[18] P. 13, l. 8. _Le Maître._--A famous French advocate in Pascal's time. His _Plaidoyers el Harangues_ appeared in 1657. _Plaidoyer VI_ is entitled _Pour un fils mis en religion par force_, and on the first page occurs the word _répandre_: "_Dieu qui répand des aveuglements et des ténèbres sur les passions illégitimes._" Pascal's reference is probably to this passage.
