able is the valley of the lake of Joux, on the top of that 
part of the chain named Mont Joux. It contains feveral 
populous villages, and is beautifully diverfified with wood, 
arable land, and pafture. It is watered by two lakes; the 
largeft of which is that of Joux already mentioned. This 
has one (bore of a high rock covered with wood; the op- 
pofite banks forming a gentle afcent, fertile and well cul¬ 
tivated ; behind which is a ridge covered with pines, 
beech, and oak wood. The (mailer lake, named Brenet, 
is bordered with fine corn-fields and villages ; and the 
ftream which iffues from it is loft in a gulf named Enton- 
rtoir, or the Funnel, where the people have placed feveral 
mills which are turned by the force of the falling current. 
The river Orbe iffues from the other fide of the mountain, 
about two miles from this place; and probably owes its 
origin to the fubterranedus ftream juft mentioned. The 
largeft lake is fupplied by a rivulet which ill'ues from the 
bottom of a rock, arid lofes itlelf in it. The valley con¬ 
tains about 3000 inhabitants, remarkable for their induf- 
try. Some are watch-makers ; but the greateft number 
employ themfelves in polifhing cryftals, granites, and mar- 
calites. The country is much infefted with bears and 
wolves. In afcending to this place there is a very exten- 
five profpeft of great part of the Pays de Vaud, the lake 
of Geneva, and that of Neufchatel, which from that high 
point of view appear to be nearly on a level; though M. 
de Luc found the latter to be 159 feet above the level of 
the lake of Geneva.

IVRE'A, or Jure'a, a town of France, in the depart¬ 
ment of the Dora, late a city of Piedmont, on the Dora 
Baltea, or Grand Dora, originally a Roman colony, fent 
thither during the lixth confullhip of Marius, and the firft 
of Valerius Flaccus, and which was called Eportdia. It is 
fituated partly in a plain, and partly on a hill of eafy af¬ 
cent ; the number of inhabitants is about 6000 ; it was 
the fee of a biffiop, fuffragan of the archbiflrop of Turin ; 
the cathedral is laid to have been anciently a temple of 
Apollo. There are ftill fome remains of an ancient for- 
trefs, called il Cajlellazzo, fuppofed to have been built by 
Ardouin, firft marquis of Ivrea, and afterwards king of 
Italy, againft Henry duke of Bavaria, his competitor for 
the crown. The emperors having granted the fame, with 
the lordlhip of the town, to the comtes of Blanderate, the 
inhabitants, weary of the yoke, demoliftied it in the year 
1285, and drove the comtes from the town. It was af¬ 
terwards rebuilt, and came into the hands of the marquis 
of Montferrat; but the inhabitants were equally offended 
with him, and demoliftied it a fecond time ; at the fame 
time pafling an ordonnance, that the principal magiftrate 
Should every year, on entering his office, be compelled to 
carry away one ftone, and make a public declaration of 
his hatred to the marquis of Montferrat. It has a caftle

tween Charles V. and Francis I. king of France; the other 
built by Thomas prince of Savoy, during the civil war in 
Piedmont. A third, named il Cajlelletto , was demoliftied 
by the French in 1641. Befides the cathedral, it has 
three other parifli-churches, and feveral religious houfes.

JURIEU' (Peter), a celebrated French proteftant di¬ 
vine, was the fon of a proteftant minifter at Mer, or Me- 
vers-la-Ville, a fmall town four leagues from Blois, where 
lie was born in the year 1637. He received part of his 
education in Holland, under the learned profeifor Andrew 
Rivet; and was fent for thence into England, by his ma¬ 
ternal uncle Peter du Moulin, who w'as then fettled as a 
clergyman in this country. Here Jurieu completed his 
theological ftudies, and was admitted to holy orders in the 
Englifti epifcopal church. Upon the death of his father, 
he was called into France to fucceed him in his paltoral 
office at Mer; when, for the fatisfaftion of the French pro- 
teftants, who difapproved of epifcopal ordination, he lub- 
mitted to be re-ordained by prelbyters, according to the 
Genevan form. Afterwards he officiated as minifter at 
Vitry ; whence he removed to Sedan, where he was chofen 
profeffor of divinity and Hebrew', and acquitted himfelf 
in the difeharge of its duties with eminent reputation. 
M. Jurieu, though in many things he himfelf departed 
from the fentiments of the reformed, fet up neverthelefs 
for a rigorous defender of orthodoxy. In the year 1670 
he attracted public notice, by printing An Anlwer to a 
Treatife concerning the Re-union of Chriftians, by M. 
d’Hniffeau, minifter at Saumur ; which was condemned by 
the l’ynod of Saintonge, as containing heretical propolitions. 
Afterwards he wrote A Differtation on the Subjeff of Bap- 
tifm, in which he defended one of the obnoxious tenets 
of the church of Rome; and it was with much difficulty 
that his friends perluaded him to fupprefs it. They found 
no lefs difficult y in perluading him to ftrike out fome pro- 
pofitions held by the proteftnnts to be heretical, from his 
Apology for the Morals of the Reformed, publiffied in the 
year 1674. Notwithftanding this, lie united with fome 
other divines in perfecuting M. Pajon, minifter of Orleans-, 
who had a particular fyftem concerning grace, though it 
did not difagree fundamentally from the doiftrine of abfo- 
lute predelfination, and final perfeverance, which was 
taught by the reformed churches in France. This con¬ 
duct of his originated in a mixture of bigotry, imperiouf- 
nels, and turbulence of temper, which involved him in 
quarrels wherever lie went. It had obliged him to quit
