Excerpt from Jacqueline Pascal: Convent Life at Port Royal

But to the Christian, the crowning grace of Pascal's cha racter is the high, earnest, and absorbing zeal for God and his truth, that possessed and consecrated all his faculties and attainments, and gave the law to their action and influence. He laboured not for fame or power, but for Truth and its defenders. In that body of mighty and devout men, the Jansenists of France, were others not unworthy to share, by their force of intellect and power as writers, in Pascal's sym pathics and his tasks; whilst to some of them, for their simple, earnest, and consuming piety, even he looked up with reverence and docility.
