agayne hath cōmytted deedly synne can without the same be saued or attayne euerlastyng lyfe Item that lyke as suche men whiche after baptisme do fal agayne into synne if they do not penaunce in this lyfe shall vndoubtedly be damned Euen soo whan soo euer the same men shall conuerte them selfe from theyr noughty lyfe and do suche penaunce for the same as Christe requireth of them they shal without doubte attayne remissyon of theyr synnes and shall be saued Item that the sacrament of perfyte penaunce which Christ requireth of suche maner persons consysteth of thre partes Wherof the one is Contricion the other is Confessyon and the thirde is the amendement of the former lyfe or the newe obedient reconsiliation vnto the lawes and wyll of god that is to say exteriour actes and workes of charitie accordynge as they be cōmaunded of god whiche be called in scripture Fructus digni penitencia The worthy fruites of penaunce Furthermore as touchynge Contrition Cōtritiō whiche is the fyrste parte we thynke it conueniente that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe the people commytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that the sayde contrition consistethe in two speciall partes whiche muste alwayes be conioyned togyther and can not be disseuered That is to say the penitent and contrite man muste fyrste knowledge the fylthines and abhomination of his owne synne vnto whiche knowledge he is brought by herynge and consyderinge of the wyll of God declared in his lawes and feelynge and perceyuynge in his owne conscience that god is angry and displeased with hym for the same he muste also conceyue not onely great sorowe and inwarde shame that he hath so greuously offended god but also great feare of goddis displeasure towardes hym consyderynge he hath no workes or merytes of his owne whiche he may wortily say before god as sufficient satisfaction for his synnes Whiche done than afterwarde with this feare shame and sorowe muste nedes succede and be conioyned the seconde parte that is to wytte a certayn faythe trust and confidence of the mercy and goodnes of god wherby the penitente muste conceyue certayne hope and faithe that god wyll forgyue hym his synnes and repute hym iustified and of the nombre of his electe chyldren not for the worthynes of any merite or worke done by the penitent but for the onely merites of the blode and passion of our sauyour Iesu Christe Item that this certayne faythe and hope is gotten and also confyrmed and made more stronge by the applyenge of Christis wordes and promyses of his grace and fauoure conteyned in his gospell and the sacramentes instituted by hym in the newe testament And therfore to attayne this certayne faythe the seconde parte of penaunce is necessarye That is to say Confession to a prieste yf it may be hadde For the absolution gyuen by the prieste was instituted of Christe to applye the promyses of goddis grace and fauour to the penytente Wherfore as touchynge Confession we thynke it conueniente that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people cōmytted vnto theyr spirituall charge that they oughte and muste certaynely beleue that the wordes of absolution pronounced by the prieste be spoken by the auctoritie gyuen to hym by Christe in the gospelle And that they ought and muste gyue no lesse faythe and credence to the same wordes of absolution so pronounced by the ministers of the churche than they wolde gyue vnto the veray wordes and voyce of god hym selfe yf he shulde speake vnto vs out of heuen Ioan. xx Luc. x. accordynge to the sayenge of Christe whose synnes soo euer you doo forgyue shall be forgyuen whose synnes soo euer you doo reteyne shall be reteyned And agayne in an other place Christe saythe Luc. x. who so euer hereth you hereth me Item that the people may in no wyse contemne this auricular confession whiche is made vnto the mynysters of the churche but that they oughte to repute the same as a veray expedient and necessary meane wherby they maye require aske this absolution at the priestes handes at suche tyme as they shal fynd theyr consciēces greued with mortal synne haue occasion so to do to thintent they maye therby attayn certayne comforte and consolation of theyr consciences As touchynge the thyrde parte of penaunce we thynke it conueniente that all bysshoppes and preachers shall instructe and teache the people cōmitted vnto theyr spirituall charge that althoughe Chryste and his deathe be the sufficient oblation sacrifice satisfaction and recompense for the whiche god the father forgyueth and remytteth to all synners not onely theyr synnes but also eternall peyne due for the same yet all men truely penitente contryte and confessed muste nedes also brynge forthe the fruites of penaunce That is to saye prayer fastynge and almes dede with moche mournynge and lamentyng for theyr synnes before commytted And they muste also make restitution or satisfaction in wyll and dede to theyr neyghbours in suche thynges as they haue done them wronge and iniurie in And fynally they muste do all other good workes of mercye and charitie and expresse theyr obediente wyll in the executynge and fulfyllynge of goddis commaundement outwardely whan tyme power and occasion shall be ministred vnto them or elles they shall neuer be saued For this is the expresse precepte and comaundemente of god Luc. iii. Rom. viii Do you the worthy frutes of penaunce And sayncte Paule saythe Lyke as in tymes paste you haue gyuen and applyed youre selues and all the membres of your bodyes to all fylthy lyuynge and wyckednes contynually encreasynge in the same In lyke maner you be nowe bounde and muste gyue and apply your selfes holly to iustice encreasynge contynually in puretye and cleannes of lyfe And in an other place he sayth i. Cor. ix I chastyse and subdue my carnall body and thaffections of the same and make them obediente vnto the spirite Item that these preceptes and workes of charitie be necessary workes to our saluation and god necessarily requireth that euery penitente man shall perfourme the same whan so euer tyme power and occasion shall be minystred vnto hym so to do Item that by penance and suche good workes of the same we shall not only obteyne euerlastyng lyfe but also we shal deserue remission or mitigation of the presente peynes and afflyctions whiche we susteygne here in this worlde For sainte Paule sayth i. Cor. ii That yf we wolde correcte and take punyshement of our selues in this worlde we shulde not be so greuously corrected of god Zach. i. And god by his prophete Zacharie saythe Tourne your selues vnto me and I wyll tourne agayne vnto you Esai xxviii And the prophete Esai sayth Breake and deale thy breade vnto the hungrye brynge into thy house the poore man and suche as want harboroughe whan thou seest a naked man gyue hym clothes to couer hym with and refuse not to succoure and helpe the poore and nedye for he is
