jesus_n how_o just_a be_v it_o that_o i_o now_o confess_v the_o excess_n of_o your_o love_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o mercy_n which_o you_o show_v i_o for_o you_o be_v not_o satisfy_v in_o purchase_v

the_o confusion_n and_o contempt_n which_o our_o crime_n have_v merit_v beg_v of_o he_o the_o spirit_n and_o gift_n of_o penance_n to_o the_o end_n take_v part_n in_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o
