Note 82 — LETTER I.
Thomas M'Crie translation
The book which occasioned these disputes was entitled Augustinus, and was written by Cornelius Jansenius or Jansen, bishop of Ypres, and published after his death. Five propositions, selected from this work, were condemned by the pope; and armed with these, as with a scourge, the Jesuits continued to persecute the Jansenists till they accomplished their ruin.
