Lunsfoi'd, Lewis, a Baptist preacher, bom in Strat- ford Co., Va., in 1753, began to preach when seventeen at the Potomac (now Hartwood) Church. Later he travelled in Westmoreland, Northumberland, Lancaster, and all the counties of the northern Virginia Neck, and several churches sprang up as the fruit of his toil ; among others, Nomini and Wicomico. On the estab- lishment of Moratico Church in 1778, he became its pas- tor for life. His sect was much persecuted at the time he was preaching in Richmond Co., and Limsford was arrested, and thereafter tried in vain to get license to preach. He never was ordained, because he thought a Church's call was sufficient. Faithful study in and out of his profession made up for a limited schooling. He died in Essex Co., Va., Oct. 26, 1793.

Lupetino, Fra Baldo, one of the first martyrs to the Frotcstant cause in Italy in the IGth centurj', was born of ancient and noble parents in Albano, and ac- tively propagated the reformed opinions in Venice. On becoming provincial within the Venetian territories of the Franciscan monks (to whose order he had been pre- viously admitted) he urged the young men not to as- sume monastic orders. One of his contemporaries gives the following account of his further career. "After having long preached the Word of God in both the vul- gar languages (the Italian and Sclavonian) in many cit- ies, and defended it by public disputation in several places of celebrity with great applause, he was at last thrown into close prison at Venice by the inquisitor and papal legate. In this condition he continued during nearly twenty years to bear an undaunted testimony to the Gospel of Christ, so that his bonds and doctrine were made known not only to that cit}', but to the whole of Italy, and even to Europe at large, by which means evangelical truth was more widely spread. ... At last this pious man, whom neither threatenings nor promises could move, sealed his doctrine by an undaunted mar- tyrdom, and exchanged the filth and protracted tortures of a prison for a watery grave." See IM'Crie's History of the Reformation in Italy (Phila. 1842), p. 105, 221.
Lupset, TiiojiAS, an English scholar and theolo- gian, was born in London in 1408; was educated at English schools, but took the degree of B.A. in Paris. In 1518 he obtained the chair of rhetoric at Oxford Uni- versity. Later he was secretary to the Italian ambas- sador. On his return he took charge of the education of the natural son of Wolsey in Paris. In 1530 he was appointed prebend of Salisbury'. He died Dec. 27, 1532. Among his works we notice Epistolm Wu-ice, in the Epis- tolm aliquot emdit, Vironim (Bale, 1520) : — Treatise teaching how to die ivdl (1534): — An Exhoi-tation to young Men (1540, 8vo) : — Treatise of Charity (1546, 8vo) : — Rules for a godly Life (London, ICGO).

Xiupus, St. The Koman Catholic Church commem- orates three saints by this name. The most important of them was bom at Toul about the beginning of the 5th century. He ^vas of a good famih', and received a good education. He was afterwards married to Pime- niola, sister of Hilarius, bishop of Aries. Seven years after he abandoned his wife and children, and joined the disciples of St. Honoratus, who were there laying the f(jundations of the afterwards renowned convent of Le- rins. In 426 he returned to IMacon, and was elected to the see of Troyes, and greatly distinguished himself by his learning, both classical and theological. In 429 a council of the bishops of Gaul sent him, together with Germain of Auxerre, to Brittany, to oppose the Pelagian heresy, which was making great progress in that coun- try. In 451, when Attila conquered Troyes, we find the barbarian king in intimate association with the bishop, and in his retreat Attila was accompanied by Lupus as far as the shores of the Rhine. Lupus died, according to tradition, July 29, 479. His most distinguished con- temporaries called him " episcopus ejiiscoporvim," the Jacob of his age, and praised him yjarticularly for his experience and his knowledge in all ecclesiastical mat- ters. We possess only two works of his. One of them is an answer to some canonical questions propounded by Talassius, bishop of Angers, and to be found among the Instrumentu of the Gallia Christiana (vol. iv, col. 39). It contains some interesting information concerning marriage among the clergy. There is, it says, no gen- eral rule on this point: in the churches of Autun and Troyes married deacons are ordained without difficulty ; but those who were single when ordained are not per- V.— Nn
mitted to marry, and a married priest, on losing his wife, cannot marry again. (Comp. Lea, //wtory of Sacerdo- tal Celibacy, p. 84.) His other work is a letter to Apol- linariiis, published in Achery, Spicilegimn, v, 579. See Hist.
