He was two years court-preacher to the duke of York, afterwards James II of England, but was eventually banished, and retired to Parai, in Burgundy, where he died, February 15, 1682. He was a famous preacher, and.became noted for his "devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus," a sentiment which the notorious Marie Alacoque carried to the extreme of fanaticism. His Sermons were published (Lyons, 1757, 6 volumes), also a few treatises on practical religion.
