ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Augustin Marlorat was a French Protestant reformer (1506-1562) placed in an Augustinian monastery at the age of eight. He approved the rigidly Calvinistic procedure of excommunication and resigned after a brief time in Geneva as pastor of an Evangelical congregation. Upholding the Protestant Church's petition to Charles IX in 1560 and a later petition to Catharine de'Medici, he was chosen as a spokesman of the Protestants. Ultimately, Marlorat was executed on a treason charge in 1562. (Wikipedia).
