he had the honour of furpaffing all who went before him

ing their books, diftinguiftied the type by his name ; in¬

der, in a piece entitled Andrete Schioppii Cafparis Fralris Ho-

tureson his order by minifters of the proteftant commu¬ 
nion. When he had completed his noviciate, he became 
a very popular preacher, and maintained that charafler 
for many years in the principal cities of F'rance and Lor- 
rain. In 1623 he ventured on the producfion of a large 
work, intended to controvert the principles of atheifts and 
libertines, entitled The curious Dodtrine of the Wits, 
or Pretenders to Wit, of this Age, containing feveral 
Maxims pernicious to the State, Religion, and good 
Manners, refuted and overthrown by Father Garaffe, of

performance was publiftied in 1626, by the abbot of.'St. 
Cyran, entitled The Summary of the capital Faultsi'and 
Falflioods contained in the Theological Summary of Fa¬ 
ther F. Garalle, 4to. This work brought a confidera- 
ble imputation on the religious charadler of Garali'c, 
and he was baniflied from Paris to a lioui'e belonging to 
the Jefuits at Poitiers. But they entertained aninvincil le 
hatred to the abbot of St. Gyran, who was a Janfei.ift ; 
and by fome writers this is faid to have been the caufe of 
the war which afterwards raged fo furioufly between the 
Jefuits and the Janfenifts. While father Garafi'e tvas at 
Poitiers, the plague having fpread its ravages into that 
part of the kingdom in 1631, he begged leave ofhisiv.pe- 
riors to attend thofe who were infedted with it; and, 
having obtained their permiftion, he caught the contagi¬ 
on, while charitably adminiftering relief and confolation 
to the afflidfed fuft'erers, and died in the hofpital, at the 
age of forty-fix. Befides his profeworks, he was tlie au¬
