hierome_n advise_v we_o to_o be_v very_o respective_a of_o venial_a sin_n and_o not_o to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v but_o small_a but_o to_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v great_a and_o omnipotent_a who_o 3._o rom._n 3._o 1._o first_o because_o according_a to_o s._n paul_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v ensue_v thereof_o 2._o second_o because_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n what_o do_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o suffer_v loss_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v gain_v nothing_o 3._o three_o because_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o love_v his_o soul_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v the_o least_o injury_n unto_o it_o to_o procure_v the_o

be_v create_v be_v to_o see_v and_o behold_v god_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o commit_v one_o act_n to_o gain_v the_o whole_a world_n that_o shall_v hinder_v we_o from_o that_o end_n the_o which_o be_v cause_v by_o every_o venial_a sin_n 5._o five_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o commit_v any_o act_n where_o with_o god_n may_v be_v offend_v or_o displease_v not_o only_o to_o save_v the_o whole_a world_n but_o not_o to_o save_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o world_n but_o a_o venial_a sin_n do_v displease_v god_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n offend_v he_o for_o which_o cause_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o commit_v it_o although_o there_o be_v many_o that_o that_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o take_v a_o false_a oath_n to_o save_v a_o man_n life_n cardinal_n caietan_n in_o his_o sum_n say_v

thereby_o withdraw_v his_o care_n which_o he_o have_v of_o he_o and_o refuse_v to_o preserve_v he_o from_o many_o peril_n who_o be_v careless_a and_o negligent_a to_o do_v himself_o good_a which_o be_v a_o thing_n high_o to_o be_v consider_v s._n catherine_n of_o sienna_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o her_o life_n use_v to_o say_v that_o a_o sin_n be_v it_o never_o so_o small_a do_v much_o offend_v god_n if_o it_o be_v often_o commit_v and_o do_v with_o contempt_n and_o especial_o when_o a_o man_n grow_v negligent_a by_o contrition_n and_o penance_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o it_o s._n bridget_n affirm_v have_v it_o reveal_v unto_o she_o that_o venial_a sin_n be_v oft_o commit_v &_o contemn_v do_v greveous_o offend_v almighty_a god_n and_o that_o oftentimes_o he_o punish_v they_o severe_o who_o offend_v in_o this_o manner_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o avoid_v venial_a sin_n we_o have_v show_v before_o out_o of_o taulerus_n seven_o several_a cause_n why_o we_o we_o shall_v avoid_v venial_a sin_n to_o which_o we_o may_v adjoine_v these_o six_o that_o follow_v 1._o first_o for_o that_o they_o hinder_v the_o devotion_n of_o mental_a prayer_n 2._o they_o keep_v we_o back_o from_o profit_v in_o spiritual_a perfection_n 3._o they_o displease_v and_o offend_v almighty_a god_n and_o debar_v we_o from_o perfect_a fulfil_a his_o divine_a pleasure_n 4._o they_o deprive_v we_o of_o many_o spiritual_a gift_n with_o the_o which_o otherwise_o we_o have_v be_v endue_v if_o they_o have_v not_o hinder_v for_o they_o be_v like_o little_a thief_n who_o by_o degree_n steal_v from_o we_o many_o thing_n who_o theft_n although_o we_o find_v it_o not_o at_o the_o first_o by_o reason_n that_o they_o take_v from_o we_o but_o little_a at_o once_o yet_o the_o end_n show_v their_o theft_n when_o we_o find_v in_o time_n that_o we_o have_v lose_v much_o so_o we_o not_o refrain_v from_o venial_a sin_n although_o at_o the_o first_o we_o perceive_v no_o loss_n yet_o in_o time_n shall_v we_o find_v our_o damage_n not_o small_a be_v make_v thereby_o destitute_a of_o many_o spiritual_a benefit_n 5._o they_o infect_v our_o soul_n and_o make_v they_o subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n they_o be_v also_o like_o small_a wound_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o our_o body_n which_o although_o they_o be_v not_o deadly_a yet_o do_v they_o annoy_v we_o and_o hinder_v our_o health_n as_o therefore_o we_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o heal_v such_o wound_n so_o ought_v we_o not_o less_o to_o be_v mindful_a to_o cure_v our_o soul_n of_o such_o offence_n 6._o they_o hinder_v we_o that_o we_o can_v perfect_o behold_v and_o love_v almighty_a god_n as_o dust_v cast_v into_o our_o eye_n do_v hinder_v our_o corporal_a sight_n that_o venial_a sin_n be_v most_o dangerous_a to_o those_o that_o frequent_a the_o b._n sacrament_n the_o doctor_n and_o chief_o tabiena_n in_o his_o sum_n do_v teach_v that_o when_o a_o man_n will_v not_o refrain_v from_o little_a sin_n or_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o b._n sacrament_n with_o a_o actual_a intention_n or_o affection_n to_o some_o venial_a sin_n that_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o a_o effect_n of_o sacramental_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a s●●ite_n of_o this_o sacrament_n for_o sacramental_a grace_n be_v a_o certain_a spiritual_a sweetness_n which_o increase_v devotion_n and_o weaken_v our_o inclination_n to_o vice_n and_o this_o sweetness_n be_v learn_v rather_o by_o experience_n then_o by_o any_o other_o science_n which_o thing_n ought_v high_o to_o be_v esteem_v to_o the_o end_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v preserve_v our_o devotion_n and_o hence_o it_o procee_v that_o many_o although_o they_o frequent_v the_o b._n sacrament_n yet_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o this_o spiritual_a sweetness_n that_o some_o which_o be_v give_v to_o spiritual_a exercise_n do_v yet_o nevertheless_o not_o profit_v therein_o because_o they_o little_a account_n of_o venial_a sin_n a_o certain_a learned_a man_n demand_v why_o man_n do_v not_o profit_v in_o spiritual_a exercise_n answer_v that_o one_o principal_a reason_n be_v for_o that_o they_o account_v not_o of_o venial_a sin_n and_o s._n bernard_n say_v that_o spiritual_a man_n ought_v to_o have_v great_a regard_n of_o venial_a sin_n add_v that_o such_o man_n ought_v as_o careful_o to_o avoid_v they_o as_o other_o man_n ought_v to_o refrain_v from_o mortal_a that_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o neglect_v venial_a sin_n proceed_v of_o want_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 19_o eccl._n 19_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v he_o that_o regard_v not_o small_a thing_n shall_v by_o degree_n fall_v 7._o eccl._n 7._o and_o again_o he_o that_o fear_v god_n neglect_v nothing_o he_o therefore_o that_o fear_v god_n must_v not_o neglect_v his_o venial_a

