Last likeness: whoever feels a penalty laid on groans and longs for release. Those who seriously find and own this corruption in themselves likewise grieve hard and hate being chained by that evil. For such likenesses many writers have rightly named—and still name—that foul, dreadful evil a penalty.

Latin

Denique ut qui inflictam poenam sentit, ingemiscit, & ab ea liberari percupit; sic qui hanc in se corruptionem deprehendunt & agnoscunt serio, vehementer indolescunt & aegre ferunt se hujus mali vinculis illigari. Has ob similitudines merito tetrum istud & horrendum malum poena dici potuit & dicitur a multis.
