Answer:
1. In the second sermon, Paneloux refers to the New Testament by comparing the suffering of the "earthly" father at the death of his child with God's suffering at the death of Christ. Paneloux says that the cross is the symbol, face to face, with the suffering child.
2. Paneloux dies, clutching a crucifix. His death, however, is less violent than a typical plague death, and his case is recorded as a "Doubtful case."
3 Soon thereafter, Paneloux falls ill, but he refuses to consult a doctor. His symptoms do not conform to those of the plague, so when he dies, Rieux marks him as a "doubtful case."
