our Holy Reformed Religion: I have seen a piece of his concerning the Church: what other Works were published by him, I am sorry that I cannot inform my Reader of them.
2. Monsieur Michael le Faucheur was also born of godly Parents in the same City of Geneva, and recieved into the Holy Ministry in the Pro∣vincial Synod of Vivaretz, and presented by that grave Assembly to the Pastoral Office in the Church of Annonay, though he was then but eighteen Years of Age; and Annonay was a Church of no mean Consideration; but what he wanted in Years, he made up in Merit. In the Year 1612, he was removed to the Church of Montpellier, in which he served full twenty Years: He was one of the Scribes in the National Synod held the first time at Charenton, 1623. The Parliament of Tholouse having made a Decree, that no Foreigner should be a Minister, or preach within their Jurisdiction, in the Year 1632. he came to Paris, and sollicited the Court for his Restoration: He had in that City a Brother very rich, and one who followed the Law. Whilst he resided here, the University of Lan∣sanna in Switzerland, earnestly invited him to be Professor of Theology in it, but he very civilly declined that Motion, though he was a most ac∣complish'd Scholar and Divine. In the Year 1636, a Franciscan Friar, who was the great Favourite of Cardinal Richelieu, and of his Cabinet-Council, meeting him in an Apothecary's Shop in St. James's Street, de∣manded his Name, and he telling him who he was, and the Reason for which he was driven away from Montpellier, he bespoke him; Monsieur Faucheur, do you tarry here, and preach at Charenton, and I will ingage my Word for it, that the King shall never trouble you. He communi∣cating this Relation to his Brother, his Brother communicated it unto the Elders of that Church, who discoursing with him, intreated him to preach the next Lord's Day in their Temple, which he did, to their and the Churches very great Satisfaction: And here he continued in their Service, preaching and dispensing the Word and Sacraments among them unto the Day of his Death.
3. Monsieur Amyraut, of him I shall speak in the Catalogue of the Churches and Ministers hung upon the File in the last National Synod, where my Reader will meet with a Multitude of Remarks upon the Pa∣stors that were then actually imployed in the Service of those-once flourish∣ing Churches.
