¶_o a_o treatise_n of_o confession_n for_o suche_n spiritvall_n person_n as_o freqvent_v this_o sacrament_n with_o a_o meditation_n for_o the_o most_o holy_a communion_n of_o the_o profit_n of_o often_o confession_n chap._n 1_o howe._n great_a be_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confession_n &_o how_o great_a profit_n it_o bring_v unto_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a which_o with_o devotion_n do_v frequent_v it_o much_o better_a be_v prove_v by_o that_o which_o every_o one_o do_v try_v in_o himself_o than_o either_o can_v be_v exercise_v by_o word_n or_o declare_v in_o many_o volume_n wherefore_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n know_v very_o well_o the_o great_a necessity_n which_o we_o have_v of_o so_o wholesome_a a_o medicine_n will_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o life_n under_o the_o figure_n of_o wash_v his_o apostle_n foot_n leave_v it_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o last_o testament_n and_o by_o his_o example_n exhort_v we_o to_o use_v the_o same_o &_o this_o not_o only_o for_o remedy_n of_o mortal_a sin_n but_o also_o of_o venial_a for_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o same_o our_o lord_n when_o he_o say_v he_o which_o be_v wash_v need_v not_o but_o to_o wash_v his_o foot_n that_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o frail_a nature_n be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v long_o maintain_v itself_o without_o some_o spot_n of_o venial_a sin_n at_o the_o least_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o a_o man_n have_v by_o this_o sacrament_n cleanse_v his_o soul_n from_o the_o filth_n of_o mortal_a sin_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v maintain_v it_o altogether_o pure_a that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n he_o wash_v also_o the_o foot_n of_o his_o affection_n from_o the_o dust_n of_o veriall_a sin_n now_o although_o the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o master_n who_o be_v the_o institutor_n of_o this_o sacrament_n aught_o of_o itself_o to_o suffice_v to_o move_v we_o to_o the_o frequent_v thereof_o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o judge_v it_o expedient_a amongst_o the_o many_o profit_n which_o do_v resulte_v thereof_o in_o our_o soul_n to_o write_v here_o a_o few_o that_o these_o also_o may_v move_v we_o for_o to_o embrace_v more_o willing_o and_o to_o help_v ourselves_o of_o so_o singular_a a_o benefit_n 1_o first_o therefore_o a_o man_n which_o do_v often_o confess_v and_o consequent_o do_v often_o examine_v his_o conscience_n be_v more_o secure_a because_o of_o the_o fresh_a memory_n which_o he_o have_v of_o his_o sin_n to_o confess_v they_o all_o and_o so_o to_o make_v his_o confession_n sufficient_a &_o entire_a wherefore_o he_o have_v also_o great_a security_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n &_o of_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god._n 2_o those_o which_o often_o do_v confess_v partly_o because_o they_o be_v late_o confess_v or_o short_o after_o be_v to_o return_v to_o confession_n partly_o also_o because_o of_o the_o continual_a purpose_n which_o they_o have_v and_o do_v often_o also_o renew_v a_o christian_a life_n and_o of_o not_o offend_v god_n be_v more_o wary_a in_o keep_v themselves_o from_o evell_a more_o easy_o they_o rise_v again_o if_o they_o chance_v at_o any_o time_n to_o fall_v and_o more_o stout_o they_o fight_v and_o resist_v temptation_n 3_o by_o the_o frequent_v of_o this_o sacrament_n a_o man_n do_v always_o obtain_v great_a light_n not_o only_o for_o to_o know_v his_o sin_n be_v they_o never_o so_o little_a whereas_o in_o a_o fair_a cloth_n more_o easy_o be_v spy_v small_a spot_v than_o in_o that_o which_o be_v foul_a &_o stain_v but_o also_o for_o to_o know_v the_o root_n of_o they_o which_o be_v his_o evell_a inclination_n and_o passion_n wherefore_o when_o the_o cause_n of_o any_o infirmity_n be_v once_o find_v out_o more_o easy_a be_v the_o cure_n thereof_o &_o these_o person_n now_o know_v themselves_o know_v how_o more_o easy_o to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o occasion_n of_o sin_n and_o to_o maintain_v their_o spiritval_n health_n 4_o the_o oft_o a_o man_n do_v confess_v so_o much_o the_o more_o through_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n he_o get_v always_o great_a grace_n and_o by_o how_o much_o more_o he_o increase_v in_o grace_n so_o much_o the_o more_o capable_a do_v be_v become_v and_o more_o dispose_v to_o receive_v yet_o great_a grace_n in_o other_o confession_n which_o follow_v whence_o oftentimes_o it_o proceed_v that_o a_o sinner_n often_o