Facinora ostendi dum punientur, flagitia autem abscondi debent." A sentence of Latin, as Eustace had before observed, had often much influence on the Abbot, because he understood it not fluently, and was ashamed to acknowledge his ignorance. On these terms they parted for the night. The next day, Abbot Boniface strictly interrogated Philip on the real cause of his disaster of the previous night.
Distinctio poenarum ex delicto: proditores et transfugas arboribus suspendunt; ignavos et imbelles et corpore infames coeno ac palude, injecta insuper crate, mergunt. Diversitas supplicii illuc respicit, tanquam scelera ostendi oporteat, dum puniuntur, flagitia abscondi.
The apostles came forth amongst the Gentiles under no other name than that of Jews, which was precisely the character they despised and derided.

For my own part, I prefer the conjectural emendation of the Bipontine editors who, giving up as hopeless the corrupted passage, edit "quod incestae uxoris flagitia dissimu lavisset," which, if not precisely what was written, carries with it the recommendation of being intelligible, and doing away with the unmeaning cis.
Guen. includes both ideas: quocunque, non tantum venereo, corporis abusu contempti. Insuper==superne. So 16: multo insuper fimo onerant. Diversitas is a post-Augustan word, cf. Freund, sub v.
