tered the Oratory in 1647 and died a member in 1678.
He was also a noted theologian and published "Theo-
remata ex universa theologia" (1670). A still more
distinguished member about this period was Father
Stephen Gough of Sussex. At first chaplain to the
Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury and doctor at Ox-
ford, he was converted to Catholicism by the Orato-
rians of the court of Henrietta of France, whom we
mentioned above, and in 1652 entered the Oratory of
Paris, at the age of twenty-seven. The general of the
in France. He appears to have been professor of
theology and philosophy in the University of Angers,
where he enjoyed great reputation as an expounder of
the teaching of John Duns Scotus. After 146.5 he
wrote his chief work, a commentary on the Four
Books of Sentences. He was interred in the church
of the Ara Cceli on the Capitoline. His chief works
are: "Expositio in IV Sententiarum Libros", a com-
pilation based on the teachings of John Duns Scotus,
published first at Rouen without date or place (s. 1.

Paris, twice in 14S8, again in 1499, 1511, and 1517; at

In contrast to this illustrious convert is Father Levas-
Bor of Orleans, who entered the Oratory in 1667. A
man of ability, but, according to Batterel, "too fond
of sport and good cheer", he ended by leaving the Ora-
tory and apostatizing, and died in England in 1718, a
canon in the Established Church.
