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.
