738:1
C ap. xxi, V ers. 2.— Audite quaeso sermones meos, g et agite poenitentiam. 40.

Sancti autem viri dum intra uni- versalem Ecclesiam non solum docere recta, sed etiam perversa tolerare parati sunt, irrideri non me- tuunt. Unde et subditur:

Chapter 21, Verse 2. — 'Hear, I pray you, my words, and do penance.' 40.

Now holy men, so long as within the universal Church they are prepared not only to teach what is right but also to bear with what is perverse, do not fear to be mocked. Whence also it is added:
