Note 190 — BOOK XII.
William Robson translation
In a dissertation upon the cardinal de Courçon, M. du Theil has undertaken to make the apology of Innocent III. We have the greatest respect for this savant; but he evinces too strong an inclination to justify Innocent in all respects; and an application of the common proverb, “He who proves too much proves nothing,” is quite in place here.
