Article X. Protestant Commentators upon St. Mark.

Charles Mary de Veil, his Notes upon St. Mark were printed with those put out by him on St. Matthew, at London, 1678, in 8vo. the third Edition. There is no question but he was as changeable in his Explanations, as in his Religion and Sentiments; for, having been a Jew, and born at Metz, he was converted by M. Bossuet, and became a Catholick. He was a Canon-Regular, afterwards he abjured the Faith, became an Anabaptist, and so died in the beginning of this Century; having pass’d thro’ all Religions without having any.

Henry Hammond, an English Arminian, did not write in particular upon St. Matthew, but upon the whole New Testament; as well as the other Protestants whom we shall just name, except Winckelman, whose Comment on St. Mark is printed with that composed by him on St. Luke, at Wittemberg, 1706, in fol. See above; or his Title in the Index.

Among the rest who have written on St. Mark, are Grotius, Beza, Piscator, Cameron, Zeger, Reevius, Schmidt, le Clerc, Lightfoot, Drusius, Chemnitius, and Lambert Danæus, whose Questions and Scholia upon St. Mark were published at Geneva, 1594, in 8vo. He was of Orleans, a Calvinist; and died in 1596.
