Revision
Printed pp. 315-326. Transcribed from the CCEL ThML of NPNF2 X and collated word by word against the dated scan (Internet Archive selectlibraryofn0010phil_e1y3) before loading. Sections carry the edition's continuous numbering, which the Catechism cites by chapter and section. The print numbers two consecutive sections of chapter VIII "49." and has no 48; the first of them is section 48 here, its number in the critical text. Where a note is nothing but a scripture reference identifying the passage Ambrose quotes, that reference is kept as a link at the note's position. 1 reading in which the CCEL text departs from the print is corrected to it, each read off the page image.