be_v subvert_v which_o be_v thy_o soul_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v contristate_v by_o venial_a sin_n saint_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o ephesian_n say_v do_v not_o contristate_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o what_o do_v contristate_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o not_o to_o account_v of_o our_o venial_a sin_n whereby_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v as_o it_o be_v debar_v that_o he_o can_v work_v in_o we_o according_a as_o he_o will_v for_o even_o as_o mortal_a sin_n do_v absolute_o drive_v he_o from_o we_o so_o do_v venial_a sin_n contristate_n and_o offend_v he_o the_o opinion_n of_o ludovicus_n granatensis_n concern_v venial_a sin_n lvdovicus_fw-la granatensis_n do_v account_n one_o principal_a impediment_n of_o prayer_n to_o be_v the_o little_a reckon_n that_o we_o make_v of_o venial_a sin_n for_o that_o as_o enamel_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o brass_n but_o to_o gold_n so_o the_o most_o precious_a enamel_n of_o devotion_n towards_o god_n can_v harbour_v or_o dwell_v but_o in_o a_o hart_n pure_a and_o free_a from_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n he_o add_v further_a that_o as_o mortal_a sin_n be_v the_o perdition_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o venial_a sin_n to_o be_v as_o a_o fever_n or_o dangerous_a sickness_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o which_o cause_n as_o a_o man_n do_v noth_z fear_v only_o death_n but_o also_o the_o least_o distemper_n that_o may_v happen_v to_o his_o

we_o shall_v kill_v a_o little_a bird_n and_o venial_a sin_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v clip_v her_o wing_n that_o she_o can_v not_o fly_v or_o mount_v aloft_o as_o before_o she_o be_v accustom_v and_o
