His writings were very numerous; among them are Histoire de l'abbaye de Port Royal (Cologne, 1756, 8 vols. 12mo), including also lives of Arnaud, Nicole, and other Jansenists; Concord des epitres de St. Paul et des epitres Canoniques (Paris, 1747, 12mo); Principes de la perfection Chretienne (Paris, 1748, 12mo); Principes de la Penitence et de la Conversion (Paris, 1762, 12mo).
