his_o evil_a life_n he_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o first_o gate_n by_o which_o he_o must_v pass_v be_v contrition_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o precious_a sacrifice_n that_o we_o be_v

of_o amendment_n in_o time_n to_o come_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o contrition_n be_v a_o detestation_n of_o sin_n above_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v hate_v in_o regard_n that_o it_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o almighty_a god_n and_o because_o god_n be_v offend_v as_o well_o with_o those_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o come_v as_o with_o those_o that_o be_v past_a therefore_o

the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v for_o that_o god_n create_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n upright_o and_o lift_v up_o unto_o himself_o by_o love_n but_o sin_n have_v crooked_a it_o and_o incline_v it_o

life_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o against_o charity_n but_o beside_o the_o same_o be_v a_o venial_a sin_n as_o idle_a word_n that_o hurt_v no_o man_n or_o some_o kind_n of_o little_a vain_a glory_n of_o anger_n of_o negligence_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o rule_n be_v more_o special_a to_o wit_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a to_o any_o one_o of_o the_o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n or_o of_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v a_o deadly_a sin_n but_o here_o it_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v note_v that_o that_o which_o be_v of_o his_o own_o nature_n a_o deadly_a sin_n may_v be_v a_o venial_a sin_n by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n either_o because_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o small_a importance_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v steal_v a_o pin_n or_o a_o point_n or_o because_o the_o work_n be_v imperfect_a by_o reason_n that_o it_o want_v a_o full_a consent_n as_o it_o may_v happen_v in_o evil_a thought_n without_o any_o consent_n give_v unto_o they_o but_o yet_o evil_a resist_v likewise_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o commandment_n be_v of_o three_o kind_n some_o be_v negative_a as_o thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v etc._n etc._n which_o do_v bind_v we_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o that_o be_v in_o every_o time_n and_o at_o all_o time_n other_o be_v affirmative_a as_o to_o give_v alm_n to_o have_v contrition_n for_o our_o sin_n &c_n &c_n and_o these_o do_v bind_v we_o ever_o but_o not_o in_o every_o time_n but_o in_o time_n of_o necessity_n and_o then_o we_o be_v bind_v of_o duty_n to_o do_v they_o there_o be_v other_o compound_v of_o both_o to_o wit_n of_o negative_n and_o affirmative_n as_o to_o restore_v other_o man_n good_n for_o this_o command_v to_o restore_v and_o also_o not_o to_o withhold_v our_o neighbour_n good_n and_o these_o commandment_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o observe_v they_o in_o both_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o wit_n ever_o and_o at_o all_o time_n a_o brief_a manner_n of_o confession_n for_o such_o as_o be_v wont_a to_o confess_v often_o chap._n vi_o many_o devoute_a person_n be_v sore_o vex_v &_o trouble_v with_o scruple_n because_o in_o examine_v their_o conscience_n they_o find_v not_o some_o time_n whereof_o to_o make_v their_o confession_n for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n they_o know_v and_o believe_v certeinlie_o that_o they_o be_v not_o without_o sin_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n at_o the_o time_n of_o confession_n they_o find_v they_o not_o they_o be_v in_o great_a perplexity_n and_o do_v full_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v never_o right_o confess_v of_o this_o we_o may_v gather_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n a_o very_a hard_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v himself_o and_o to_o understande_v through_o all_o the_o secret_a corner_n of_o his_o conscience_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o prophet_n say_v not_o in_o vain_a 18.13_o psalm_n 18.13_o who_n be_v he_o that_o know_v his_o sin_n deliver_v i_o o_o lord_n from_o my_o secret_a offence_n another_o be_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o just_a person_n of_o who_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v 24.17_o proverb_n 24.17_o uhat_o they_o fall_v seven_o time_n in_o the_o day_n be_v rather_o sin_n of_o omit_v then_o of_o commit_v which_o kind_n of_o sin_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v know_v for_o understanding_n whereof_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o all_o sin_n be_v commit_v by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n to_o wit_n either_o by_o way_v of_o commit_v that_o be_v by_o do_v some_o wicked_a thing_n as_o by_o rob_v kill_v etc._n etc._n or_o by_o way_v of_o omit_v that_o be_v by_o leave_v some_o good_a thing_n undo_v as_o for_o not_o love_v god_n not_o fast_v not_o pray_v &c._n &c._n now_o of_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o because_o they_o consist_v in_o do_v be_v very_o sensible_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v know_v but_o the_o second_o which_o consist_v not_o in_o do_v but_o in_o leave_v undo_v be_v much_o hard_a to_o be_v know_v because_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o have_v no_o mean_a to_o show_v itself_o wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o that_o spiritual_a person_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v simple_a do_v not_o find_v some_o time_n any_o sin_n whereof_o to_o accuse_v themselves_o for_o as_o these_o person_n fall_v not_o so_o often_o into_o those_o sin_n of_o commit_v of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v and_o the_o other_o which_o be_v of_o omit_v be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v hence_o it_o come_v that_o they_o know_v not_o whereof_o to_o confess_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o be_v so_o much_o vex_v wherefore_o for_o remedy_n of_o this_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o ordain_v this_o memorial_n for_o such_o person_n wherein_o be_v chief_o treat_v of_o this_o kind_n of_o sin_n which_o concern_v omit_v and_o because_o these_o sin_n may_v be_v either_o against_o god_n or_o against_o ourselves_o or_o against_o our_o neighbour_n therefore_o be_v this_o memorial_n divide_v into_o three_o part_n which_o do_v treat_v of_o these_o three_o kind_n of_o negligence_n and_o for_o this_o end_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o imperfection_n and_o venial_a sin_n whereof_o it_o ensue_v that_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v imperfection_n which_o be_v not_o sin_n as_o it_o chance_v when_o we_o leave_v to_o do_v some_o good_a work_n which_o we_o may_v have_v do_v to_o which_o wear_v not_o always_o bind_v for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o one_o may_v bestow_v more_o alm_n than_o he_o do_v and_o pray_v more_o than_o he_o pray_v and_o fast_o more_o than_o he_o fa_v and_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n and_o to_o leave_v these_o thing_n be_v not_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n because_o by_o do_v they_o a_o man_n may_v avance_v himself_o and_o profit_n much_o which_o he_o do_v not_o in_o leave_v they_o undo_v yet_o let_v no_o devout_a person_n leave_v to_o accuse_v himself_o for_o this_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o well_o because_o some_o time_n they_o may_v be_v venial_a sin_n as_o also_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o imperfection_n and_o so_o to_o humble_v himself_o before_o the_o vicar_n of_o god_n and_o to_o endeavour_n to_o get_v out_o of_o they_o howbeit_o this_o be_v not_o convenient_a to_o be_v do_v at_o all_o time_n but_o at_o certain_a time_n and_o especial_o upon_o principal_a feast_n to_o the_o end_n they_o weary_a not_o their_o ghostly_a father_n with_o their_o superfluous_a length_n but_o at_o any_o other_o ordinary_a time_n
