make_v his_o confession_n unperfect_a not_o discover_v all_o the_o fault_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v beside_o that_o the_o priest_n may_v join_v he_o such_o a_o penance_n that_o the_o party_n confess_v to_o accomplish_v may_v refuse_v and_o so_o may_v forsake_v all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n but_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v a_o word_n mere_o and_o peradventure_o say_v no_o more_o than_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o take_v the_o cause_n of_o confession_n to_o be_v this_o that_o priest_n be_v unmarried_a and_o be_v swear_v to_o do_v as_o the_o fore_n do_v to_o fast_o when_o he_o get_v no_o meat_n
