Also to make restitution, if wrong were done to any other, with a fifth part above the principal. And for further satisfaction to God they must offer sacrifice. All which did plainly prefigure & foreshew the necessity of particular confession of sins, and satisfaction, in the Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ Joan. 20.
