1658Balthasar Gracian, S.J. dies. Author of The Compleat Gentleman, The Art of Worldly Wisdom. This is a guide to the ethics of worldly life. He was banished from one of our colleges. He wrote, for example, that one should so trust friends as if tomorrow they could be fiends, etc.
1757In Paris Father Busembaum's Medulla Theologiae Moralis was publicly burned by order of Parliament, on the ground (false) that it favored tyrannicide.
