I. On Repentance.

[8420] [We pass from the polemical class of our author’s writings to those of a practical and ethical character. This treatise on Penitence is the product of our author’s best days, and may be dated a.d. 192.]

Chapter I.—Of Heathen Repentance.

[8421] “Offensa sententiæ pejoris;” or possibly, “the miscarriage of some,” etc.

[8422] Thesaurus.

[8423] Sæculo. [Erasmus doubted the genuineness of this treatise, partly because of the comparative purity of its style. See Kaye, p. 42.]

Chapter II.—True Repentance a Thing Divine, Originated by God, and Subject to His Laws.

[8424] Sæculi dote. With which he had been endowed. Comp. Gen. i. 28; Ps. viii. 4-8.

[8432] Or, “defending.”

Chapter III.—Sins May Be Divided into Corporeal and Spiritual. Both Equally Subject, If Not to Human, Yet to Divine Investigation and Punishment.

[8434] Luke xxii. 61.

[8435] Or, “briefly to lay down the rule.”

[8436] i.e., in the judgment-day. Compare the phrase “that day and that hour” in Scripture.

[8439] Matt. v. 27, 28; comp. de Idol. ii.

Chapter IV.—Repentance Applicable to All the Kinds of Sin. To Be Practised Not Only, Nor Chiefly, for the Good It Brings, But Because God Commands It.
