Non minus peccant qui alios cogunt minis, terroribus, iuramentis vel praeceptis aut comminationibus ad peccatum quam qui mandant aliis aliquod committere crimen. Sed qui mandant aliis aliquod crimen committere consimili crimine involvuntur. Ergo qui cogunt alios ad peccatum quodcunque consimili peccato tenentur et per consequens qui cogunt alios pravitatem haereticam pertinaciter defensare sunt consimili pertinatia irretiti.

Comparatives with quam
In English, we make comparisons using the word “than,” as in “I'm taller than you.”

Latin has two ways of making a comparison:

• use the ablative (longior sum te)
• use quam and keep the cases the same (longior sum quam tu).

So above, we have

Non minus peccant qui alios cogunt ad peccatum quam qui mandant aliis aliquod committere crimen.

Using quam for comparisons makes complex comparisons like the above more readable than the ablative would.

Turn the given adjective/adverb into its comparative to make a comparative statement with quam.
