Evangelical equity: precise duty to quit mortal sins; not to live without every lightest fault
Even under gospel equity: quit ‘mortal’ sins in act—repent and stay clear (John 5:14).
Living without every lightest ‘venial’ slip is degrees-perfection, not the precise life-condition.
Latin
XLI. Unde colligit fideles, etiam secundum epieikeian Evangelicam, stricte & praecise, sub periculo aeternae mortis obligari ad vivendum sine omnibus illis peccatis, quae mortalia vocantur. Quoniam ad perfectionem partium attinet, ut non solum de peccatis illis gravioribus poenitentiam agamus, sed etiam ut ab iis omnino abstineamus, hoc est, ut in posterum ea non committamus; juxta illud Christi, Ecce sanus factus es, ne pecca amplius. At non sic obligari, ut vivant in posterum sine omni peccato, etiam levissimo. Quoniam vivere sine levioribus illis peccatis, quae venialia vocantur, pertinet ad per-fectionem graduum, quae omnes obedientiae humanae naevos & defectus excludit.
