Caxton 1, folio329r image
 is to hym more abhominable than that mylk whan it is med  
 lid with other mylk / 49 Right so the synful man that loueth  
 his synne / hit semeth it is to hym most swete of ony thing  
 50 But fro that tyme that he loueth sadly our lord Ihesu Crist  
 and desireth the lyf pardurable / ther is to hym no thyng  
 more abhominable / 51 For soth the loue of god is the lawe of  
 god / For whiche dauid the prophete saith / I haue loued thy  
 lawe and hated wickednes / he that loueth god kepeth his  
 lawe and his word / 52 This the prophete Daniel Inspired  
 vpon the vision of Nabugodonosor whan he counceilled hym  
 to do penaunce / 53 Penaunce is of the tre of lyf to hem that it  
 receyuen / And he that holdeth hym very penitent is blessid  
 after the sentence of salamon / 54 In this Penitence or contri  
 cion man shal vnderstande foure thynges / that is to saye  
 what is contricion / And whiche ben the causes that meuen  
 a man to contricion / And how he shold be contryte / And  
 what contricōn auayleth to the sowle / 55 Than is hit thus that  
 contricion is the verry sorowe that a man restreyneth in his  
 herte for his synnes with sad purpose to shryue hym and  
 to do penaunce & neuer more to do synne / 56 And this sorow  
 shal be in this maner as saith seynt bernard / hit shal be  
 greuous and heuy and wel sharp and poynaunt in herte  
 57 First for a man hath agilted his lord and his creatour  
 And more sharp and poynaunt for he hath agilted his  
 fader celestial / 58 And yet more sharp & poynant for he hath  
 wrathid hym and agylte hym that bought hym that with  
 his precyous blood hath deliueryd hym from the bondes of  
 synne and fro the cruelte of the deuyll and fro the peynes  
 of helle / 59 These causes that meue a man to contricion ben .vj.
