DULLES, dul'ez, JOSEPH HEATLY: Presbyterian; b. at Philadelphia, Pa., May 27, 1853. He was educated at Princeton College (B. A., 1873) and Princeton Theological Seminary, from which he was graduated in 1877. After pastoral service at home (1877-83) and travel and study in Europe (1883-85), he became librarian of Princeton Theological Seminary (1886). He is a member of the American Historical Association, honorary secretary of the Palestine Exploration Fund for New Jersey, an editor of the Princeton Theological Review. In theology he is a conservative. He compiled the general catalogue of Princeton Theological Seminary (Philadelphia, 1894) and James McCosh bibliography (Princeton, 1895), and edited the proceedings of William Henry Green's jubilee as instructor in Princeton Theological Seminary, contributing Professor Green's bibliography (New York, 1896).

DU MOULIN, diimu'lah', CHARLES: French jurist; b. in Paris 1500; d. there Dec. 27, 1566. He became an advocate in 1522, but gave up pleading because of a defect of speech. He joined the Reformed congregation in 1542. Later he became famous as a consulting lawyer. In 1551 he published his Commentaire sur I'Edit des petites dates to show that Henry II. was right in forbidding the exportation of gold and silver from his kingdom to Rome. The argument was effective, and the pope dropped the question so far as Henry was concerned, but he had the author tried for heresy. This resulted in the flight of Du Moulin; and from this time till his death he was pursued by the Roman Church, being forced to move from one place to another. Finally he returned to Paris, where he was prevailed upon to publish his Conseil sur le fait du Concile de Trente (Lyons, 1564). The book was condemned and Du Moulin was imprisoned; but he was afterward released through the efforts of Jeanne d'Albret.

DU MOULIN, PIERRE (Molinaus) : Celebrated preacher, professor, organizer, and controversialist of the French Reformed Church; b. at the chateau of Buhyin, Normandy (department of Seineet-Oise), Oct. 18, 1568; d. at Sedan Mar. 10, 1658. His father, Joachim du Moulin, a Protestant preacher, after the Third Religious War took refuge at Buhy, which belonged to the family of Du Plessis- Mornay, and Pierre was born in the same room as Philippe du Plessis-Mornay (q.v.). After St. Bartholomew's Night (Aug. 24, 1572) the family, then settled at Soissons, was again obliged to flee, and, under the protection of the duke of Bouillon, reached Sedan. Here Pierre began his studies in the academy. In 1588 his father took him to Paris, and, declaring that he could no longer support his son, left with him twelve gulden in his purse. Paris not being safe at the time, Pierre went to England and spent four years in London, where he ultimately became tutor to the young

dukes of Rutland. He accompanied his pupils to Cambridge and Oxford and heard lectures in theology and philosophy from Whitaker and Reynolds. His maiden sermon at the Huguenot Church of London was a success. In 1592 he went to Holland and became, first, lecturer on ancient languages, then professor of philosophy and Greek in the University of Leyden. He lived in Scaliger's house and had Hugo Grotius among his pupils. In 1598, after dedicating to the hospitable Leyden university a Panegyricus Batavia, he returned to France, and in December was ordained at Gien where his father was then living. In March, 1599 he became minister of the Reformed congregation at Charenton, where he remained twenty-one years faithful in danger and noted for eloquence. Catherine of Bourbon, sister of Henry IV. and wife of Duke Henry of Bar (a Roman Catholic), made him her chaplain, and he spent two months of each year with her at her residence in Lorraine. Perhaps his greatest celebrity was gained by his controversies both with Roman Catholics and Calvinists. Noteworthy among the former were (1) those with Palma-Cayet (1602), who tried to convert Catherine to Roman Catholicism (cf. Narre de la conference verbale et par escrit tenue entre M. P du Moulin et M. Cayet par Archibald Adair, gentilhomme ecossais (Geneva, 1625); (2) with De Beaulieu about the mass and the doctrine of the Church; (3) with the Jesuit P. Coton concerning the teachings and morals of the Jesuits (1606-07); (4) with the priests Gontier (1610) and Coeffeteau (1625) on transubstantiation (see list of works below). His principal controversies with Reformed theologians were (1) with D. Tilenus, professor at Sedan, on the ubiquitas corporis Christi ; (2) with the Arminians, against whom he wrote his Anatome Arminianismi (Leyden, 1619); (3) against Amyraut and his school. By invitation of James I. of England he went to London in 1615, promising his Paris congregation to return in three months, and James proposed to him to attempt to unite all Protestants. Shortly after his return a Jesuit, Arnoux, preached before King Louis XIII., maintaining that the Scripture passages on which the Calvinist creed was founded were wrongly interpreted. In reply Du Moulin produced his two most celebrated works, La Defense de la religion chretienne and Le Bouclier de la foy (Charenton, 1617; Eng. transl. of the latter, The Buckler of the Faith ; or, A Defense of the Confession of Faith of the Reformed Churches in France, London, 1620; 3d ed., 1631). This controversy exasperated both parties and Du Moulin had to flee to Sedan, where he became pastor, professor, and tutor of the young duke of Bouillon. His oldest son, Pierre du Moulin (b. at Paris Apr. 24, 1601; d. at Canterbury, England, Oct. 10, 1684), lived in England, and died as chaplain to Charles II. and prebendary of Canterbury. He wrote a number of theological tracts.

The most important of the elder Du Moulin's numerous writings, not already mentioned, were: Defense de la foi catholique contenue au livre du roi Jacques I, contre la reponse de Coeffeteau (La Rochelle, 1604); Apologie pour la Sainte Cene du Seigneur, contre la presence corporelle ou transsub-
