If he had authored them himself, severe punishment would have been imposed, but since the above circumstances were established, the person in question was not penalized. However, it was ordered that such unusual matters should not be spread in the future. If there were unavoidable circumstances, one should consult with magistrate officials and obtain their guidance. This was to be strictly announced.
