Novembr, 1621. From her earliest years she exhib- ited an extraordinary force and resoluteness of char- acter, and excited much anxious speculation concern- ing her future career among her relatives. When not quite twenty years of age she became a nun at Port- Royal des Champs, where she had been educated by her aunt, Marie Jaqueline Angelique Arnauld, sister of the great Arnauld. Nine years after she was made sub-prioress ; and on removing some j'ears later to Port-Royal de Paris, she held the same office. During the persecution of the Port-Royalists, Angelique, by her piety and courage, sustained the spirit of the sister- hood. The whole family, male and female, were de- termined Jansenists, and none more so than Mere An- gelique de St. Jean (her conventual name). She had much to endure, but she met misfortune with earnest intrepidity. A royal order was issued to break up the nunnery. Ths police arrested the inmates, who were dispersed in various convents throughout France, and constant efforts were made by the Jesuits to induce them to sign the "Formulary of Alexander VII." Angelique was alone exempted from listening to their arguments and solicitations, her "obstinacy" being supposed invincible. At length, by command of the Archbishop of Paris, the nuns were restored to Port- Royal des Champs ; but for some years they were sub- jected to a strict surveillance by soldiers, who watch- ed all their movements, and allowed them no inter- course with persons out of the convent. In 1669, how- ever, was issued the edict of Clement IX for the peace of the church, which was a kind of compromise on this vexed question of Jansenism and Jesuitism. The nuns received back the privileges of which they had baen stripped, and constituted their society anew. An- gelique was again elected prioress. In 1G78 she was made abbess. The next year her protectress, the Duchcsse de Longueville, died, and the persecution re- commenced by the prohibition to receive any more novices. Still Angelique did not despair. She con- soled the nuns, and exerted all her influence with per- sons in power, but with little effect. At last she sank under a complication of griefs, and expired on the 29th of January, 1684, leaving behind her as bright and beautiful a memory as any of her countrywomen. She was learned without being pedantic, pious without bigotry, and gentle to others in proportion as she was severe to herself. Angelique wrote several works. Of these, one, perhaps the most valuable work relative to Port-Royal, is entitled Memoires pour servir a VHis- toire de Port-Royal, it a la Vie de la Reverende Mere Mark Angelique de Sainte Magdelevne Arnauld, Re- • de ce Monastere (Utrecht, 1712, 12mo, 3 vols.). While the Memoires of Da Foss6, Fontaine, and Lancelot detail the external history of Port-Royal, these Memoires represent its internal history, with the mind and habits of its members, particularly of the elder Angelique. The Memoires were edited" by Bar- beau de la Bruyere in 1712. The originals, from which Barbeau de la Bruyere printed the Memoires, were preserved in the library of Saint Germain des Pres at Paris. Angelique also took a great part in the com- position of the Necrohge de Port-Royal des Champs (Amst. 172:'., 4 to), and wrote other works in defence of the monastery. — Memoires pour servir a V Histoire de
