P. 264, l. 22. _Si angelus._ A reference to ad Gal. i. 8.
P. 264, l. 28. _my good father._ Probably Father Annat. See p. 289,
l. 28.
P. 265, l. 21. _1 P. ix. 113, a. 10, ad. 2._ These signs refer to
the Summa of Saint Thomas Aquinas here quoted, and mean _Parte 1,
quæstione 113, articulo 10, ad objectionem 2_.

P. 267, l. 26. _Father Lingende._ Claude de Lingendes, 1591-1660, was
a Jesuit preacher. His sermons were published in 1666.
P. 268, l. 11. _Ubi est Deus tuus._ Ps. xlii. 3.
P. 268, l. 22. _do not believe that the five propositions are in
Jansenius._ To explain this fully would need a far longer note than
can here be given. It may be said shortly that the allusion is to
the "Augustinus" of Cornelius Jansen, Bishop of Ypres. Two questions
arose: first, whether the propositions condemned were heretical, and
second, whether if heretical they were in Jansen's book. The second
assertion was that which the nuns of Port Royal refused to make. They
had not read the book, and could not affirm that of which they were
ignorant. The five propositions were on the Doctrines of Grace and
Free Will.
P. 268, l. 27. _Tu quid dicis._ These are partial quotations from
Joh. iv. 19, etc.
P. 269, l. 9. _Nemo facit virtutem._ Marc. ix. 38, but incorrectly.
The true reading is _Nemo est enim qui faciat_.
P. 269, l. 25. _Omne regnum divisum._ Matt. xii. 25.
P. 269, l. 28. _Si in digito Dei._ Luc. xi. 20.
P. 269, l. 35. _Vatable_, who died in 1517, was professor of Hebrew
at the Collége Royal established by Francis I. In 1539 Robert Etienne
published an edition of the Latin Bible of Leo of Modena--Rabbi
Jehuda--to which he added under Vatable's name, notes which were
not really Vatable's, but borrowed from various writers of the
Reformation. These notes were condemned by the Sorbonne. The Bible
known as that of Vatable contains the Hebrew, the Vulgate Version,
and that of Rabbi Jehuda.
P. 271, l. 23. _miracles of Vespasian._ Tacitus, _Hist._ iv. 81.
P. 273. _Jesuits and Jansenists._ A collection of fragments on these
subjects, which perhaps might be considered rather as an appendix to,
or notes for the _Provincial Letters_, than a part of the _Thoughts_,
properly so called. But they form part of the autograph MS.
P. 273, l. 9. _There is a time to laugh._ Eccles. iii. 4. _Responde,
ne respondeas._ Prov. xxvi. 4.
P. 275, l. 9. _Elias was a man like ourselves._ Quoted by memory as
from Saint Peter, but really from Saint James, v. 17.
P. 275, l. 14. _accused of many crimes._ Athanasius was accused of
rape, of murder, and of sacrilege. He was condemned by the Councils
of Tyre, A.D. 335, of Arles, A.D. 353, and of Milan A.D. 355. Pope
Liberius, after having long refused to ratify the condemnation, was
said to have finally done so A.D. 357. But this is disputed by recent
authorities. For Athanasius we are of course here to read Jansenius
and Arnauld; for Saint Theresa, la mère Angélique or la mère Agnès;
for Liberius, Clement IX.
P. 275, l. 33. _Antonio Escobar y Mendoza._ The Spanish Jesuit whose
system of morals was so severely handled by Pascal in the _Provincial
Letters_. He is among those whose names have given rise to a word:
"_escobarderie_" is a synonym for equivocation.
P. 276, l. 6. _Molina_, Louis, a Spanish Jesuit, born 1535, died
1601. The Jansenists accused his Commentary on the Summa of Saint
Thomas Aquinas of favouring a lax morality.
P. 277, l. 4. _Mohatra._ "The contract Mohatra, by which a man buys
cloth at a dear rate and on credit, to re-sell it at once to the same
person cheaply for ready money." Eighth _Provincial_.
P. 278, l. 21. _Est and non est._
P. 278, l. 26. _Væ qui conditis leges iniquas._ Is. x. 1. But the
Vulgate reads _Væ qui condunt_.
P. 279, l. 22. _M. de Condran._ No doubt Charles de Condren,
1588-1641, doctor of the Sorbonne, and second General of the French
Oratory, a society of priests founded by Cardinal de Bérulle at Paris
in 1611.
P. 280, l. 7. _Sanctificavi prælium._ Mic. iii. 5.
P. 280, l. 12. _Ne convertantur._ Is. vi. 10.
P. 282, l. 21. _Coacervabunt tibi magistras._ 2 ad Tim. iv. 3, where
the Vulgate has "_sibi_."
P. 282, l. 28. _not to make appointments to bishoprics._ But a few
years after this Fathers La Chaise and Le Tellier, as Confessors to
the King, had this power in their hands.
P. 282, l. 31. _Father Brisacier_, born 1603, a Jesuit, and a warm
opponent of Jansenism. He wrote _Le Jansénisme confondu_, and several
minor works. He is constantly quoted in the _Provincial Letters_.
P. 283, l. 1. _Venice._ The Jesuits had just returned to Venice in
1657, having been expelled thence in 1606.
