The edition used in this translation is the Parma, edited by P. Mandonnet,

O. P., "Opuscula Omnia" (Lethielleux, Paris, 1927). Where the Vives edition

is used, the change is noted in the footnotes. The edition of the "Roman

Catechism" (Catechism of the Council of Trent) used in the commentary is

"Catechismus Concilii Tridentini ad Parochos," Romae, Ex Typog. Polyglotta,

S. Cong. de Prop. Fide, 1891. To Reverend E. A. Connolly, S. S., for

reading the manuscript and for many helpful suggestions the Translator is

very grateful.
