It will be remembered that the innovation of Abraham Ibn Daud and Maimonides in making Jewish philosophy more strictly Aristotelian than it had been consisted in a great measure in just this introduction of the Aristotelian proof of the existence of God as derived from the motions of the heavenly bodies. Levi ben Gerson's proofs are teleological rather than mechanical.
But I will write down in order how it came about. So early as at Martinmas I heard from Cousin Maud and my grand-uncle had told her that Herdegen had quitted Padua and that it was his intent to take the degree of doctor at Paris whither the famous Gerson's great genius was drawing the studious youth of all lands; and his reason for this was that a bloody fray had made the soil of Italy too hot for his feet.
Do not chide me for having said that we would go to Madame Gerson's. The more so, because she is a charming woman. Ah! when she speaks of you! 'So great a minister! Don't you know what she calls you? 'A Colbert!" Vaudrey could not restrain a smile. "Come, after that, one cannot refuse her invitation. It is the Monseigneur of the beggar," said he, kissing Adrienne's brow.
But so completely had the matter become a party question, and so great was the influence of the Duke of Burgundy, that the council could not be induced to go further than a general condemnation of the doctrine of lawful tyrannicide; and Gerson's activity in the matter provoked such ill-will that after the close of the council he could not venture to return to France, which was then completely under Burgundian and English domination.
"Stop! that's so. It is this evening in fact! He had forgotten it. Marianne, too, was not free. She was going, she said, to Auteuil for that bill of exchange. Vaudrey did not therefore, regret the soirée. His going to Madame Gerson's was now a matter of indifference to him. "As for me, I am so happy, oh! so happy!" said Adrienne, clapping her little hands like a child.
The admiring looks, the respectful salutes, the smiles of the women, the soft, caressing tones of Sabine, and Madame Gerson's pearly teeth, he saw or heard all these again, and above all, this word clear as a clarion, triumphant as a trumpet's blast: Success! All this came back again to him. "You have succeeded!" He heard Guy's voice again speaking this to him in joyous tones. Succeeded!

"No, I was thinking of something else," replied Vaudrey, who really was thinking of Marianne. Madame Vaudrey had not left Madame Gerson's salon before that pretty little Parisian whispered imprudently enough in the ear of a female friend: "Our ministers' wives are always from Carpentras, Pont-
"And when do we dine at Madame Gerson's?" "On Monday next; I shall have at least one delightful evening to see you," said the young wife sweetly. The minister entered his cabinet. Almost immediately after, a messenger handed him a card: Molina, Banker. "How strange it is!" thought Sulpice. "I had him in mind."
