Henry de BELSUNCE (1671-1755) bishop of Marseille, he showed heroic courage during the Great Plague. L.A.S. "Henry Bishop of Marseilles", Marseilles 2 November; 4 pages in-4. About a pamphlet and anonymous letters written against him. ...

He could not have a better fate being very badly written, without spirit and without salt, though with much malice.

He returns to the attacks of this pamphlet: his birth, the religion of his ancestors: " the misfortune that they had of Huguenots is personal to them, and is not a stain. For moy I will never blush to be the grandson of the Dukes of the Force because they were also in that party. If it is an affront it is common to me with all that there are bigger houses in the Kingdom and the Roy luy mesme is in the case "... All this made him laugh, as well as the other affirmations, so easily refuted, about his sumptuous lifestyle, the luxury of his furniture: " you knew that my furniture is only satinade and my earthenware dishes "...
