Cloud near Paris, whose preaching, those of his communion
say, was zealous, and his doctrine sound. He had acquired a kind of licence to speak with the utmost freedom
to persons of the first rank at court, and reprove their irregularities from whence this verse of the 119th Psalm was

” Feuillet converted
many sinners, which Boiieau alludes to when he says,
“Laissez a Feuillet reformer Punivers;
” and was the principal instrument in the conversion of M. de Chanteau, cou
sin-german of M. de Caumartin, counsellor of state. The
very instructive History he gave of this conversion was
printed, with some of his other works, 1702, 12mo, and
has been several times reprinted. Feuillet died at Paris,
September 7, 1693, aged seventy-one. He left some
“Letters,
” and a “Funeral Oration
” on Henrietta of England, duchess of Orleans.
