9 When the Lord gave the Israelites water in Rephidim, he named the place after their sin Mossa, and not after the miracle that he wrought, that they might both see his mercy, and be also put in mind of their sin. And this ought Magistrates to do in punishing sin. The Lord had often before forgiven them, and now when they had sinned most grievously he punished them, so as they might still perceive his mercy. So ⟨p. 741⟩ought the Magistrate to rebuke the people for their sin, and let them know it, yet so as1 they mingle mercy and love with justice. And this ought to be also in the discipline of the Church, all means must be used, and all kindness showed, so that the fault be reproved, before we come to the last means of excommunication.
