Note 105 — Chapter V · THE ‘PROVINCIAL LETTERS.’
Reading edition
The following genealogy, from a Jesuit source, represents not unfairly the origin of Jansenism and Port Royalism as a theological system: “Paulus genuit Augustinum; Augustinus Calvinum; Calvinus Jansenium; Jansenius Sancyranum; Sancyranus Arnaldum et fratres ejus.” The sequel will show how earnestly Pascal disclaims Calvinism.
