take_v heed_n of_o fall_v wilful_o into_o any_o sin_n after_o confession_n for_o he_o that_o confess_v sin_n aright_o confess_v sin_n as_o sin_n with_o a_o real_a hatred_n of_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n

that_o you_o fall_v not_o wilful_o into_o the_o same_o particular_a sin_n you_o have_v confess_v let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o repetition_n and_o recommission_n of_o the_o very_a same_o fault_n after_o confession_n take_v heed_n of_o this_o for_z 1._o there_o be_v great_a danger_n of_o it_o 2._o there_o be_v great_a evil_n and_o folly_n in_o it_o great_a gild_n and_o danger_n by_o reason_n of_o it_o 1._o there_o be_v great_a danger_n of_o it_o of_o return_v to_o the_o same_o sin_n again_o after_o confession_n danger_n to_o the_o formal_a and_o danger_n too_o to_o the_o penitent_a confessor_n 1._o danger_n enough_o to_o be_v sure_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o formal_a customary_a confessor_n for_o 1._o such_o a_o one_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o he_o have_v make_v even_o and_o compound_v with_o god_n by_o his_o last_o confession_n and_o so_o be_v ready_a to_o sin_n afresh_o and_o to_o run_v on_o a_o new_a score_n have_v now_o no_o old_a sin_n to_o answer_v for_o as_o he_o think_v or_o 2._o the_o formal_a confessor_n be_v somewhat_o ease_v by_o confess_v as_o the_o drunkard_n be_v by_o his_o vomit_v and_o so_o be_v apt_a now_o to_o take_v heart_n to_o fall_v to_o it_o again_o have_v no_o trouble_n upon_o his_o spirit_n to_o restrain_v he_o or_o 3._o he_o reckon_v with_o himself_o that_o his_o formal_a customary_a confession_n do_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n present_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n he_o therefore_o encourage_v himself_o to_o sin_n by_o conceit_v and_o fancy_v the_o extreme_a easiness_n of_o get_v and_o procure_v a_o pardon_n at_o the_o cheap_a rate_n of_o reiterated_a confession_n and_o so_o make_v a_o small_a light_a trivial_a matter_n of_o sin_v again_o by_o think_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o may_v venture_v to_o sin_n again_o it_o be_v but_o make_v another_o confession_n god_n be_v a_o merciful_a god_n if_o i_o confess_v again_o he_o will_v forgive_v again_o 7._o again_o vid._n tertul_n de_fw-la penitent_n c._n 7._o thus_o he_o

enough_o of_o this_o to_o thou_o that_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a formal_a confessor_n because_o the_o lord_n may_v just_o punish_v thy_o hypocritical_a confession_n by_o leave_v thou_o to_o thyself_o
