Sermons, dissertations, translations From 1710 Werenfels (a native speaker of German) was asked to preach sermons in the French church at Basel; they were in a plain style. As a preacher he has been described as "estranged from false pathos, elegant, intelligible, and edifying". These sermons were published as Sermons sur des verités importantes de la religion auxquels on ajoute des Considerations sur la reünion des protestans (1715). They were translated into German, and into Dutch by Marten Schagen. Schagen also translated the De recto theologi zelo into Dutch. The De logomachiis eruditorum was translated into English as Discourse of Logomachys, or Controversys about Words (1711). Thomas Herne under a pseudonym translated Latin and French works as Three Discourses (1718), at the time of the Bangorian Controversy.<ref>Three Discourses: one a defence of private judgment; the second against the authority of the Magistrate over conscience; the third, concerning the Reuniting of Protestants.
