Local councils, NPNF II.14

Chapter 2

They who have sinned in divers particulars, if they have persevered in the prayer of confession and penance, and are wholly converted from their faults, shall be received again to communion, through the mercy and goodness of God, after a time of penance appointed to them, in proportion to the nature of their offence.

Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon II

Those who have fallen unto various faults and have confessed them with compunction, and done the penance suitable to them, shall be favourably received.
