[375] P. 268, l. 26. _Montalte._--See note on page 6, line 30, above. [376] P. 269, l. 11. _Probability._--The doctrine in casuistry that of two probable views, both reasonable, one may follow his own inclinations, as a doubtful law cannot impose a certain obligation. It was held by the Jesuits, the famous religious order founded in 1534 by Ignatius Loyola. This section of the _Pensees_ is directed chiefly against them. [377] P. 269, l. 22. _Coacervabunt sibi magistros._
