what shall the woman do, if she repent and be so tempted in her flesh that she can not live chaste? verily I can show you nothing out of the scripture. The office of the preacher is, to preach the, x. commandments which are ⟨image 53⟩the law natural,1 and to promise them which submit them selves to keep them of love and fear of God, everlasting life for their labour through faith in Christ / and to threaten the disobedient with everlasting pain in hell. And this punishment is. if any man have offended through frailty, and when he is rebuked turn and repent, to receive him into grace and absolve him, and if any will not amend when he is rebuked / to cast him out among the infidels. This I say if the temporal power shut her up, as a convict person appointing her a sober living / to make satisfaction to the congregation for her damnable example, they did not a miss. It is better that one misdoer suffer then a common wealth to de corrupte.

It is better that one mysdoer suffer then a comen welthe to de corrupte.
