they_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o confess_v they_o and_o they_o may_v be_v forgive_v by_o only_a contrition_n and_o a_o sorrow_n for_o have_v commit_v they_o the_o reason_n which_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n give_v be_v because_o venial_a sin_n do_v not_o at_o all_o destroy_v sanctify_v grace_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a they_o shall_v come_v under_o the_o

be_v no_o necessity_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o profitable_a and_o wholesome_a to_o confess_v the_o venial_a sin_n for_o many_o reason_n 1._o because_o by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n they_o be_v pardon_v both_o with_o more_o certainty_n and_o more_o grace_n 2_o by_o confess_v they_o one_o learn_v better_a to_o know_v and_o correct_v they_o 3_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a mean_n to_o avoid_v mortal_a sin_n as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o one_o receive_v by_o the_o sacrament_n as_o also_o because_o he_o that_o have_v a_o care_n to_o cleanse_v his_o soul_n from_o lesser_a sin_n will_v be_v more_o solicitous_a and_o apprehensive_a how_o he_o fall_v into_o great_a according_a to_o that_o sentence_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o modico_fw-la fidelis_fw-la in_o

avoid_v scruple_n and_o disquiet_a or_o anxiety_n of_o mind_n a_o error_n which_o many_o commit_v who_o examen_fw-la themselves_z of_o their_o venial_a sin_n with_o the_o same_o trouble_n or_o

second_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o when_o they_o confess_v venial_a sin_n they_o always_o conceive_v a_o sorrow_n for_o have_v commit_v they_o and_o make_v a_o resolution_n to_o amend_v they_o without_o these_o two_o act_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o confess_v they_o they_o be_v not_o forgive_v although_o they_o receive_v absolution_n of_o their_o other_o sin_n whereof_o they_o have_v contrition_n nay_o and_o i_o tell_v you_o more_o that_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o one_o have_v no_o other_o but_o venial_a sin_n to_o confess_v and_o have_v not_o sorrow_n or_o remorse_n for_o any_o of_o they_o the_o absolution_n will_v be_v null_a and_o such_o a_o person_n will_v commit_v a_o sacrilege_n by_o reason_n the_o sacrament_n will_v want_v one_o of_o its_o essential_a

will_v to_o amend_v our_o venial_a sin_n i_o speak_v of_o a_o real_a and_o sincere_a will_n which_o may_v be_v effectual_a and_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a relapse_n as_o it_o frequent_o fall_v out_o you_o will_v say_v that_o this_o be_v very_o hard_a and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v without_o venial_a sin_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o it_o import_v you_o to_o observe_v it_o well_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o venial_a sin_n some_o which_o proceed_v from_o weakness_n other_o that_o be_v commit_v by_o inadvertency_n and_o surprise_v other_o which_o we_o call_v

and_o those_o that_o prohibit_v a_o evil_a command_v the_o contrary_a good_a for_o example_n the_o precept_n which_o command_v we_o to_o love_n god_n forbid_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o

and_o there_o be_v never_o a_o commandment_n against_o which_o one_o may_v not_o sin_n both_o by_o commission_n and_o omission_n this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v of_o great_a concern_v when_o one_o be_v
