XXI. Quod Deus fideles hortatur ad poenitentiamy plagarum metu.
Therefore, the faithful are encouraged to heed His admonition and to take up repentance for their sins, because He reveals Himself to them through many miracles; otherwise, they will feel His plagues if they do not impose the measure of repentance with all the effort of their hearts.
Read the original Latin
Unde et fideles exhortatur, quatenus admonitionem ejus percipiant, et poenitentiam de peccatis suis arripiant, quia se ipsis in multis miraculis manifestat; alioquin plagas ejus sentiant, si poenitentiae modum toto annisu cordium suorum sibi non imposuerint.
