They also said that when they go out and see changes in their houses, in their clothing and in their gardens or fields, and if the changes are for the worse, either they don't appear or appear dimly, or other things replace earlier ones, they know that they have done something wrong. Then, they said, they examine themselves, they search, and from this discover their evil and repent. When this is done, their prior appearance returns, and if they become better than before, then they appear better. Also, they especially explore such things from how they appear.

They also said, that, when they go out, and behold the changes in their houses, in their garments and in their gardens or fields - if the changes are for the worse, so that the objects either do not appear or appear obscurely, or if other things have succeeded in place of the former, they know they have done something evil; and that they then examine and investigate in themselves, and hence find out their evil and perform the work of repentance. When this is done, the former appearance of things returns; and, if they have become better than before, then the appearances are better. At such a time, they explore such a matter, principally from their faces.

Imprimis tum explorant tale ex faciebus illorum.
