Pierre Du Moulin

Pierre Du Moulin (Latinized as Petrus Molinaeus; 16 October 1568 – 10 March 1658) was a Huguenot minister in France who also resided in England for some years.

Born in Buhy in 1568, he was the son of Joachim Du Moulin, a Protestant minister in the Orléans area.

Pierre was educated at the Protestant Academy of Sedan and subsequently trained for the ministry in London and Cambridge.

[1] He was a prolific author, penning a critique of the Roman Catholic Mass based on the Bible, Anatomie de la Messe, and a defense of the French Reformed Confession of Faith against its Jesuit detractors, Bouclier de la Foi.

An English translation of his Tirannie que les papes ont exercé depuis quelque siècles sur les roys d'Angleterre [Tyranny that the Popes exercised for some centuries over the kings of England] was published posthumously in 1674 by his son Peter Du Moulin.