P. 283, l. 22. _Amice, ad quid venisti._ Matt. xxvi. 50.
P. 283, l. 24. _probability_, or, technically, probabilism.
Probabilism teaches that it is permissible to act on an opinion which
is less probable than the opinion opposed to it so long as there is
a solid ground for regarding it as probable _in itself_. Thus, if
out of three moral theologians of recognised authority, two give it
as their opinion that a certain course of conduct is unlawful, while
the third asserts it to be lawful, probabilism permits the adoption
in practice of the third opinion in opposition to the other two. A
confessor would therefore have no right to forbid it under pain of
sin.
P. 284, l. 12. _Dii estis._ Ps. lxxxii. 6.
P. 284, l. 13. _If my Letters are condemned at Rome._ The _Provincial
Letters_ were condemned at Rome, Sept. 6, 1657.
P. 285, l. 22. _imago._ An allusion to the famous panegyric on the
Jesuits called, "_Imago primi sæculi_." See Fifth _Provincial_.
P. 285, l. 36. _Si non fecissem quæ alius non fecit._ Jon. xv. 24.
P. 286, l. 31. _These nuns._ The nuns of Port Royal were called upon
to sign the Formula which declared that the Five Propositions were
_in Jansenius_.
P. 287, l. 4. _Vide si via iniquitatis in me est._ Ps. cxxxix. 24.
P. 287, l. 15. _they are so no longer_, i.e. since the miracle.
P. 288, l. 18. _Vos autem non sic._ Luc. xxii. 26.
P. 289, l. 28. _Annat_, 1590-1670, a Jesuit priest, Provincial of
the Order, and Confessor to Louis XIV., 1654-1670. He wrote the
well-known book, _Le Rabat-joie des Jansénistes_, 1666, and to him
were addressed Pascal's Seventeenth and Eighteenth _Provincials_.
P. 290, l. 9. _Montalte._ Louis de Montalte was the pseudonym adopted
by Pascal as the writer of the _Provincial Letters_.
P. 290, l. 26. _A fructibus eorum._ Matt. vii. 16.
P. 291, l. 6. _Lessius_, Leonard, a Jesuit born at Brecht, near
Antwerp, 1554, died 1623, a pupil of Suarez. He was censured by the
Faculty of Louvain in 1584. He wrote, among others, a treatise, _De
licito usu æquivocationum et mentalium restrictionum_.
P. 291, l. 9. _Bauny._ Pascal in his Eighth _Provincial_ quotes an
opinion of Father Bauny on the question of restitution to be made by
one who has caused the burning of his neighbour's barn.
P. 291, l. 10. _quam primum._ A reference to the rule that if a
priest personally disqualified from saying Mass on account of any
mortal sin is yet obliged to do so for the sake of his parishioners,
it is sufficient that he make an act of contrition, and as soon as
possible "_quam primum_" seek the Sacrament of Penance.
P. 292, l. 18. _State super vias._ A partial quotation from Jer. vi.
16.
P. 293, l. 20. _Vince in bono malum._ Ad Rom. xii. 21.
P. 297, l. 5. _Bibite ex hoc omnes._ Matt xvii. 27.
P. 297, l. 7. _In quo omnes peccaverunt._ Ad Rom. v. 12.
P. 298, l. 10. _Ne timeas, pusillus grex._ Luc. xii. 32.
P. 298, l. 13. _Qui me recipit._ Matt. x. 40.
P. 298, l. 14. _Nemo scit neque Filius._ Luc. x. 22.
P. 298, l. 15. _Nemo lucida obumbravit._ Matt. xvii. v.
P. 303, l. 6. _plus poetice quam humane locutus es._ Petronius, c.
90, where the words have not the turn that Pascal here gives them.
P. 304, l. 2. _The part that I take in your sorrow._ The Chevalier
de Méré, in his _Discours de la Conversation_, says, that he had
been witness to a bet, that on opening a letter of condolence the
set phrase condemned above would occur, and that the lady to whom
the letter was addressed could not help laughing in spite of her
distress. Pascal's note is against writing mere formal phrases which
can thus be easily guessed. The Cardinal is Mazarin.
P. 304, l. 9. _M. le M._ Le Maistre, Antoine, 1608-1658. The allusion
is to _Les Plaidoyers et Harangues_ de M. le Maistre, Paris, 1657. On
the first page of Plaidoyer VI., _Pour un fils mis en religion par
force_, we find "_Dieu qui répand des aveuglements et des ténèbres
sur les passions illégitimes_," and Pascal probably refers to this
passage as one in which the word _répandre_ could not be replaced by
_verser_.
P. 305, l. 23. _I judge by my watch._ Mlle. Perier says, that Pascal
always wore a watch attached to his left wrist-band.
P. 309, l. 27. _An example may be taken from the circulation of the
blood._ Apparently taken from Descartes, _Discours de la Méthode_,
pt. v., in which Descartes speaks of Harvey's discovery.
P. 309, l. 33. _M. de Roannez._ Gouffier, Duc de Roannez, was a
friend of Pascal, some seven or eight years younger than he. He was a
devoted adherent of Port Royal, and died unmarried.
P. 312, l. 23. _Salomon de Tultie._ An anagram for Louis de Montalte,
see p. 290, l. 9.
P. 313, l. 11. _The story of the pike and frog._ This story has
hitherto escaped research.
P. 313, l. 17. _conatus recedendi._ Centrifugal force.
P. 316, l. 3. _When a strong man armed._ Luke xi. 21.
