very_o much_o hurt_v our_o soul_n and_o hinder_v we_o from_o receive_v of_o most_o heavenly_a gift_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v rather_o to_o have_v suffer_v any_o temporal_a punishment_n or_o loss_n than_o ever_o to_o have_v consent_v to_o commit_v they_o and_o let_v we_o be_v grieve_v and_o ashamed_a that_o ever_o we_o do_v they_o &_o determine_v in_o our_o heart_n never_o to_o commit_v they_o again_o and_o have_v thus_o dispose_v &_o prepare_v ourselves_o let_v we_o confess_v they_o and_o albeit_o in_o confession_n we_o tell_v not_o all_o but_o the_o great_a and_o those_o which_o cause_n most_o shame_n yet_o let_v the_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n for_o have_v commit_v they_o and_o the_o purpose_n of_o not_o commit_v they_o again_o comprehend_v and_o include_v all_o and_o by_o these_o mean_n shall_v we_o deliver_v ourselves_o from_o the_o terrible_a fire_n of_o purgatory_n and_o shall_v obtain_v more_o plenty_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o great_a purity_n of_o conscience_n and_o when_o we_o leave_v this_o mortal_a life_n we_o shall_v the_o soon_o pass_v to_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n for_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v
