François Morenas, on his alleged Abridgement of the Ecclesiastical History, in which the ridiculous fables, the gross errors, the monstrous principles, & the horrible calumnies advanced by this Author, in favour of the Jesuits, against the disciples of Saint Augustine are refuted; in particular against the learned Abbot of Saint-Cyran, the great Arnauld, the nuns of Port-Royal, the holy Solitaries who inhabited that Desert, the Daughters of Childhood, the four Bishops, Fr. Quesnel, & generally all those who have shown zeal for the grace of Jesus Christ & the purity of Christian morals; to serve as a supplement to the Abrégé de l'Histoire Ecclésiastique [by Abbé Bonaventure Racine].
