fame fiend in 1667, and took refuge again at Copenhagen. 
During this fecond vifit to Denmark, he W3S led to in¬ 
dulge the hope, that he had at length a profpect of a peace¬ 
ful lettlement ; for the magiftrates of Frederidburg con- 
fented that the Unitarians lhould refide in their town, and 
enjoy without mcleltation the private exercife of their re¬ 
ligion. Upon this he removed to that city, and invited 
his baniflied brethren to join him ; fparing no pains nor 
coft, to the great injury of his own eltate, that he might 
fettle and provide for them there. The enemies of the 
Unitarians, however, foon purfued them into this hofpi- 
table retreat from perfecution. As the duke'of Holftein- 
Gottorp, to vvhofe territory Frederidburg belonged, had 
not given his formal confent to the lettlement of the Uni¬ 
tarian refugees in that place, he was perfuaded to publilh art 
edict, by which they were baniflied from that city, and from 
every part of his dominions. In this emergency, Lubien- 
ietzki ventured to repair once more to Hamburgh, where 
the interceflion of the king of Denmark with the magiftrates 
induced them for fome time to connive at his refider.ee. But 
the intolerant zeal of the Lutheran minillers would not buf¬ 
fer him to remain long in peace; and, by their ineeflant 
folicitations, the magiftrates were at laft prevailed upon 
to ilfue an injunction for his departure from their jurif- 
diftion. Pie was then lick, but promifed to obey them as 
fpeedily as pollible. Some wicked enemy, however, to 
make fureof his deftrudion, contrived that poifon lhould 
be adminiftered to him in his food, to which two of his 
daughters, as well as himfelf, fell a facrifice, while his wife, 
who had eaten very fparingly, narrowly efcaped the fame 
fate. He died in 1675, about the age of fifty-two, and 
was buried in the church of Altena, notwithftanding the 
oppolition of the Lutheran clergy, who, like their perfe- 
cuting prototypes in the church of Rome, were delirous 
of purfuing him to the grave, and treating what they 
were pleafed to term a heretic’s corpfe with marks of in¬ 
famy. Before his death, he had the fatisfaftion of having 
obtained for his baniflied brethren a retreat at Manheim, 
under the protection of the Elector Palatine, who is Ityled 
the molt latitudinarian prince at that time in the world, 
and who is certainly entitled to the honour of being the 
moft tolerant. Lubienietzki wrote a vaft number of 
books, the greater number of which has not been com¬ 
mitted to the prefs. The titles of them may be feen in 
Sandius’s Bibliotheca Antitrinitariorum, p. 165, &c. The 
moft confiderable of his publifned works (hows him to 
have been well (killed in aftronomy, and is entitled, Thea- 
trum Cometicum, &c. in 2 vols. folio, 1667. It is a moft 
elaborate performance, and contains a minute historical 
account of every (ingle comet which had been feen or re¬ 
corded from the deluge to the year 1665. At the time of 
Ills death, he was engaged in writing a Hiftory of the Re¬ 
formation in Poland; of which all that was found among 
his papers was printed in Holland in 1685, in 8vo. with 
an account of the author’s life prefixed to it. Bayle.

LU'BIMS, the defcendants of Lubim. 
LU'BIN (Augultine), a learned French Auguftine 
monk and able geographer, was born at Paris in the year 
1624. Pie entered at an early age among the religious of 
the reformed order of St. Augultine; and, applying with 
icreat diligence to his Studies, diftinguilhed himfelf by his 
proficiency, particularly in ancient and modern geogra¬ 
phy, and in (acred and profane hiftory. Plis feientific 
(kill was rewarded with thq poll of geographer to the king. 
He died in a convent belonging to Ins order at Paris in 
x6y5, when he was in the feventy-fecond year of his age. 
He enriched the republic of letters with fcveral works, 
which, if they are not recommended by the graces of ftyle, 
abound in ui'eful and curious rtfearches, and are monu¬ 
ments of the erudition of the author. They conliit of,

LU'BIN (Eilhard), a theologian and philologift, was 
born in 1565, at Wefterftede, in the county of Oldenburg, 
of which place his father was minifter. He ftudied r.t le- 
veral German univerlities, and acquired an exaft know¬ 
ledge of the Greek language, with the branches of fcience 
ufually taught in thole ieminaries. He was appointed 
profeftor of poetry at Roftock in 1595, and of theology 
ten years afterwards. He was twice married ; and died in 
1621. He made himfelf known by feveral philological 
publications, of which were, 1. Antiquarius, five Priico- 
rum et minus Ufitatorum Vocabuiorum Brevis Interpre- 
tatio. %. Clavis Linguae Graecse, live Vocabula Latino- 
Graeca. 3. Editions of Anacreon, Juvenal, and Perfins, 
with notes. 4. Horace and Juvenal, with a paraphrafe. 
5. The Anthologia, with a Latin verlion. 6. Epiftola; 
veterum Grsecorum, Gr. et Lat. 7. The Dionyfacs of 
Nonnus, Gr. and Lat. 8. Commentaries on the Epiftles 
of St. Paul. 9. Monoteffaron, being a harmony of the 
evangelifts. His Latin poems are printed in the third vo¬ 
lume of the Delicise Poetar. German. The work, how¬ 
ever, by which he obtained moft fame in his life, though 
now forgotten, was a treatife on the origin of evil, enti¬ 
tled, “ Phofphorus, de Prima Caufaet Natura Mali, Trac- 
tatus Hypermetaphyficus.” The hypothelis he propofed 
was that of two co-eternal principles, God and Nothing, 
of which the latter Itood in the place of the evil principle 
of the Manicheans and other theorifis. To thofe who are 
converfant in the hiftory of metaphyfical controverfies, it 
will not appear extraordinary that this unintelligible lyliem 
had its opponents and defenders. Bayle.
