all_o this_o a_o man_n must_v presuppose_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n without_o which_o impossible_a it_o be_v to_o please_v god_n demand_n and_o what_o be_v attrition_n answer_n it_o be_v a_o sorrow_n that_o a_o sinnor_n have_v of_o his_o sin_n which_o be_v not_o found_v principal_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n or_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o foulness_n of_o sin_n or_o in_o some_o other_o the_o like_a thing_n you_o now_o understand_v the_o difference_n of_o contrition_n &_o attrition_n the_o contrition_n be_v found_v principal_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o attrition_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n or_o in_o some_o other_o the_o like_a thing_n demand_n but_o i_o desire_v further_o to_o understand_v if_o the_o sorrow_n to_o have_v offend_v god_n for_o fear_n of_o damnation_n or_o for_o the_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o consideration_n you_o have_v allege_v be_v good_a or_o ill_a answer_n no_o it_o be_v not_o ill_o but_o good_a and_o it_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o dispose_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o purchase_n of_o grace_n because_o it_o go_v accompany_v with_o the_o hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o with_o a_o purpose_n of_o amendment_n but_o yet_o such_o a_o sorrow_n be_v not_o perfect_a contrition_n because_o it_o have_v not_o so_o perfect_a a_o foundation_n as_o true_a contrition_n require_v and_o therefore_o such_o sorrow_n be_v call_v attrition_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o imperfect_a contrition_n demand_n if_o one_o shall_v confess_v himself_o actual_o and_o sacramental_o with_o attrition_n alone_o shall_v he_o obtain_v pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o shall_v he_o be_v put_v thereby_o into_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n again_o answer_n yea_o for_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o sinner_n of_o attrite_a become_v contrite_a and_o therefore_o among_o other_o reason_n it_o import_v much_o to_o go_v often_o to_o confession_n for_o as_o much_o as_o what_o attrition_n can_v effect_v by_o itself_o it_o effect_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confession_n demand_n of_o that_o which_o you_o say_v i_o conclude_v that_o to_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o i_o to_o do_v the_o act_n of_o attrition_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n to_o have_v a_o care_n to_o come_v often_o to_o confession_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v content_v i_o with_o it_o without_o further_a trouble_v myself_o to_o do_v the_o act_n of_o contrition_n which_o i_o think_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o do_v answer_n you_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o confess_v often_o as_o they_o do_v also_o well_o who_o do_v accustom_v to_o exercise_v the_o frequent_a act_n of_o contrition_n for_o though_o a_o man_n by_o do_v these_o act_n of_o contrition_n may_v obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n without_o go_v to_o confession_n though_o he_o must_v have_v a_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o at_o least_o when_o the_o precept_n bind_v he_o to_o go_v to_o confession_n yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o have_v true_a contrition_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o incertitude_n that_o there_o always_o be_v as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o life_n to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v true_o contrite_a or_o no_o a_o man_n must_v join_v contrition_n with_o frequent_a confession_n to_o be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o that_o which_o import_v we_o so_o much_o as_o be_v the_o act_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o how_o much_o more_o requisite_a than_o be_v it_o for_o he_o to_o go_v to_o confession_n who_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v any_o other_o sorrow_n then_o that_o of_o attrition_n or_o imperfect_a contrition_n wherefore_o touch_v that_o which_o you_o say_v a_o little_a before_o that_o you_o will_v content_v yourself_o by_o the_o make_n of_o the_o act_n of_o attrition_n alone_o you_o deceive_v yourself_o very_o much_o demand_n give_v i_o so_o i_o reason_n of_o that_o which_o you_o say_v and_o of_o my_o mastake_n if_o i_o be_v deceive_v answer_n i_o will_v do_v it_o very_o willing_o &_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o which_o i_o say_v be_v manifest_a for_o if_o by_o your_o own_o miscarriage_n you_o offend_v god_n mortal_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v your_o ghostly_a father_n always_o at_o hand_n to_o make_v your_o confession_n unto_o he_o present_o after_o you_o have_v sin_v and_o it_o may_v further_o happen_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v time_n to_o go_v to_o confession_n for_o you_o may_v die_v upon_o the_o sudden_a since_o none_o know_v what_o may_v befall_v he_o afterward_o or_o you_o may_v by_o some_o secret_a judgement_n of_o god_n be_v take_v away_o without_o confession_n and_o though_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o commodity_n to_o confess_v this_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o all_o to_o continue_v a_o enemy_n of_o god_n consider_v attrition_n alone_o though_o it_o shall_v go_v accompany_v with_o a_o purpose_n of_o confession_n make_v we_o not_o his_o friend_n and_o to_o loose_v all_o the_o principal_a merit_n of_o all_o the_o good_a work_n that_o you_o shall_v do_v from_o the_o time_n that_o you_o have_v offend_v god_n virtill_a the_o time_n you_o shall_v go_v to_o confession_n and_o
