forsooth_o sin_n be_v in_o two_o manner_n either_o it_o be_v venial_a or_o deadly_a sin_n *_o sothly_o when_o man_n love_v any_o creature_n more_o than_o jesu_n christ_n our_o creator_n than_o it_o be_v deadly_a sin_n and_o venial_a sin_n it_o be_v if_o a_o man_n love_n jesu_n christ_n less_o than_o he_o aught_o forsooth_o the_o deed_n of_o this_o venial_a sin_n be_v full_a perilous_a for_o it_o minish_v the_o love_n that_o man_n shall_v have_v to_o god_n more_o &_o more_o and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n charge_v himself_o with_o many_o such_o venial_a sin_n certes_o but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o sometime_o discharge_v he_o of_o hem_n by_o shrift_n they_o may_v full_o light_o minish_v in_o he_o all_o the_o love_n that_o he_o have_v to_o jesu_n christ_n and_o in_o this_o wise_a skip_v venial_a sin_n into_o deadly_a sin_n for_o certes_o the_o more_o that_o a_o man_n charge_v his_o soul_n with_o venial_a sin_n the_o more_o he_o be_v incline_v to_o fall_v into_o deadly_a sin_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v negligent_a to_o charge_v we_o of_o venial_a sin_n for_o the_o proverb_n say_v *_o that_o many_o small_a make_v a_o great_a harken_v this_o ensample_n a_o

and_o therefore_o although_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o cause_n of_o drown_v algate_n the_o ship_n be_v drown_v right_o so_o fare_v it_o sometime_o of_o deadly_a sin_n and_o

of_o god_n or_o more_o deadly_a sin_n as_o say_v saint_n augustine_n be_v *_o when_o a_o man_n turn_v his_o heart_n from_o god_n which_o that_o be_v very_o sovereign_a bounty_n that_o may_v not_o
