But if they should be suffered, say they, there is some hope of their conversion. For Christ saith: Harlots and publicans shall go before you in the kingdom of god.1 But let them tell me, whither they can by no other means be revoked into the right way, then to be borne withal? It is true indeed that Christ said: Harlots and publicans shall go before you in the kingdom of God. But he understandeth not Harlots as long as they be harlots and are not converted. For what cause then is it said that they shall go before the Pharisees & Scribes in the kingdom of God? because they being converted, do acknowledge and bewail their sins: but the Pharisees & Scribes regarded not their wicked acts, but would seem to be most holy. If harlots should be suffered because they may be converted, then shall there be no sin so grievous which ought to be punished: ⟨p. 233⟩for there is none so far past grace, but there is some hope that he may be revoked into the right way: and so all laws shall sleep.
But if they shoulde be suffred, saye they, there is some hope of theyr conuersion. For Christ sayth: Harlots and publicanes shal go before you in the kingedome of god.1 But let them tel me, whither they can by no other meanes be reuoked into the right way, then to be borne withal? It is true indede that Christ sayd: Harlots and publicanes shall go before you in the kingdome of God. But he vnderstandeth not Harlots as long as they be harlots and ar not conuerted. For what cause then is it said that they shal go before the Phareseis & Scribes in the kingdom of God? bicause they being conuerted, do acknowledge and bewaile theyr sinnes: but the Phariseis & Scribes regarded not their wicked actes, but would seme to be moste holy. If harlots should be suffred bicause they may be conuerted, then shal ther be no sinne so greuous which ought to be punished: ⟨p. 233⟩for there is none so farre past grace, but there is some hope that he may be reuoked into the right way: and so al lawes shall sleepe.
