He entered the Dominican Order and lectured on Philosophy at Paris , being also ordinary preacher to Henry IV , and afterwards ambassador at Rome . In 1606 he was vicar-general of the congregation of France, and received from Marie De' Medici the revenues of the sees of Lombez and Saintes . He also administered the diocese of Metz , and was nominated to that of Marseilles in 1621, but ill health obliged him here to take a Coadjutor . Coeffeteau won considerable distinction in the controversy against the Protestant reformers and also wrote a ''History of Rome from Augustus to Constantine''. Many of his theological writings were collected in one volume (Paris, 1622), and at the time of his death he was engaged on a translation of the New Testament which is still in manuscript.
