1. Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said Poenitentiam agite, willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance. It means that everyone who believes in God should repent of their sins. 2. This word cannot be understood to mean sacramental penance, i.e., confession and satisfaction, which is administered by the priests. It means that there will always be bad times in this world. 3. Yet it means not inward repentance only; nay, there is no inward repentance which does not outwardly work divers mortifications of the flesh. It means you need to repent all every sin you have even the deep ones. 4. The penalty [of sin], therefore, continues so long as hatred of self continues; for this is the true inward repentance, and continues until our entrance into the kingdom of heaven. It means that everyone will continue to sin until the kingdoms come. 5. The pope does not intend to remit, and cannot remit any penalties other than those which he has imposed either by his own authority or by that of the Canons. It means you cannot go to jail for sinning. 6. The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring that it has been remitted by God and by assenting to God's remission; though, to be sure, he may grant remission in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in such cases were despised, the guilt would remain entirely unforgiven. You cannot go to jail unless God tells someone. 7. God remits guilt to no one whom He does not, at the same time, humble in all things and bring into subjection to His vicar, the priest. It means God will forgive you from you sins if you ask him. 8. The penitential canons are imposed only on the living, and, according to them, nothing should be imposed on the dying. It means if you are with God when you die than than no one will blame you. 9. Therefore the Holy Spirit in the pope is kind to us, because in his decrees he always makes exception of the article of death and of necessity. It means the pope is good to the people. 10. Ignorant and wicked are the doings of those priests who, in the case of the dying, reserve canonical penances for purgatory. It means that the people who don’t like God will go to hell.
