entirely to Jansenist writings. The sixty titles in the lists include various treatises of Arnauld, Huygens, Quesnel, Gilles de Witte, and a number of anonymous controversial monographs. In Rome, no attention was paid to this Index, and a remonstrance printed by Quesnel was not even prohibited. Precipiano prohibits the reading, copying, or distribution of a letter addressed to him in February, 1694, by Hennevel, which letter concerned itself with the matter of the formula. The Inquisition condemned this letter on the ground of the disobedience of the instructions of the pope for silence in regard to the subject and also because of certain ill-advised expressions, and Hennevel was a few months later compelled to retract his utterance. A letter of Precipiano, addressed to the court at Madrid, and written in 1695, says: “It is impossible to rout out Jansenists from the Netherlands unless the King accomplishes this through his own authority. From Rome under the present Pope nothing is to be hoped. He himself will do nothing and he leaves the responsibility to the Congregations which were demanded by Cardinal Casanoti and Bernini who are protectors of the Jansenist heresies.”[229] Arnauld, who may be classed as among the most important of the defenders of Jansenism, died in 1694. Very few of his writings had escaped the prohibition of the Index but the Memoirs of him written by Quesnel, _Histoire de la vie et des ouvrages de Monsieur Arnauld_, printed in 1695, escaped condemnation. As late as 1704, however, was prohibited the treatise by Arnauld entitled _Instructions sur la Grâce selon l’écriture et les pères, avec l’exposition de la foire de l’Eglise Romaine touchant la Grâce et la predestination_.
