Sect. 2. of the second part of Contrition This is a point much to be noted because it is greatly to be feared that many do amisse and fayle in this point by reason wherof their Confessions are voide It is a firme purpose no more to commit the said sinnes to fly the occasions of falling into them to satisfie those from whom one hath taken away ether goods or honor for as S. Aug. saith ep 54. ad Macedon The theft is not forgiuen vnles the thinge stolen be restored or at the least that one haue the will to restore it And that which is said of theft is also to be vnderstood of ones good name taken away by detraction EXAMPLES 1. Father Iohn Locinus a great diuine of the Societie of Iesus teaching at Paris related to a father of the same societie who since preached the same at Bruxells before their most excellent Hignesses to haue knowen a gentleman in Italie who for that he was a vsurer and coming to Confession would not leaue his sinfull vsuries could not be absolued nether of his Curat nor of the fathers of the Societie wherupon he went at the last and found forth a certaine Religious man who taxing the other of scrupulositie without any difficultie gaue him absolution as oft as he presented himselfe vnto him and by this meanes wonne the fauor of this gentleman and was almost day by day at his table Vpon a night they hauing well supped and made good cheere together the Religious man being retired into his monasterie this gentleman died sodainly And at the same time that he lay labouring for life two diuells in the shape of seruing men knockt at the gate of the monanasterie asked for this Religious led him to the house of the sick As they were come to the market place the Religious man espied the gentleman in his furred gowne walking in the moone light and supposing him self to be deceiued entring into choler with him selfe the gentleman said vnto him that he had indeed beene sick and that he was dead and damned for his vsuries for his prophaning of the Sacraments And because he insteed of reprehēding him as he was boūd had supported him in his sinne that it was but reason that he should be also punished with the like paine This said the two dissembled seruants caught betwixt their clutches the one the gentleman the other the Religious and were neuer seene since that day His companion remayned alone halfe dead who went and related the whole to the other Religious of his order See you by this most horrible exāple that it is not enough for one to confes his sinnes vnles he haue a will also neuer more to committ them and to restore the goods which one hath stolen §. 2. Of Confession Confession the second part of Penance is a secret accusation of all the sinnes which one remembreth after he hath duly examined him selfe made to a Priest to haue absolution Canisius We must carefully marke and consider all the circumstances I sayd an Accusation because it is not to confes whē one excuseth or diminisheth his sinnes or when one sayeth nothing vnles he be asked I sayd Secret to distinguish it from publique which was somtimes made in times past and to signifie that one ought to tell his sinnes in such sort that none may heare them but the Priest Of all for if you remember a hundred mortall sinnes and doe confes but nintie nine your confession is voide and you commit in doing this another most greeuous sinne of sacriledge What sinne can be more horrible then to set on his knees before the kinge and to make shew to aske him forgiuenes and to desire to enter againe into his amitie hauing offended him greuouslie not withstanding at the selfe same time that his pardon is pronounced to raise him selfe vpp against the Kinge tread him vnder his feete and to stab his poynard into his throate Thou doost this o sinner when thou concealest any mortall sinne in thy Confession How much more thinke you doth he deserue worse punishments which hath trodden the Sonne of God vnder foote and esteemed the blood of the Testament polluted wherin he is sanctified and ha●h done contumelie to the spirit of grace Heb. 10. 29. S. Amb. and Theophilact explicat this sentēce of those who approache vnworthely to the Sacraments What auayleth it the sick stabbed with diuers mortall woundes to discouer to the phisitian one or two if he conceale the others The confessar is a spiritual phisitian a who can heale thee infallibly prouided that thou discouer thee as thou oughtest That which is not discouered saith S.

There is no part of the body so shamfull which one discouereth not to saue life and shall the sinner dout to discouer the spirituall sicknes of his soule for his euerlasting health I haue said of his sinnes to giue to vnderstand that one must not reueale the sinnes of another Note further that they must be tould in particular and not in general which is a fault too too frequent and ordinarie in many persons To the priest for it is to the Priest to no other that God hath giuē power to pardon sinnes Ioan. 20. 23. EXAMPLES 1. A holy father saw vpon a certaine day the diuell make his circuit to all the seates of confession and asking him what he did there he replied that he restored to the penitents that which he had taken from them And being asked what it was I tooke quoth he all shame from them at the time they sinned that so they might sinne so much the more freely and now I restore it vnto them againe to the end they may not confes them In vitis patrum 2.
