It is not truth that saves us, it is faith; but theologians, who ought to confine themselves to teaching us that faith, insist on proving to us that they teach the truth. The written word (Bossuet said), tradition; and he thought he had said everything without arguing further.
T92. Truth/faith and the obligation to confine teaching retain their contrast. Insist conveys veulent absolument without inventing a successful proof. The written word and tradition remain nominal authorities; no verb or extra conjunction is inserted between them. The separating comma after the parenthesis is English punctuation, not a claimed source mark. The neutral attribution imperfect and his judgment that everything had been said remain without authenticating a particular Bossuet text. Bossuet is the ordinary English name for the source’s literal Bossuët , whose paired upper marks remain in French.
T477. The negative cleft, repeated faith/truth terms, modal devroient , absolutely and plural theological subject remain. L’écrit and la tradition retain their compressed relation around the parenthetic report without a supplied conjunction or finite verb. Disoit and croyoit remain imperfect; the perfect infinitive, tout and sans argumenter remain. Bossuët retains paired upper e components at the qualified color level. The théo-/logiens , abso-/lument and da-/vantage wraps are complete; the opening words remain identifiable foreground despite show-through. All text is roman.
