Note 681 — Chapter I · THE ESSENTIAL DUTIES OF THE CONFESSOR IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS OFFICE; OR, THE CONFESSOR CONSIDERED IN HIS OFFICE OF JUDGE
Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation
S. Alph. Praxis conf. cp. 1, nn. 7 et 10. He says, very aptly: Perpauci sunt pœnitentes, præsertim rudes et magni peccatores, qui dolore et proposito prius elicito ad confessionem accedunt. Hos igitur quoad potest confessarius disponere fortiter et suaviter adlaboret.
