ly went to Paris, where his eloquent and incisive preach- ing gained for him a wide reputation. Becoming chap- lain-in-ordinary to Henry III, he soon joined the Holy League, and in 1583 opposed himself to the king; but the break was onlj' temporary. Kose was made head- master of the College of Navarre, and in 1584 received the bishopric of Senlis. For some time he repressed the expression of any extreme views, but when he de- parted for Paris as member of the Council of the Union, he said publicly that the celestial palm was reserved for the members of the League when they had killed father and mother. Thereafter he was one of the fiercest preachers of his party, and in the contest be- tween Mayenne and the Spanish he was an ardent par- tisan of the latter. He was member of the States-gen- eral in 1593, and rendered important service to the country in opposing the friends of the infanta of Spain, which was all the more remarkable considering his pre- vious attitude towards the Spaniards. After the tri- umph of Henry IV, Rose took refuge in the convent of Val de Beaumont-sur-Oise, but by letters-patent was allowed to retain his bishopric. Continuing his hostil- ity to the king, he was in 1598 arrested and forced to pay a fine of one hundred livres d'or. Kose died at Senlis, March 10, 1602. The celebrated pamphlet en- titled De Jitsta ReijmbliccB Christimice in Reges Impios Authoritate (Paris, 1590; Antwerp, 1592) has been at- tributed to Kose, but its authorship is uncertain.

distinguished for piety and usefulness than elder Rose. He was a pioneer in the cause of tlie circulation of the Bible, temperance, and Sabbath-schools in Suffolk Coun- ty. To the Church and these institutions he devoted the eneri;ies of a powerful and cultured mind. He was a man of large and liberal views, and was read}' to labor for the cause of Christ in all denominations, no Church lines interfering with beneficent actions. He did much in winning souls to Christ by personal effort, always seeming to be in a revival spirit. In his religious ex- perience he knew little of those alternations of hope and despondency which enter into the feelings of many professing Christians. In him there was a harmonious blending of virtues and graces unsullied by any defects. He was wise, yet modest and unassuming; cautious, yet decided and unwavering. His sense of justice was strong and inflexible, but not stern and merciless — fol- lowing the dictates of his Divine Master in a readiness to forgive even the greatest injuries on the first move- ment of repentance on the part of the offender. Every- where, among all classes, he was revered as a man of God, perfect in his day and generation. He was a jwr- fect storehouse of information, not only on all matters pertaining to Ciiurch history, but of Bible doctrines. He died " as a shock of corn cometh in its season," at his home on Rose Hill, July 18, 186G. (W. P. S.)
