9. [34] Gratie enim ille veniales tantum respiciunt penas
satisfactionis sacramentalis ab homine constitutas.
10. [35] Non christiana predicant, qui docent, quod redempturis
animas vel confessionalia non sit necessaria contritio.
11. [36] Quilibet christianus vere compunctus habet remissionem
plenariam a pena et culpa etiam sine literis veniarum sibi
debitam.
12. [37] Quilibet versus christianus, sive vivus sive mortuus,
habet participationem omnium bonorum Christi et Ecclesie etiam
sine literis veniarum a deo sibi datam.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Shadow Line by Joseph Conrad: "Skulking's no good, sir," he attacked me
directly. "You can't slink past the old murderous
ruffian. It isn't the way. You must go for him
boldly--as I did. Boldness is what you want.
Show him that you don't care for any of his
damned tricks. Kick up a jolly old row."
"Good God, Mr. Burns," I said angrily.
"What on earth are you up to? What do you
mean by coming up on deck in this state?"
"Just that! Boldness. The only way to scare
the old bullying rascal."
