AR'NALL (William), a noted political writer in de¬ 
fence of Sir Robert Walpole, was originally an attorney’s 
clerk ; but, being recommended to Walpole, he employed 
him for a courfe of years in writing the Free Briton, and 
other papers in defence of his adminiftration. By the re¬ 
port of the fecret committee, he appears to have received, 
in the fpace of four years, no lefs than 10,997). 6s. 8d. 
out of the treafury for his writings! But, fpending his 
money as fait as it came, and his fupplies flopping on Sir 
Robert’s refignation, he died broken-hearted and in debt, 
in the twenty-fixth year of his age. His invention was fo 
quick, that his honourable employer ufed to fay, no man in 
England could write a pamphlet in fo little time as Arnall.

Arnaud de Villa Nova, a famous phyfician, who 
lived about the end of the thirteenth and beginning of the 
fourteenth century. He ftudied at Paris and Montpelier, 
and travelled through Italy and Spain. He was well ac¬ 
quainted with languages, and particularly with the Greek, 
Hebrew, and Arabic. He was at great pains to gratify 
his ardent defire after know ledge ; but this paffion carried 
•him rather too far in his refearches: he endeavoured to 
difeover future events by aftrology, imagining this feience 
to be infallible ; and upon this foundation he publiflied a 
predidion, that the world would come to an end in the 
middle of the fourteenth century. He pradifed pnyfic 
at Paris for home time; but, having advanced fome new 
doftrines, he drew upon himfelf the refc-ntment of the 
univerfity. Upon his leaving France, he retired to Sicily, 
where he was received by king Frederic of Arragcn with 
the greateft marks of kindnefs and efteem. Some time af¬ 
terwards, this prince fent him to France, to attend pope 
Clement in his illnefs; and he was fliipwrecked on the 
coaft of Genoa, about the year 1313. The works of Ar¬ 
naud, with his life prefixed, were printed in one volume

ted advocate of the parliament of Paris, was born in 1588 ; 
and, being introduced young at court, \vas employed in 
many confiderable offices, which he difch'arged with great 
integrity and reputation. In 16.34, he retired into the con¬ 
vent of Port Royal des Champs, where he palled the re¬ 
mainder of his days in a continued application to works of 
piety and devotion ; and enriched the French language 
with many excellent tranflations of different writers, as 
well as with religious compofitions of his own. He died 
in 1674, and his works are printed in eight volumes folio. 
Arnaud (Anthony), brother of the preceding, and a 
doctor of the Sorbonne, was born in 1612. He publiflied,

which broke out about this time in the univerfity of Paris, 
and in which he took a zealous part with the Jtuifenifts,

helped to increafe the animofity between him and the Je* 
fuits. But nothing raifed fo great a clamour againft him 
as the two letters he wrote on “ Abfolutionin the fecond 
of which the faculty of divinity found two propofitions 
which they condemned, and M. Arnaud was expelled the 
fociety. Upon this he retired ; and, dnring a retreat which 
lafted near twenty-five years, he compofed that great va¬ 
riety of works which are extant of his, on grammar, geo¬ 
metry, logic, metaphyfics, and theology. In 1679, he 
withdrew from France, living in obfeurity in the Nether¬ 
lands, and died in 1694. His heart, at his own requeft, 
was fent to be depofited in the Port Royal.

his profeflion for that of divinity, if he ftiould be reftored 
to health; which he accordingly did upon his recovery. 
He was minifter firft at Quedlinburg and then at Brunf- 
wick. He met with great oppolition in this laft city : his 
fuccefs as a preacher raifed the enmity of his brethren, who 
became his bitter enemies. To ruin his character, they 
alcribed a variety of errors to him ; and perfe.cuted him to 
luch a degree, that he was obliged to leave Brunfwick, 
and retire to Ifleb, where he was minifter for three years.

into feveral languages.
