I. Verba unicomis.
I. Verba unicomis.
What has been done will be destroyed, and what has not been done will not be built up. Sin will also be examined in a person, and good will be perfected in just deeds, and through good reputation, it will return to another life. And I was considering whether other faults, or any similar ones that I had seen before, would appear here, but nothing similar was shown to me.
Read the original Latin
« Quae facta sunt destruentur, et non facta aedificabuntur.
Peccatum quoque in homine examinabitur, et bonum justis operibus in ipso perficietur, ac ipso bono rumore in aliam vitam redibit.» Et considerabam, si vitia alia, seu alia ulla his similia, quae prius conspexeram, hic apparerent et nihil istis simile hic mihi ostensum est.
