¶_o a_o treatise_n of_o confession_n for_o suche_n spiritvall_n person_n as_o freqvent_v this_o sacrament_n with_o a_o meditation_n for_o the_o most_o holy_a communion_n of_o the_o profit_n of_o

the_o least_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o a_o man_n have_v by_o this_o sacrament_n cleanse_v his_o soul_n from_o the_o filth_n of_o mortal_a sin_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v maintain_v it_o altogether_o pure_a that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n he_o wash_v also_o the_o foot_n of_o his_o affection_n from_o the_o dust_n of_o veriall_a sin_n now_o although_o the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o master_n who_o be_v the_o institutor_n of_o this_o sacrament_n aught_o of_o itself_o to_o suffice_v to_o move_v we_o to_o the_o frequent_v thereof_o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o judge_v it_o expedient_a amongst_o the_o many_o profit_n which_o do_v resulte_v thereof_o in_o our_o soul_n to_o write_v here_o a_o few_o that_o these_o also_o may_v move_v we_o

sufficient_a &_o entire_a wherefore_o he_o have_v also_o great_a security_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n &_o of_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god._n 2_o those_o which_o often_o do_v confess_v partly_o because_o they_o be_v late_o confess_v or_o short_o after_o be_v to_o return_v to_o confession_n partly_o also_o because_o of_o the_o continual_a purpose_n which_o they_o

they_o chance_v at_o any_o time_n to_o fall_v and_o more_o stout_o they_o fight_v and_o resist_v temptation_n 3_o by_o the_o frequent_v of_o this_o sacrament_n a_o man_n do_v always_o obtain_v great_a

as_o well_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o for_o that_o sensible_a pain_n of_o sorrow_n &_o of_o that_o confusion_n &_o shame_n which_o every_o one_o have_v in_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o a_o man_n so_o oft_o be_v confess_v &_o receive_v the_o sacramental_a absolution_n that_o at_o the_o length_n as_o say_v s._n thomas_n in_o the_o four_o book_n of_o
