Historique Historical

Augustin est né en 1516 à Bar-le-Duc au 54 rue des Ducs-de-Bar.Augustine was born in 1516 in Bar-le-Duc at 54 rue des Ducs de Bar. Orphelin très jeune, il est confié par son tuteur à la communauté des Augustins de Bar. Very young orphan, he was entrusted by his guardian to the community of Augustinian Bar. Issu d'une famille de juristes à la cour des comptes de Bar, il aurait dû, comme aîné, hériter des biens, des livres de droit et de la charge de son père. Coming from a family of lawyers in the court of accounts Bar, he should, as the eldest, inherit property, law books and the burden of his father. Mais c'est son cadet, Martin Le Marlorat, qui reprendra la charge et les biens de la famille. But it was his younger brother, Martin The Marlorat, which will take the load and the family property. Augustin dira plus tard, à son procès, qu'il n'avait pas défroqué, puisque le faire « entrer en moinerie » avait été une manœuvre pour s'emparer de son bien. Augustine later said at his trial, he had not defrocked, since doing "enter into monkhood" was maneuvering to seize his property.

Dans la communauté des Augustins, il étudie les Ecritures, les langues des humanités et prononce ses vœux en 1524. Moine augustin, lettré, fin prédicateur, prêtre, il se convertit à la cause réformée pour s'être trop approché des thèses qu'il entendait combattre. In the community of Augustinian, he studied the scriptures, languages ​​and humanities took his vows in 1524. Augustinian monk, scholar, late preacher, priest, he converted to the Reformed cause for having too close theses that intended to fight.

Après avoir renoncé à son statut et à sa charge, il doit s'enfuir à Genève. After giving up his status and his dependents, he must flee to Geneva. Il est d'abord correcteur d'imprimerie, notamment pour l'hébreu. It is first proofreader, including Hebrew. Il devient collaborateur de Calvin, commentateur, humaniste. He began work at Calvin, commentator, humanist. Il se lie d'amitié avec Théodore de Bèze et devient pasteur à Vevey et à Crissey. He befriends Theodore Beza and became pastor in Vevey and Crissey. Lorsque les protestants de Rouen l'appellent en 1561, parce qu'ils manquent de pasteurs et de prédicateurs, il prend le risque de rentrer au royaume de France. When Protestants call Rouen in 1561, because of lack of pastors and preachers, he took the risk to go to the kingdom of France.

Augustin adresse alors à la régente Catherine de Médicis sa Remontrance à la Royne, mère du Roy par ceux qui sont persecutez pour la parolle de Dieu en laquelle ils rendent raison des principaux articles de la Religion, et qui sont aujourd'hui en dispute. Augustin then applied to the regent Catherine de Medici his Admonition to the queen, mother of Roy by those who persecute for the Word of God which they make because of the main articles of religion, and who are now in dispute. » Catherine de Médicis réunit à Poissy puis à Saint-Germain, des colloques, entre réformés et non réformés, où Augustin Marlorat est présent, y compris, en janvier 1562, pour répondre aux objections de la Sorbonne. "Catherine de Medici then meet at Poissy Saint-Germain, seminars, reformed and unreformed between where Augustin Marlorat present, including in January 1562, to meet the objections of the Sorbonne. Ce travail de recherche des conditions d'un « vivre ensemble », aboutira bien à la reconnaissance, par Catherine de Médicis, de « la nouvelle religion », l'édit de janvier 1562. Mais dès le 1er mars, à peine deux mois après, a lieu le massacre de Wassy. This research work conditions "living together" well lead to recognition by Catherine de 'Medici, of the "new religion", the edict of January 1562. But on 1 March, just two months after , was the massacre of Vassy. Les catholiques, incités par les Guise, à reprendre le terrain perdu, prennent les armes pour se rendre maîtres des villes acquises aux protestants. Catholics encouraged by Guise, to regain lost ground, take up arms to make themselves masters of the cities acquired Protestants. Fin octobre 1562, Augustin Marlorat, lors de la prise de Rouen, sera capturé, supplicié, pendu et décapité. In late October 1562, Augustin Marlorat when taking Rouen, will be captured, tortured, hanged and beheaded.

