The Ancient Christians were wont to keep Sinners under Penance more or less, according to the nature of the Crimes whereof they were guilty; all the Canons which treat of this matter, confirm it; and one may only read them to find this difference; the time of Penance of some being incomparably longer than of others, be∣cause their Sins were more enormous and heinous; and as to be hardned in Sin makes it more criminal; so also they failed not to augment the punishment in pro∣longing the time of Penance, sometimes even to the hour of Death, even after the time that some mitiga∣tion had been made to the first Discipline in regard of some Sins which in several places were excluded from all hope of Pardon in the bosom of the Church, as is made appear by the 16th Canon of the Synod of Ancyra, in the year 314.
