to_o make_v a_o general_a confession_n of_o their_o life_n past_a as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o second_o part_n the_o six_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o instruction_n 2._o when_o after_o this_o

that_o sacrament_n afterward_o in_o the_o five_o part_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o mean_n to_o conserve_v the_o grace_n which_o one_o have_v receive_v by_o the_o sacrament_n and_o to_o persevere_v in_o a_o true_o holy_a and_o christian_a life_n and_o the_o instruction_n which_o follow_v concern_v communion_n may_v also_o serve_v for_o the_o same_o end_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o this_o
