Excerpt from Cruel Persecutions of the Protestants in the Kingdom of France: First American Reprint of the English Translation, Published in London in 1707 In the city of Nimes, Claude found more ample opportunities to develop his talents for the pulpit. A daily preaching service was held in the church, each of the three pastors officiat ing in turn; the children were taught carefully the principles of Evangelical Christianity, thor oughly catechized, in the first and best sense of the word, as they are still by the French pas tors moreover, the sick and feeble of the flock were cared for and protected from Romish proselytism. Such a pastorate, we can easily understand, involved duties which greatly taxed the time and strength of Claude; yet he chose to add to them the voluntary work of private lectures to the students Of the Protestant Liter ary and Theological Academy in that city, lectures which were very much appreciated by these students for the ministry.
