[210] The French adds, “et la doit plustost augmenter, qu’amoindrir confirmer que viloer;”–and ought to augment rather than diminish, to confirm rather than violate it.

[213] The French is “D’avantage ce precepte s’estend jusques lˆ, que nous n’affections point une plaisanterie d’honnesteté et une grace de brocarder et mordre en riant les uns et les autres, comme sont aucuns, qui se bagnent quand ils peuvent faire vergogne ˆ quelqu’un: car par telle intemperance souventes fois quelque marque demeure sur l’homme qu’on a ainsi noté.”–Moreover, the commandment extends thus far: we must not affect a good-humoured pleasantry and grace in nicknaming, and with a smile say cutting things of others, as some persons do, who are delighted when they can make another blush: by such intemperance a stigma is often fastened on the individual thus attacked.

[219] See Book 3 chap. 4 sec. 28, where it is also shown that this is not the dogma of the Stoics–that all sins are equal.
CHAPTER 9. CHRIST, THOUGH KNOWN TO THE JEWS UNDER THE LAW, YET ONLY MANIFESTED UNDER THE GOSPEL.

[221] As to the agreement of both dispensations, see August. Lib. de Moribus Eccles. Lat., especially cap. 28.
[222] The French is, “Veu qu’ils pensent qu notre Seigneur l’ait voulu seulement engraisser enterre comme en une auge, sans seperance aucune de l’immortalité celeste;”–seeing they think that our Lord only wished to fatten them on the earth as in a sty, without any hope of heavenly immortality.

[229] Ps. 97:10-11; 112:9-10; 140:13; 112:6; 34:22.
