Aubertin, Edme

AUBERTIN, ō´´bär´´tan´, EDME: French Reformed clergyman; b. at Châlons-sur-Marne (90 m. e. of Paris) 1595; d. at Paris Apr. 5, 1652. He became minister at Chartres 1618, and at Charenton (Paris) 1631. To prove that the doctrine of the Reformed Church concerning the Eucharist was the same as that of the ancient Church, he wrote Conformité de la créance de l’Église avec celle de St. Augustin sur le sacrement de l’Eucharistie (Paris, 1626), afterward enlarged and entitled L’Eucharistie de l’ancienne Église (1629). The work attracted attention and caused much controversy.
