(Extrait : Monsieur, Puisque vous jugez à propos de me de...)
Extrait : Monsieur, Puisque vous jugez à propos de me demander quelle est mon opinion sur la tolérance que les différentes sectes des chrétiens doivent avoir les unes pour les autres, je vous répondrai franchement qu'elle est, à mon avis, le principal caractère de la véritable Église. Les uns ont beau se vanter de l'antiquité de leurs charges et de leurs titres, ou de la pompe de leur culte extérieur, les autres, de la réformation de leur discipline, et tous en général, de l'orthodoxie de leur foi (car chacun se croit orthodoxe) ; tout cela, dis-je, et mille autres avantages de cette nature, sont plutôt des preuves de l'envie que les hommes ont de dominer les uns sur les autres, que des marques de l'Église de Jésus-Christ. Quelques justes prétentions que l'on ait à toutes ces prérogatives, si l'on manque de charité, de douceur et de bienveillance pour le genre humain en général, même pour ceux qui ne sont pas chrétiens, à coup sûr, l'on est fort éloigné d'être chrétien soi-même. « Les rois des nations dominent sur elles, disait notre Seigneur à ses disciples ; mais il n'en doit pas être de même parmi vous. »...

Jean Le Clerc was born on March 19, 1657 at Geneva, where his father, Stephen Le Clerc, was professor of Greek.
Jean Le Clerc applied himself to the study of philosophy under J. R. Chouet (1642 - 1731) the Cartesian, and attended the theological lectures of P. Mestrezat, Franz Turretin and Louis Tronchin (1629 - 1705). In 1682 he went to London, where he remained six months, preaching on alternate Sundays in the Walloon church and in the Savoy chapel.
In 1678-1679 Le Clerc spent sometime at Grenoble as tutor in a private family; on his return to Geneva he passed his examinations and received ordination. A last attempt to live at Geneva, made at the request of relatives there, satisfied him that the theological atmosphere was uncongenial, and in 1684 he finally settled at Amsterdam, first as a moderately successful preacher, until ecclesiastical jealousy shut him out from that career, and afterwards as professor of philosophy, belles-lettres and Hebrew in the Remonstrant seminary. This appointment, which he owed to Limborch, he held from 1684, and in 1712 on the death of his friend he was called to occupy the chair of church history also.

Le Clerc went to Saumur, where in 1679 were published Liberii de Sancto Amove Epistolae, Theologicae (Irenopoli: Typis Fhilalethianis), usually attributed to him; they deal with the doctrine of the Trinity, the hypostatic union of the two natures in Jesus Christ, original sin, and the like, in a manner sufficiently far removed from that of the conventional orthodoxy of the period.
The family originally belonged to the neighbourhood of Beauvais in France, and several of its members acquired some name in literature.
In 1691 he married a daughter of Gregorio Let.
