20 "Vitæ et Miraculorum S. Patricii, Hiberniæ Apostoli, Epitome, cum brevi Notitiâ Hiberniæ." Louvanii, 1671, 8vo. printed with the former; which he afterwards revised and enlarged, and published under the title of "Theologia Tripartita Universa, sive Resolutiones Polemicæ, Practicæ, Controversiarum et Questionum etiam recentissimarum, quæ in Scholâ et in Praxi per omnia usum præcipuum habent; Missionariis, et aliis Animarum Curatoribus, et Theologiæ Studiasis, solerter accommodatæ Editio quinta." Antwerpiæ, 1682, 3 vols. 8vo. If we may judge by the number of editions, this book carried a vast reputation abroad. I have seen the eleventh edition of it printed, Venice 1700, 4to. after the author's death, and, for what I know, there may be others since. At the time the eight edition was undertaken, there were sixteen thousand of them disposed of, and a great demand for more.

He also wrote and published, "The Lives of Peter Talbot, Archbishop of Dublin, and of Oliver Plunket, Primate of Ireland," which are printed in the eleventh edidionedition [sic] of his "Theologia Tripartita."

Sotvellus tells us, that he had a book ready for the press, entitled, "Theologia Apostolica."
