[Here] lies Blaise Pascal from Clermont-Ferrand, the son of Stephen Pascal, the president of the Supreme Counsel of Auxiliaries among the Auvergne. After several years lived in very severe seclusion and in meditaiton on the Divine Law, he happily and piously finished his life in the peace of Christ in the year 1662, at the age of 39, on the 19th of August. Indeed he would have wished, on account of his zeal for poverty and humility, that he would lack even these honors of a sepulchre, and to be hidden also when he was dead, as he had wished to be hidden while he was alive. But since Florinus Perier, the most beloved husband of Gilberta Pascal, the sister of Blaise Pascal, a counsellor in the same Counsel of Auxiliaries, could not yield to his prayers in this regard, he erected this tablet in order to express his own loving duty towards him by it and to exhort Christians to the Christian duties of prayers which they should offer for him and for the deceased.
