    Omnis ætas vel intelléctus próprias debet habére mensúras. Ideóque quótiens púeri vel adulescentióres ætáte, aut qui minus intellégere possunt, quanta pœna sit excommunicatiónis, hii tales dum delínquunt, aut jejúniis nímiis affligántur aut acris verbéribus coerceántur, ut sanéntur.

    Every age and every stage of intellect ought to have its own appropriate degrees of discipline; and so as often as boys and youths and any who are hardly able to understand how great a punishment is that of excommunication commit faults, let all such be punished by means of rigorous fasts, or corrected with sharp stripes, that they may be cured.
