thoughtes & delytes & neuer shriue hem of it but only of the | |||
dede of grete synnes outward / 225 wherfore I saye that suche wic | |||
ked delites & wicked thoughtes ben subtill begilars of hem | |||
that shal be dampned / 226 More ouer man ought to sorowe for | |||
his wicked wordes & for his wicked dedes / For certes repen | |||
taunce of a singuler synne and not repentyng of alle his | |||
other synnys / or ellis repenting hym of al his other synnes | |||
and not of a synguler synne may not auayle / 227 For certes | |||
god almighty is all good And therfore he foryeuyth all | |||
or ellis right nought / 228 And therfore saith saint Austyn / 229 I | |||
wote certeinly þt god is enemy to euery synnar / And how | |||
than he that obserueth one synne / shal he haue foryeuenes of | |||
the remeneunt of his other synnys / nay / 230 And ferther ouer | |||
contricion shold be wonder sorouful & auguysshous / And | |||
therfore yeuyth hym god plainly his mercy / And therfore | |||
whan my sowle was auguysshous within me I had remem | |||
braunce of god that my prayer might come to hym / 231 Fur- | |||
therouer contricion muste be continuel and that men haue | |||
stedfast purpose to shryue hem & for to amende hem of her lif | |||
232 For sothly whyle contricion lasteth / man may haue hope of | |||
foryeuenes / And of this cometh hate of synne that destro- | |||
ieth synne bothe in hym self and eke in other folke at his | |||
power / 233 For whiche Dauid saith / Ye that louen god / hate | |||
wickednes / . For trusteth wel to loue god is for to loue | |||
that he loueth and hate that he hateth . 234 The last thing | |||
that a man shal vnderstond in contricion is this wherof | |||
auaylleth contricion / I say somtyme þt contricion deliuerith | |||
a man fro synne / 235 of whiche dauid saith / I saye qd dauid / I | |||
purpose fermli to shriue me & thou lord hast relecid my synne | |||
