Note 34 — The Camacho Ecclesiastical Controversy, 1697–1700 (continued 2)
Reading edition
The whole sentence, divested of technicalities, simply means that one must “look before he leaps;” or that, when one has his eyes open, he is supposed to have used them; or that the bishop, should he be merely titular, would have no one to blame but himself, and should be the last to complain.—Rev. T. C. Middleton, O.S.A.
