Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLAUDE, JEAN (1619-1687) , French
Protestant
  divine, was born at La Sauvetat-du-Dropt near
Agen
 . After studying at
Montauban
 , he entered the ministry in 1645. He was for eight years professor of theology in the
Protestant
  college of Nimes; but in 1661, having successfully opposed a
scheme
  for re-uniting Catholics and Protestants, he was forbidden to preach in Lower
Languedoc
 . In 1662 he obtained a post at
Montauban
  similar to that which he had lost; but after four years he was removed from this also. He next became pastor at Charenton near Paris, where he engaged in controversies with Pierre
Nicole
  (Reponse aux deux traites intitules la perpetuite de la foi, 1665),
Antoine
  Arnauld (Reponse au livre de M. Arnauld, 1670), and J. B. Bossuet (Reponse au livre de M. t'eveque de Meaux, 1683).
On the revocation of the edict of Nantes he fled to Holland, and received a pension from William of Orange, who commissioned him to write an account of the persecuted Huguenots (Plaintes des protestants cruellement opprimes clans le royaume de France, 1686). The book was translated into English, but by order of James II. both the
translation
  and the
original
  were publicly burnt by the common hangman on the 5th of May 1686, as containing " expressions scandalous to His Majesty the king of France." Other works by him were Reponse au livre de P. Nouet sur l'eucharistie (1668); Euvres posthumes (Amsterdam, 1688), containing the Traite de la composition d'un sermon, translated into English in 1778.
