Excerpt from Histoire de la Réforme, de la Ligue, Et du Règne de Henri IV, Vol. 1
Le catholicisme est au moyen âge la force mo rale opposée à la force brutale de la conquête; ses miracles ses légendes, ne furent que la sym bolique d'un système qui, grandissant la faiblesse et la vertu, les opposait avec une auréole céleste à la violence territoriale des hommes d'armes brandissant leur puissant gantelet.
