to_o imbecility_n howbeit_o we_o may_v otherwise_o answer_v that_o he_o prudent_o omit_v this_o because_o he_o will_v not_o sustain_v the_o person_n of_o a_o defender_n but_o of_o a_o intercessor_n it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o part_n to_o minish_v or_o extenuate_v sin_n he_o confess_v those_o thing_n to_o be_v noughtilie_o do_v for_o the_o which_o he_o entreat_v but_o he_o crave_v a_o remission_n furthermore_o they_o which_o commit_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v punishable_a by_o the_o public_a law_n know_v they_o to_o be_v sin_n mâ—n_z they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n can_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o phrentike_a mâ—n_z neither_o can_v they_o which_o be_v stir_v up_o with_o lust_n be_v compare_v as_o of_o some_o they_o be_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v frantic_a and_o out_o of_o their_o wit_n who_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v pity_v than_o punish_v for_o as_o yet_o reason_n reign_v in_o those_o man_n but_o in_o the_o other_o it_o be_v extinguish_v or_o else_o stop_v moreover_o the_o frantic_a person_n do_v not_o procure_v the_o evil_a unto_o themselves_o but_o they_o which_o obey_v lust_n do_v otherwhile_o stir_v they_o up_o they_o seek_v occasion_n they_o

the_o comparison_n be_v very_o unlike_a augustine_n to_o the_o first_o reason_n of_o augustine_n 10_o but_o because_o the_o reason_n of_o augustine_n under_o correction_n of_o so_o notable_a a_o man_n

pardonable_a as_o he_o term_v it_o when_o they_o have_v promise_n of_o amendment_n and_o also_o repentance_n join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o ought_v no_o long_a to_o be_v punish_v severelie_o unto_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o pardon_v which_o follow_v faith_n unto_o which_o be_v adjoin_v repentance_n be_v obtain_v of_o god_n and_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o civil_a judge_n who_o have_v respect_n to_o a_o thing_n already_o do_v not_o unto_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v present_a second_o to_o the_o second_o he_o add_v that_o the_o severity_n of_o law_n seek_v correction_n but_o that_o those_o man_n be_v correct_v by_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o that_o therefore_o nothing_o else_o must_v be_v any_o more_o wrest_a from_o they_o by_o violence_n but_o