Son œuvre est constituée de commentaires, d'index pour les éditions du Nouveau Testament , de la Genèse , de la Sainte Bible , des Prophéties d'Isaïe , du livre de Job . His work consists of comments, index for editions of the New Testament, from Genesis of the Holy Bible Prophecies of Isaiah, the Book of Job.

31 October 1562 A.D.  Augustine Marlorat du Pasquier—French Reformed Churchman Executed

Life


He was born at Bar-le-Duc about 1506. At the age of eight he was placed in an Augustinian monastery, where he took the vows and was ordained priest in 1524. Nine years later he was abbot of a monastery at Bourges, but, becoming indoctrinated with the principles of Protestantism, he left France in 1535 and took refuge in Geneva, where he worked as a proof-reader for Greek and Hebrew.

At the recommendation of Pierre Viret he was appointed to a pastorate in Grissier near Lausanne, and there married. From Grissier he was called to Vevey, where he remained until 1559. The dismissal of Viret in the controversy on excommunication, however, led Marlorat, who approved the rigidly Calvinistic procedure, to resign, and after a brief time in Geneva he was sent in July to Paris as pastor of the Evangelical congregation there. After a year he accepted a call to Rouen as first preacher, where Protestants were still struggling to secure the right to hold public services. On the accession of Charles IX of France in December 1560, they addressed a petition, written by Marlorat, to the parliament and the king, requesting permission to use a church. The petition was refused, but the Protestants of Rouen felt themselves able to defy the edict of July 25, 1561, and hold their services in the halls of the ancient tower.

Marlorat likewise addressed a printed petition to Catharine de' Medici, in which he asserted the loyalty of the Protestants, and in August of the same year he was summoned to the Colloquy at Poissy. In debates there with the doctors of the Sorbonne, in January 1562, on images and baptism, he was one of the three spokesmen of the Protestants.

Returning to Rouen, Marlorat presided over the provincial synod held on January 25, 1562. After the massacre at Vassy on March 1, 1562, the Protestants of Rouen planned to seize their city. On the night of April 15 they carried out their purpose, and Marlorat was appointed one of the three heads of the new government, which still professed to be loyal to the king. Rouen was speedily fortified, and on May 27 the city was invested by an army under the command of the Duc d'Aumale, who, however, was forced to retire on June 12. On Sept. 29 a second force led by Charles himself, Anthony of Navarre, and others appeared before the city. Rouen was gradually reduced, but Montgomery, who commanded the besieged, like Marlorat, would accept no terms which did not include free exercise of the Protestant religion, and on October 26 the city was carried by storm. Marlorat and his family were captured and imprisoned. Three days later he was tried before the parliament on a charge of high treason, and on October 30 was condemned to be executed in front of the church in which he had preached. The sentence was carried out on the following day.

Works


The chief works of Marlorat were:

  • Novi Testamenti catholica expositio ecclesiastica (Geneva, 1561);
  • similar commentaries on Genesis (1561), the Psalms, and the Song of Solomon (1562);
  • posthumous commentaries on Isaiah (1564) and Job (1585);
  • a concordance, Thesaurus in locos communes rerum dogmatum ... et phraseon ... ordine alphabetico digestus (ed. W. Fenguereius, London, 1574).

Robert Estienne had proposed to publish new Biblical commentaries by Marlorat.[1] English translations were made of his commentary on Mark and Luke by Thomas Tymme (London, 1583), on John by the same (1575), on II and III John by Nathaniel Baxter (1578?), and on Revelation by Arthur Golding (1574). Marlorat also prepared the index to the Institutio of John Calvin, which later formed an integral portion of the work.
