opposition to the proper authority of the apostolical .' Dnpin afterwards met with trouble under the ency on account of the correspondence which he d with Dr. Wake, archbishop of Canterbury, which 1 for its object the formation of a union between the arch of England and the Church of France. Du-
drew up a Commottiiorium, and discussed in it the irty-nhie Articles. He insisted on the necessity of dition, on the infallibility of the Church in faith 1 morals, and contended that the sacrifice of the Bs was not a simple sacrament, but a continuation he sacrifice of the cross. The word transubstenti- m he seemed willing to give up if the Boman Cath- ; doctrine, intended to be expressed by it, were re- led. He proposed that communion under both ds, or under bread alone, should be left to the dis- tion of the dififerent churches, and consented that BODS in holy orders should retain their state, with h provisions as would place the validity of their ination beyond exception. The ma^iage of priesto the countries in which such marriages were al- ed, and the recitation of the divine service in the gar tongue, he allowed ; and intimated that no dif- ilty would be found in the ultimate settlement of
doctrine respecting purgatory, indulgences, the leration of sainto, relics, or images. He seems to 'e thou^t that the pope can exercise no immediate, isdiction within the dioceses of bishops, and that primacy invested him with no more than a general servation of the deposit of the faith, a right to en- » the observance of the sacred canons, and the gen- l maintenance of discipline. He allowed, in gen- l terms, that there was little substantially wrong he discipline of the Church of England; he depre- id. all discussion on the original merit of reforma- 1, and he professed to see no use in the pope's inter- ition tUl the basis of the negotiation should be set- l" (Hook, Ecdes, Bioffraphy, iv, 612 sq.).

Du PleBsia-Momay (Philippe de Mornat), a stetesman and controvertist, and one of the most eminent French Protestante in the latter pait of the- 16th century, was bom at Buhy, Nov. 6, 1549. His father, James de Momay, was a zealous Roman Cath- olic, but his mother, who inclined to the Protestant doctrines, gave her son a tutor who held the same views. His father, to counteract this influence, sent him in 1567 to the college of Lisieux, but died in 1669. Philip #as now called home to his mother, who had openly embraced the cause of the Beformation. After completing his studies, he visited Italy and Germany firom 1666 to 1572. On his return he addressed a me- moir to admiral Coligny on the steto of the Nether- lands, and the expediency of a French expedition in that country. Coligny, struck by the memoir, con- templated sending the author on a mission to the prince of Orange, but in the massacre of St. Barthol- omew, in August, 1572, the admiral was murdered. Momay, saved by a Roman Catholic, fled to England, where he was well received. He, however, returned to France in the following year, and took an active part in the efforto made by the Protestante to strength- en their cause by connecting it with that of the duke of Alen^on. At Sedan he married Charlotte Arbaleste de Feuqui^res, Jan. 8, 1676, and atteched himself to the king of Navarre, who sent him on divers missions to England and Flanders. After his retum to France (1682) he took part in the national synod of yitr6, where be proposed a general union of the Protestant churches of France, which proved unsuccessful, but yet greatiy increased his consideration among the French Protestants.' " From that time until his mas- ter ascended the throne of France,*' say Messrs. Haag, *' Momay was the chief man in his councils ; he ren- dered him important services as a skilful warrior, a good administrator, a deep politician, and an indefati- gable writer. If there was help to be asked from Protestant nations, or explanations to be given to for- eign princes of the sometimes doubtfkil conduct of Henry, it was Momay who drew up the instructions of the envoys when he was not sent himself. When churches had to complain of the non-execution of edicto, it was Momay who had to draw up the account of thdr grievances. In short, nothing was done with- out him." One of his most hnportent acte was his bringing about, in 1689, a reconciliation between Henry III and the king of Navarre. He was rewarded for this service by being appointed governor of Saumur. A short time after, Henry III was assassinated. Mor- nay then joined the king at Tours, and fought vallantiy at Ivry. Henry appointed him one of his councillors, but, as he foresaw that he would be obliged to become a Romanist, the zeal of Momay for Protestantism was now troublesome to him. He still used him, however, as his chief agent with the Protestents and with the foreign powers. Momay thought this a fevorable time- to renew his attempto at conciliating the different Protestant churches among themselves, and even with
