He looks pretty peaceable in his portrait (wiki) but a sermon of his (plus Irish penal laws) provoked #FrancisMartin of Leuvan to write his major theological work "Scutum fidei contra haereses hodiernas" (1714) and he was castigated in #CorneliusNary's first work of controversary "A modest and true account of the chief points in controversy between Roman Catholics and protestants" (1696).
