(Lewis),** an eminent French Protestant divine, born at Sedan in Champagne about the year 1579. He was author of some learned works; but is chiefly known from the controversy he engaged in with the younger Buxtorf concerning the antiquity of Hebrew points, which Capellas undertook to disprove. His *Critica Sacra* was also an elaborate work, and excited some disputes: he died in 1658, having made an abridgement of his life in his work *De gente Capellarii*.

**CAPELLE,** a town of France, in Picardy, and in the Tierache, eight miles from Guise. It was taken by the Spaniards in 1636; but retaken the year after. E. Long. 3° 59'. N. Lat. 49° 58'.
