A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Book first. FRANCE was, under Henry the third, in the most afflicting situation, when God who, even in his anger, is mindful of his mercies, gave to the world in a corner of the Barrens of Bordeaux a man, who, notwithstanding his humble condition, was one day to restore to the Church a portion of her ancient splendor, and to render signal service to the State. This child of benediction was born on the Tuesday after Easter, the twenty-fourth day of A pril 1576, in a small hamlet of the pa rish of Pouy, in the diocese of A cqs, towards the Pyrenees. His father was called William de Paul, and his mother, Bertrande de Moras. Their fortune was a medium between extreme necessity, and comfortable mediocrity. Piety, simplicity, and innocence of manners, were a substitute before God, for what they wanted in the eyes of men. Assiduous labor joined to a very frugal life, supplied the want of a more abundaut patrimony, and afforded them the means of relieving those who were poorer than themselves. God blessed their marriage with six children, two girls and four boys. Vincent, whose life we are writing, was the third; and in a family where every thing was turned to profit, he, like his brothers, was employed in the labors of the field.
