Let U be an open subset of B and s:U→EFs: U\rightarrow E_{\mathscr{F}} a continuous section of EFE_{\mathscr{F}} over U. For every point aa of U, there exist an open set V∈BV\in \mathscr{B} such that a∈Va\in V and V⊂UV\subset U, and an element vv of F(V)\mathscr{F}(V) such that s∣V=σF(V,v)s|V =\sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V, v).

Let a∈Ua\in U. By definition of the space EFE_{\mathscr{F}}, there exist an open set V′∈BV'\in \mathscr{B} such that a∈V′a\in V' and an element tt of F(V′)\mathscr{F}(V') such that s(a)=[V′,t,a]s(a) = [V', t, a]. Then ss and σF(V′,t)\sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V', t) induce by restriction two continuous sections of EFE_{\mathscr{F}} over V′∩UV'\cap U which are equal at the point aa. By Prop. 11, b) of I, p. 34, there exists an open neighbourhood V of aa, contained in V′∩UV'\cap U, belonging to B\mathscr{B}, such that ss and σF(V′,t)\sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V', t) are equal at every point of V. If we put v=fVV′(t)v=f_{VV'}(t), we indeed have s∣V=σF(V,v)s|V =\sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V, v).

Let us prove the proposition. For every open set U of B and every section s∈F~(U)s\in \widetilde{\mathscr{F}}(U), let us denote by D(U,s)D(U, s) the set of pairs (V,v)(V, v) such that V∈B,V⊂U,v∈F(U)V\in \mathscr{B},V\subset U,v\in \mathscr{F}(U) and s∣V=σF(V,v)s|V =\sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V, v). It follows from the lemma that these open sets V form a covering of U.

If there exists a morphism ψ:F~→G\psi :\widetilde{\mathscr{F}}\rightarrow \mathscr{G} such that ψ∣B∘σF=φ\psi |\mathscr{B}\circ \sigma_{\mathscr{F}}=\varphi, then, for every open set U of B, every section s∈F~(U)s\in \widetilde{\mathscr{F}}(U) and every pair (V,v)∈D(U,s)(V, v)\in D(U, s), we have gVU(ψU(s))=ψV(s∣V)=φV(v)g_{VU}(\psi_U(s)) =\psi_V(s|V) =\varphi_V(v). This proves the uniqueness of ψ\psi by virtue of property (F1)(F_1) of sheaves.

Let U be an open set of B and ss an element of F~(U)\widetilde{\mathscr{F}}(U). Let (V,v)(V, v) and (V′,v′)(V', v') be elements of D(U,s)D(U, s). We have s(a)=[V,v,a]=[V′,v′,a]s(a) = [V, v, a] = [V', v', a] for every point a∈V∩V′a\in V\cap V'. There therefore exists a pair (W,w)∈D(V∩V′,s)(W, w)\in D(V\cap V', s) such that a∈Wa\in W and fWV(v)=fWV(v′)=wf_{WV}(v) =f_{WV}(v') =w. We then have

gW(V∩V′)∘g(V∩V′)V(φV(v))=gWV(φV(v))=φW(fWV(v))=φW(w) g_{W(V\cap V')}\circ g_{(V\cap V')V}(\varphi_V(v)) =g_{WV}(\varphi_V(v)) =\varphi_W(f_{WV}(v)) =\varphi_W(w)

and analogously,

gW(V∩V′)∘g(V∩V′)V′(φV′(v′))=φW(w) g_{W(V\cap V')}\circ g_{(V\cap V')V'}(\varphi_{V'}(v')) =\varphi_W(w)

whence

gW(V∩V′)∘g(V∩V′)V(φV(v))=gW(V∩V′)∘g(V∩V′)V′(φV′(v′)) g_{W(V\cap V')}\circ g_{(V\cap V')V}(\varphi_V(v)) =g_{W(V\cap V')}\circ g_{(V\cap V')V'}(\varphi_{V'}(v'))

By property (F1)(F_1) of sheaves, we therefore have

g(V∩V′)V(φV(v))=g(V∩V′)V′(φV′(v′)) g_{(V\cap V')V}(\varphi_V(v)) =g_{(V\cap V')V'}(\varphi_{V'}(v'))

By properties (F1)(F_1) and (F2)(F_2) of sheaves, there exists a unique element ψU(s)∈G(U)\psi_U(s)\in \mathscr{G}(U) such that one has:

(3) gVU(ψU(s))=φV(v)g_{VU}(\psi_U(s)) =\varphi_V(v) for every (V,v)∈D(u,s)(V, v)\in D(u, s).

Let ψU:F~(U)→G(U)\psi_U:\widetilde{\mathscr{F}}(U)\rightarrow \mathscr{G}(U) be the resulting mapping. It follows immediately from (3) that the family ψ=(ψU)\psi = (\psi_U) is a morphism of sheaves and that one has φV=ψV∘σF(V)\varphi_V=\psi_V\circ \sigma_{\mathscr{F}}(V) for every V∈BV\in \mathscr{B}.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
