Note 1 — Chapter II
Reading edition
: Article LABADIE in Nouvelle Biographie Générale (1859), with additional information from Article on him in the Biographie Universelle (edit. 1819), and from La Vie du Sieur Jean Labadie by Bolsec (Lyon, 1664), and some passages in Bayle's Dictionary (e.g. in Article Mamillaires). It is from the additional authorities that I learn the fact of the removal of Labadie from Montauban to Orange; the Article in the N. Biog. Gen. omits it.—I have seen two publications of Labadie at Montauban—one of 1650, entitled Declaration de Jean de L'Abadie, cydevant prestre, giving his reasons for quitting the Church of Rome; the other of 1651, entitled Lettre de J. de L'Abadie à ses amis de la Communion Romaine touchant sa Declaration.
