| 20 And he that synneth and verily repentith hym in his laste | |||
| Holy chirche hopith his saluacōn by the grete mercy of our | |||
| lord Ihesu Crist for his repentaunce / but take ye the siker | |||
| and certayn waye . / 21 And now sith I haue declared you | |||
| what thyng is penaunce / Now shul ye vnderstande that | |||
| ther be thre actions / 22 the first is that a man be baptised after | |||
| that he hath synned 23 saynt Augustyn saith but he be peny- | |||
| tent for his old synful lyf / he may not begynne the newe | |||
| clene lif / 24 For yf he be baptised withoute penitence for his | |||
| old gilt / he reteyneth the marke of baptesme / but not the | |||
| grace ne the remission of his synnys til he haue verray repen | |||
| taunce / 25 Another defaute is that men done dedly synne after | |||

| falle in venyal synnes after her baptesme fro day to day / . | |||
| 27 Therof saith saynt Austyn that penaunce of good and | |||

| lempne is in two maners / as is to be put out of holy chirche | |||
| in lenton for slaughter of children & suche maner thinges / | |||
| 30 Another is whan a man hath synned openly / of whiche | |||
| synne the fame is openly knowen in the contre and thenne | |||
| holy chirche by Iugement distreyneth hym for to do open pe | |||

| in certayn caas as for to go parauenture naked on pilgre- | |||
| mage or barefoot / 32 Preuy penaunce is that men doon al day | |||
| for preuy synnes of whiche we shriuen vs priuely and re- | |||
| ceyuen pryue penaunce / 33 Now shal thou vnderstonde what | |||
| behoueth and is necessarye to euery preuy penitent / And | |||
