He wrote works against the use of snuff, coffee, and tea. This is a rare parody on the vanity of the clergy. One of the illustrations in this book depicts a "Monsieur L'Abbe, Prenant du Tabac" who is using snuff. {Not in Arents. } "Seine Schriten sind polemisch-satirischer Natur und tragen in ihrer wUusten Gelehrsamkeit und dem Mangel jeder Kritik den Stempel des 17.
