In 1617 he wrote in defense of his fHend the bishop of Poitiers, who had been blamed for heading the troops sent a^piiinst the Protestants. After going to Paris, where he carried on an extensive correspond- ence with Jansenius, who had returned to Louvain, and continuing to apply himself still more to the study of the fathers, especially of St. Augustine, he was called to England by Henrietta of France, wife of Cliarles I.
