Volume 6 · 71 words · 1860 Edition

Pierre, the author of a book on Wisdom, and Les Trois Vérités, was born at Paris in 1541. After having been advocate in the parliament of Paris for five or six years, he applied himself to divinity, and became so popular a preacher, that the bishops of several dioceses offered him the highest dignities in their gift. He died suddenly in the street at Paris, on the 16th of November 1603.