go_v to_o confe●●ion_n for_o the_o number_n of_o act_n which_o he_o do_v of_o penance_n increase_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o this_o virtue_n that_o after_o many_o confession_n he_o rise_v again_o as_o saint_n thomas_n note_v with_o great_a grace_n &_o fervour_n of_o charity_n than_o he_o have_v first_o before_o he_o fall_v 5_o by_o conffssion_n there_o be_v not_o only_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o great_a part_n also_o the_o release_n of_o the_o pain_n due_a unto_o the_o same_o sin_n and_o this_o as_o well_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o for_o that_o sensible_a pain_n of_o sorrow_n &_o of_o that_o confusion_n &_o shame_n which_o every_o one_o have_v in_o confess_v his_o sin_n and_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o a_o man_n so_o oft_o be_v confess_v &_o receive_v the_o sacramental_a absolution_n that_o at_o the_o length_n as_o say_v s._n thomas_n in_o the_o four_o book_n of_o sentence_n there_o may_v remain_v no_o pain_n at_o all_o for_o to_o suffer_v in_o purgatory_n 6_o to_o frequent_v this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o great_a help_n and_o give_v a_o great_a light_n unto_o those_o which_o will_v make_v choice_n of_o a_o estate_n of_o life_n wherein_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o be_v save_v and_o this_o partly_o through_o the_o grace_n which_o so_o oft_o be_v communicate_v unto_o they_o whereby_o they_o be_v make_v more_o capable_a of_o the_o divine_a inspiration_n partly_o through_o the_o light_n which_o the_o understanding_n receave_v by_o the_o which_o it_o may_v better_o know_v what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n &_o their_o great_a good_a partly_o also_o for_o the_o spiritual_a strength_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o will_n for_o the_o accept_n of_o that_o which_o be_v inspire_v as_o better_a and_o final_o for_o the_o continual_a counsel_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o confessor_n by_o who_o in_o the_o steed_n of_o god_n they_o be_v govern_v 7_o he_o that_o frequent_v this_o sacrament_n of_o confession_n be_v neither_o so_o oft_o nor_o so_o grievous_o tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o even_o as_o the_o spider_n do_v not_o weave_v their_o web_n in_o the_o house_n of_o scotfree_a person_n because_o they_o be_v often_o break_v by_o such_o as_o continual_o sweep_v they_o away_o so_o in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v cleanse_v by_o often_o confession_n the_o devil_n can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n frame_n or_o make_v the_o snare_n of_o his_o temptation_n but_o rather_o see_v that_o his_o deceit_n be_v often_o disclose_v unto_o such_o as_o can_v apply_v remedy_n &_o that_o he_o can_v escape_v without_o loss_n &_o confusion_n in_o the_o end_n he_o run_v away_o because_o as_o saint_n i●rome_n say_v look_v how_o the_o power_n &_o forc●_n of_o a_o traitor_n be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o when_o the_o treason_n be_v reveal_v so_o those_o infernal_a thief_n do_v run_v away_o when_o they_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v discover_v 8_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o seldom_o a_o man_n be_v confess_v so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v he_o loose_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n &_o become_v insensible_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o those_o sin_n which_o be_v indeed_o grievous_a and_o mortal_a do_v seem_v unto_o he_o of_o no_o importance_n wherefore_o with_o great_a facility_n he_o commit_v they_o whereas_o contrariwise_o those_o which_o often_o be_v confess_v do_v get_v so_o great_a wariness_n and_o purity_n of_o conscience_n that_o they_o feel_v remorse_n of_o never_o so_o small_a sin_n which_o cause_v that_o they_o abhor_v all_o grievous_a sin_n &_o not_o so_o easy_o fall_v into_o they_o 9_o even_o as_o those_o which_o seldom_o go_v to_o confession_n because_o they_o be_v ordinary_o in_o state_n of_o sin_n do_v never_o find_v peace_n nor_o quiet_a although_o they_o have_v all_o the_o consolation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n those_o which_o through_o the_o often_o use_v of_o this_o sacrament_n do_v maintain_v themselves_o in_o grace_n although_o they_o suffer_v perhaps_o many_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n they_o always_o enjoy_v a_o exceed_a peace_n contentment_n and_o tranquilitye_n of_o mind_n 10_o even_o as_o those_o which_o of●en_a deal_n with_o the_o puisition_n and_o follow_v his_o precept_n do_v live_v in_o good_a health_n &_o the_o long_a time_n so_o those_o which_o
