LXXII. Quae magisier cavere debeat.
But a teacher who falls into malicious injury against good and just subordinates is like a wolf; he is condemned for stoning Stephen by the Jews. And he who afflicts the innocent and the holy, and thus takes away their good works through unjust plunder, is called a wolf; and he who has fellowship with the wicked and the delinquent by pretending not to see their wrongdoing is called a thief; therefore, let him be corrected by the faithful, lest he scatter the flock of the Lord. A good teacher should keep a watchful eye on his wayward students during the day and provide good care at night; he should praise those who work well with music from a harp and rejoice with the good and best students.
Read the original Latin
Sed magister qui cura dolosa injuria super bonos et justos sibi subditos cadit, Judaeis qui Stephanum lapidabant assirailatur; et qui innocentes et sanctos affligit, et ita bona opera eorura per iniqua spolia ipsis abstrahit, lupus nominatur; et qui cum vanis et delinquentibus pravitatem eorum dissimulando socielatem habet, quasi fur dicitur; unde a fidelibus corripiatur, •) ne gregem Domini dissipet.
Bonus autem magister praevaricantibus discipulis oculus in die et bona cura in nocte sit, ac bene operantes cum cithara laudet, et bonis ac optimis discipulis congaudeat.
