he vifited Geneva, where Calvin gave him the title of 
the Father of the Reformed Church in that place. In 
1542, a profpecf offering of planting a reformed church 
at Metz, he went to that city, where he gained numerous 
profelytes. From this/place Farel returned to his former 
flock at Neufchatel, to whofe fervice he devoted his fu¬ 
ture labours. In 1564 he went again to Geneva, to take 
his laft leave of Calvin, who was dangeroufly ill ; and in 
the followingyear took a journey to Metz. A few months 
after his return, he died at Neufchatel, in 1565, when he 
was about feventy-fix years of age. He was a man of a 
bold and undaunted fpirit, whom no difficulties could 
appal, no threatenings or perfonal incanveniencies and 
hazard's deter, from propagating what he confidered to be 
the principles of chriftian tru th and liberty. His flock of 
learning and knowledge was very refpedtable ; his piety 
was ardent ; and his moral conduct unimpeachable and 
exemplary. He po defied a powerful commanding voice, 
and a wonderful fluency of language, which peculiarly 
qualified him for a popular pulpit orator. Hence his la¬ 
bours produced aftonifhing eft'edls, and entitle him to the 
honour of being one of the moft fuccefsful inftruments, 
as well as one of the firft moving caufes, of eftablifliing 
and promoting the reformed religion. His writings con- 
lifted of fome Thefes, publiffied at Bafil, in the Latin 
and German languages; Difputatio Berna Habita, 1528;

FAR'IA DE SOUSA (Emanuel), a Portuguefe, diftin- 
guifhed by his writings, born at Scuto, in the province of 
Entre Minho y Douro, in 1590. In 1604 he was made 
fecretary to Goncalode Moraes, bifhop of Porto ; but he 
could not prevail upon him to devote himfelf to the 
church. In 1619 he entered into the fervice of P. A.. 
Pereira, the king’s fecretary of ftate at Madrid, through 
whofe means he was raifed to the dignity of the order of 
Chrift, in Portugal. In 1631 lie went to Rome, as fecre¬ 
tary to the ambaflador, the marquis del Caftel Rodrigo, 
who however gave fo unfavourable an account of him to 
the court of Spain, that on his return to Barcelona in 
1643, he was arrefted and kept in clofe confinement four 
months. Though he made his innocence appear in fo clear 
a light that the king himfelf acknowledged it, and on that 
account allowed him fixty ducats per month for liisfupport; 
he was ftill obliged to remain at Madrid, where he was 
narrowly watched. He died in 1649. He wrote An Epi¬ 
tome of the Hiftory of Portugal, which comes down to the 
reign of cardinal Henry. It has been feveral times re¬ 
printed ; and to the edition of 1730, folio, is added a con¬ 
tinuation to the reigning kings. Alfo, a geographical 
work, entitled Portuguefe Europe, Afia, and Africa, 
publifhed after his death in feven volumes folio. The 
moft valuable part of this is the Afia Portugueza, which 
contains a full detail of the conquefts and fettlements of 
his nation in that part of the globe, and has been conli- 
dered as faithful and exadt. Belides two Portuguefe edi¬ 
tions, in 1666 and 1674, it has been tranllated into feveral 
modern languages. Others of his works are, Moral and

Naples in 1705. He received the principal part of his

age of feventeen he went firft to Rome, where in an opera 
lie contended with his voice againft an extraordinary per¬ 
former on the trumpet, and by means of his wonderful 
powers obtained fo decided a victory, that it eftablifhed 
his fuperiority over all fingers of the time. Hedifplayed
