He was freed by again retracting. His later years were spent on projects for the reunion of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. While visiting France in 1717, Tsar Peter I the Great commissioned Dupin to draft a plan for the reunion of the Eastern Orthodox and Roman churches.” (Encyclopaedia Britannica).
