 these stonden in thre / 34 Cōtricion of herte / Cōfession of mouth  
 And satisfaction / 35 For whiche Iohn Crisostom saith / Pe  
 nytence distreyneth to accepte benygnely euery peyne that  
 is hym enioyned with contricion of herte and shryfte of  
 mouth with satisfaction & worching of al maner humylite  
 36 And this is fruytful penance ayenst tho thinges in whiche  
 we wratthyn our lord Ihesu Crist / 37 This is to saye delyte  
 in thinkyng / by rechelesnes in spekyng / by wicked and  
 synful wirchyng / 38 Ayenst these wicked giltes is penance  
 That may be likened to a tree . 39 The rote of this tre is con  
 tricion that hydeth hym in the herte of hym that is veray re  
 pentante right as the rote of a tre hydeth hym in the erthe /  
 40 Of the rote of contricyon spryngeth a stalke that bereth  
 braunches and leuys of confession and fruyt of satisfac-  
 tion 41 Of whiche crist saith in the gospel / Do ye digne fruyt  
 of penytence / For by this fruyt men may knowe this tree  
 and not by the Rote that is hyd in the herte of a man /  
 Ner by the braunchis ne leeuys of confession / 42 And ther-  
 fore our lord Ihesu Crist saith thus / by the fruyt of hem  
 ye shal knowe hem / 43 Of thys Rote spryngeth a seed of  
 grace whiche seed is moder of sikernes / And this seed  
 is eger and hoot / 44 the grace of this seed spryngeth of god  
 thurgh the Remembraunce of the day of dome and of the  
 peynes of helle / 45 Of this mater Salamon saith that in the  
 drede of god a man forlettith his synne / 46 The heete of this  
 seed is the loue of god and desiryng of the ioye perdura  
 ble / 47 This hete draweth the herte of man to god and doth  
 hym hate his synne / 48 For ther is nothyng that sauoureth  
 so sote to a child as the mylke of his norice / ne nothyng
