Contarini: our inherent justice is inchoate and imperfect

Milder Romans (Contarini, Paris-approved) frankly call inherent justice inchoate and imperfect.

It cannot keep us from often offending.

Latin

XXX. Atque hi quidem loquuntur ac docent rigidiores ex Pontificiis. Sed qui sunt inter eos aequiores, rotunde, simpliciter, & aperte fatentur justitiam quae nobis inhaeret tenuem, inchoatam, & imperfectam esse. Quo de numero in primis est Cardinalis Con-tarenus: is enim Tractatu de Justificatione, anno 72. superioris saeculi, post Conci-lium Tridentinum edito; idque cum approbatione Doctorum regentium Theologicae facultatis Parisiensis, clare & expresse docet & inculcat justitiae fidelibus inhaerentis im-perfectionem. Haec nostra justitia, inquit, est inchoata & imperfecta, quae tueri nos non potest quin in multis offendamus, quin assidue peccemus.
