not. And thereupon these wretched and
lost beings, having looked around them and seen some pleasing objects, have
given and attached themselves to them. For my own part, I have not been able
to attach myself to them, and, considering how strongly it appears that
there is something else than what I see, I have examined whether this God
has not left some sign of Himself.

I see many contradictory religions, and consequently all false save one.
Each wants to be believed on its own authority, and threatens unbelievers. I
do not therefore believe them. Every one can say this; every one can call
himself a prophet. But I see that Christian religion wherein prophecies are
fulfilled; and that is what every one cannot do.

694. And what crowns all this is prediction, so that it should not be said
that it is chance which has done it?

Whosoever, having only a week to live, will not find out that it is
expedient to believe that all this is not a stroke of chance...

Now, if the passions had no hold on us, a week and a hundred years would
amount to the same thing.

695. Prophecies.--Great Pan

in the case.
The young people declared themselves convinced by what they had heard
from the pulpit, and were willing of themselves to comply with the
counsel that had been given: and it was immediately, and, I suppose,
almost universally, complied with; and there was a thorough reformation
of these disorders thenceforward, which has continued ever since.

Presently after this, there began to appear a remarkable religious
concern at a little village belonging to the congregation called
Pascommuck, where a few families were settled, at about three miles
distance...

and this is not strictly self-preservation; besides, in the
end they perish entirely. None has endured a thousand years. But the fact
that this religion has always maintained itself, inflexible as it is, proves
its divinity.

615. Whatever may be said, it must be admitted that the Christian religion
has something astonishing in it. Some will say, "This is because you were
born in it." Far from it; I stiffen myself against it for this very reason,
for fear this prejudice bias me. But, although I am born in it, I cannot
help finding it so.

616. Perpetuity.--The Messiah has always been believed in. The tradition
from Adam was fresh in Noah and in Moses. Since then the prophets have
foretold him, while at the same time foretelling other things, which, being
from time to time fulfilled in the sight of men, showed the truth of their
mission, and consequently that of their promises touching the Messiah. Jesus
Christ performed miracles, and the Apostles also, who converted all the
heathen; and all the prophecies being thereby fulfilled, the Messiah is for
ever proved.

617. Perpetuity.--Let us consider that since the beginning of the world the
expectation of worship of the Messiah has existed uninterruptedly; that
there have been found men who said that God had revealed...

all bounds. Again, there
are many people who see the truth, and who cannot attain to it; but there
are few who do not know that the purity of religion is opposed to our
corruptions. It is absurd to say that an eternal recompense is offered to
the morality of Escobar.

916. Probability.--They have some true principles; but they misuse them.
Now, the abuse of truth ought to be as much punished as the introduction of
falsehood.

As if there were two hells, one for sins against love, the other for those
against justice!

917. Probability.--The earnestness of the saints in seeking the truth was
useless, if the probable is trustworthy. The fear of the saints who have
always followed the surest way. (Saint Theresa having always followed her
confessor.)

918. Take away probability, and you can no longer please the world; give
probability, and you can no longer displease it.

Nature
often deceives us, and does not subject herself to her own rules.

92. What are our natural principles but principles of custom? In children
they are those which they have received from the habits of their fathers, as
hunting in animals. A different custom will cause different natural
principles. This is seen in experience; and if there are some natural
principles ineradicable by custom, there are also some customs opposed to
nature, ineradicable by nature or by a second custom. This depends on
disposition.

93. Parents fear lest the natural love of their children may fade away. What
kind of nature is that which is subject to decay? Custom is a second nature
which destroys the former. But what is nature? For is custom not natural? I
am much afraid that nature is itself only a first custom, as custom is a
second nature.

94. The nature of man is wholly natural, omne animal.[18]

There is nothing he may not make natural; there is nothing natural he may
not lose.

Tot circa unum caput tumultuantes deos.59

Nihil turpius quam cognitioni assertionem praecurrere.60

Nec me pudet, ut istos, fateri nescire quid nesciam.61

Melius non incipient.62

365. Thought.--All the dignity of man consists in thought. Thought is,
therefore, by its nature a wonderful and incomparable thing. It must have
strange defects to be contemptible. But it has such, so that nothing is more
ridiculous. How great it is in its nature! How vile it is in its defects!

But what is this thought? How foolish it is!

366. The mind of this sovereign judge of the world is not so independent
that it is not liable to be disturbed by the first din about it. The noise
of a cannon is not necessary to hinder its thoughts; it needs only the
creaking of a weathercock or pulley. Do not wonder if at present it does not
reason well; a fly is buzzing in its ears; that is enough to render it
incapable of good judgement. If you wish it to be able to reach the truth,
chase away that animal which holds its reason in check and disturbs that
powerful intellect which rules towns and kingdoms. Here is a comical god! O
ridicolosissimo eroe!

to correct
them, discover that they are so appropriate that we would spoil the
discourse, we must leave them alone. This is the test; and our attempt is
the work of envy, which is blind, and does not see that repetition is not in
this place a fault; for there is no general rule.

49. To mask nature and disguise her. No more king, pope, bishop--but august
monarch, etc.; not Paris--the capital of the kingdom. There are places in
which we ought to call Paris, "Paris," others in which we ought to call it
the capital of the kingdom.

50. The same meaning changes with the words which express it. Meanings
receive their dignity from words instead of giving it to them. Examples
should be sought....

51. Sceptic, for obstinate.

52. No one calls another a Cartesian but he who is one himself, a pedant but
a pedant, a provincial but a provincial; and I would wager it was the
printer who put it on the title of Letters to a Provincial.

53. A carriage upset or overturned, according to the meaning. To spread
abroad or upset, according to the meaning. (The ar

to humble the proud, the
other in glory to exalt the humble; that Jesus Christ would be both God and
man.

679. Types.--Jesus Christ opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.

Two great revelations are these. (1) All things happened to them in types:
vere Israelitae, vere liberi, true bread from Heaven. (2) A God humbled to
the Cross. It was necessary that Christ should suffer in order to enter into
glory, "that He should destroy death through death." Two advents.

680. Types.--When once this secret is disclosed, it is impossible not to see
it. Let us read the Old Testament in this light, and let us see if the
sacrifices were real; if the fatherhood of Abraham was the true cause of the
friendship of God; and if the promised land was the true place of rest. No.
They are therefore types. Let us in the same way examine all those ordained
ceremonies, all those commandments which are not of charity, and we shall
see that they are types.

All these sacrifices and ceremonies were then either types or nonsense. Now
these are things too clear and too lofty to be thought nonsense.

To know if the prophets confined their view in the Old Testament, or saw
therein other things.
