POPPYSMA.--Oris pressi sonus, similis illi quo permulcentur equi et canes. Obscene vero de susurro cunni labiorum, quum frictu madescunt. Father Sinistrari, well versed in classical literature, had turned to account the following epigram of Martial (book VII, 18): IN GALLAM Quum tibi sit facies, de qua nec fœmina possit Dicere, quum corpus nulla litura notet; Cur te tam rarus cupiat, repetatque fututor, Miraris? Vitium est non leve, Galla, tibi. Accessi quoties ad opus, mixtisque movemur Inguinibus, cunnus non tacet, ipsa taces. Di facerent, ut tu loquereris, et ipse taceret! Offendor cunni garrulitate tui. Pedere te mallem: namque hoc nec inutile dicit Symmachus, et risum res movet ista simul. Quis ridere potest fatui =poppysmata= cunni? Quum sonat hic, cui non mentula mensque cadit Dic aliquid saltem, clamosoque obstrepe cunno: Et si adeo muta es, disce vel inde loqui. (_Editorial Note._) 5. Quando igitur adessent talia indicia, sicut in recitata historia intervenerunt, posset utique in rigoroso examine rea constitui; sine tamen ejus confessione, non censendum est delictum plene probatum, quantumvis a testibus visus fuisset congressus; siquidem aliquando accidit, quod Diabolus, ut infamiam alicui innocenti pararet, præstigiose talem concubitum repræsentaverit. Unde in his casibus debet Judex Ecclesiasticus esse perfecte oculatus. 5. When, therefore, indications are forthcoming, such as those recited above, a charge might be brought after a searching inquiry; yet, without the confession of the accused, the offence should not be regarded as fully proved, even if the intercourse were testified by eye-witnesses; for it sometimes happens that, in order to undo an innocent female, the Devil feigns such intercourse by means of some delusion. In those cases, the Ecclesiastical Judge must consequently trust but his own eyes. [Illustration: Decoration] PŒNÆ Quantum ad pœnas =Dæmonialitatis=, nulla lex civilis, aut canonica, quam legerim, reperitur, quæ pœœnam sanciat contra crimen hujusmodi. Tamen, quia crimen hoc supponit pactum, ac societatem cum Dæmone, ac apostasiam a fide, ultra veneficia, atque alia infinita propemodum damna, quæ a Maleficis inferuntur, regulariter, extra Italiam, suspendio et incendio punitur. In Italia autem, rarissime traduntur hujusmodi Malefici ab Inquisitoribus Curiæ sæculari. PENALTIES
