for_o they_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o some_o great_a penitent_n for_o secret_a fault_n will_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n submit_v to_o the_o public_a discipline_n but_o this_o be_v a_o voluntary_a

the_o case_n be_v not_o notorious_a every_o one_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o that_o both_o socrates_n 16._o and_o sozomen_n affirm_v be_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o

or_o whatever_o it_o be_v it_o seem_v evident_a to_o i_o that_o she_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o any_o public_a confession_n because_o sozomen_n say_v the_o penitentiary_n be_v choose_v for_o his_o
