man work in rliyme, entitled Zeitverireih, desijijned to satirize the fanaticism, the folly, and vices of the day. Mr. Henkel adhered with great tenacity to the stand- ards and usages of his Church. In the earlier part of his ministry he approved of some of the alterations made by Blelancthon in the Augsburg Confession, but at a later period his doctrinal position Avas the unaltered Confession. As a preacher he had more than ordinary l)owcr. He educated a large number of candidates for the ministry, who have occupied responsible positions in the Lutheran Church. His habits of life were plain and simple, and, although ojiposed to everything that looked like ostentation in the discharge ol' his official duties, he invariably wore his clerical robes. In person he was large and well formed, measuring nearly six feet in height. Five of his sons became ministers in the Lu- theran Church. Towards the close of his life he was attacked with paralysis, and died November 17, 1825. (M. L. S.)
Hennepin, Louis, a Recollect missionary and trav- eller, was born m Flanders about 1640. In 1G75 he was sent to Canada, and in 1G78 started to accompany the traveller Lasalle. He founded a convent at Fort Catar- acuuy. and ;vith two other monks followed Lasalle in his tour among the Canadian lakes in 1G79. Lasalle sent him, in 1G80, with another person named Dacan, to find the sources of the IMississippi. They followed the stream up to the 40^ lat. north, but were stopped by a fall which Hennepin called Sault de St. Antoine de Padoue. He Mas then for eight months a prisoner among the Sioux, but was liberated by the French, and retunied to Quebec April 5, 1682. After his return to Europe he was for a while keeper of the convent of Eenty, in Ar- tois, and finally retired to Holland. The date of his death is not ascertained. Hennepin disparaged the Jesiuts as missionaries, and was, in turn, disparaged by the Jesuit Charlevoix. He wrote DcscrijMon de la Loiiisinne, etc., gvec la cai-te dupays, les mmns et la ma- nure de vicre des saiivacjes (Paris, 1683 and 1688, 12mo ; 1688, 4to): — Nouvelle Decourerle dhtn ires rp-and jwys sitve da?is rAmerique, entre le Noureau Mexique et la mer Glaciale, avcc caries, etc., et les avantages que Von en pent tii-erpar Vetahlissement des colonies (Utrecht, 1697, 12mo ; and in the Recueil des Voyarjes au Kord, vol. ix, etc.) : — Nonveau Voyage dans tin pays, etc., depiiis 1679 jusqu'a 1682, arec les reflexions suj- les entrepiises du sieur Lasalle (Utrecht, 1698, 12mo; Recueil des Voyages au Nord, vol. v, 1734).

Henoticon (Greek, h'loriKov, uniting into one), the name given to a " Decree of Union" issued bj' the Greek emperor Zeno, A.D. 482, by the advice of Acacius, bish- op of Constantinople, with a view to reconcile the Mono- physites and the orthodox to the profession of one faith. It recognised the Xicene and Constantinopolitan creeds, but did not name the decrees of Chalcedon. It thus re- quired a sacrifice of opinion on the part of the INIono- physites; but, at the same time, it deprived the ortho- dox of tlie advantages they had gained at the Council of Chalcedon. The Roman patriarch, Felix II, con- demned it in 483, and in 518 it was suppressed. — Mos- heim, Church Hist. cent, v, pt. ii, ch. v, § 19. The He-

Henry of Ghent {Henricus de Gandavo: proper name Goethals), a theologian of the 13th century. He was born at Ghent in 1217, studied at the University of Paris, and was a pupil of Albertus Magnus. Admitted to kctme at the SorLonne, he acquired great dis-tinction as a teacher of philosophy and theology, and obtained the surname of Doctor Solemnis. "He was endowed with great sagacity of understanding, attached to the system of the KcElists, and blended Uie ideas of Plato with the formularies of Aristotle : attributing to the first a real existence independent of the divine Intelli- gence. He suggested some new opinions in psycholo- gy, and detected many tpeculative errors, withou't, how- ever, suggesting corrections for them, owing to the faultiness of the method of the jjhilosophy of Lis time" (Tennemann). Henry became canon, and aftcr^vards archdeacon of Tournay, and died there A.D. 1293. His writings are, Quodlibeta in iv Lihb. Sententiarum (Paris, 1518, fol. reprinted, with commentary by Zuccoli, 1613, 2 vols, fols.): — iSumma Theologiie (Paris, 1520, fol.): — De Scriptor. Ecclesiasticis (in Fabricius, Bibl. Eccl.).
