CONFORMITY.
St. Basil, in his Canonical Epistles, has prescribed something of this kind; * 1.1 Our Fathers, saith he, have forbid to publish (that is to say, to make known to the People) the Women guilty of Adultery, whether they confessed it by a movement of Piety, or that they were in some sort convinced of it, for fear that being Con∣victed, we should expose them to danger of Death: But they have appointed that they should be deprived of the Communion, until such time as they should accomplish the time of Penance.
