after continuing in this office near three years, was forced 
to quit it, in 1544, on account of fojme particular opinions 
which he held concerning the fcriptures. He retired to 
Bafil, where he was made Greek profeffior, and died there 
101564, aged forty-eight. He incurred the difpleafure of 
Calvin and Theodore Beza, for differing from them con¬ 
cerning predeftination and the punifhment of heretics. His 
works are very conliderable both on account of their qua¬ 
lity and number. In 1545, he printed at Bald four books 
of dialogues, containing the principal hiftories of the Bible 
in elegant Latin ; fo that youth might thereby make a pro¬ 
ficiency in piety and in the Latin tongue at the fame time. 
But his principal work is a Latin and French tranfiation 
of the fcriptures. He began the Latin tranfiation at Ge¬ 
neva in 1542, and finilhed it at Bafil in 1550. It was 
pirinted at Bal’d in 1551, and dedicated to Edward VI. 
king of England. The French verfion was dedicated to 
Henry II: of France, and printed at Bafil in 1555. The 
-fault which has been mod generally condemned in his Latin 
tranfiation, is the affedtation of tiling only claffical terms.
