| 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 | |||
