T376. Indulgences concerns acts of leniency in this sentence; the wording does not identify ecclesiastical indulgences. The plural acts and singular denial remain.
T377. The opening remains infinitival, its future remains will not, and shared is distinct from communicated. Warmth/cold retains the emotional and physical analogy without supplying a recipient.
T721. Complete 20 remains. Both initial negative infinitive and future passive negation, then the nothing-colder comparison and final passive negation remain. The complete n’est at the right edge retains its letters despite shadow. A dark centered separator precedes the date; a second much fainter star-like form appears level with/below it in the color witness. Its foreground-print versus show-through status is uncertain. The map’s extra visible mark is recorded without inventing an empty entry or another paragraph; the date stays attached here.
T378. Always, must and the restriction only remain. Guardianship keeps tutèle ’s image of dependence. Neutral said does not add a claim of repeated speech. Henry IV remains the source’s attribution; no separate quotation or exact historical locus is supplied. The capital King follows the source.
T722. Capital Roi , toujours , the restrictive ne...que with reflexive infinitive, Henry with y and Roman IV remain. The attribution has both commas. The right-edge en is complete; no historical statement is authenticated by this literal collation.
T379. The three terms and proof/clarification distinction remain. Repeated provide echoes the repeated font , with the two nominal complements proof and clarification rendering preuve and éclaircissement ; the examples are not treated as evidence in themselves.
T380. The completed movement toward a restriction and the final no longer remain. Only renders ne plus aimer que without making the passage say that all love has ceased.
T381. Little and greatness retain the pointed contrast. Only, others and the repeated speaking remain; the last it refers to greatness, without identifying the people.
T382. The first change is transitive and the second means passing into a different age. English adds the connective and to express the source comma’s consequence; siècle remains repeated as age rather than being assigned a numbered century.
T726. Complete 27 remains. The imperative, future and contrasting direct/prepositional century constructions remain.
T383. All three rule terms, both of-those groups, the parenthesis and the final alternative remain. Their is an idiomatic English complement, not an assertion that the rule belongs to them. The whole remains nominal.
T727. Both nominal De constructions, three règle forms, semicolon, parenthetic alternative and final ou remain. The restric-/tion wrap is complete.
T384. The infinitive and both enough terms remain. Master keeps maître ’s possible teacher or governing superior; docility retains readiness to yield or obey, without forcing a particular institution. The repeated French assés with final s remains literal.
T385. Both source parentheses remain in their corresponding positions. Disobedience renders indocilité in the context of children, keeping its relation to the preceding docility; the assertion remains Joubert’s. Literal abbrège retains its doubled b in French.
T386. The infinitive, purpose and repeated air remain. The English abstract nouns preserve a claim about appearance rather than equating actual depth with actual obscurity.
T387. Song/sings, cadence/cadences and memory/recollection remain distinct. English supplies and between maxims and laws, which French separates by a comma; the final verb is left unexpressed as in the source.
T731. Loix retains x and symmétries has double m . The recounting/singing contrast, repeated cadence forms and elliptical final clause remain; no verb is supplied after souvenir . The et/mémoire left starts are identifiable foreground print despite adjacent ghosting.
