Caxton 1, folio369v image
 925 Right so farith synne that longe tyme is in a mā vnshewd  
 926 Certis a man ought hastely to shewe his synne for many  
 causis / and for drede of deth that cometh ofte tyme so sodenly  
 & is in no certein what tyme it shal be ne in what place 927 And  
 eke the lenger he tarieth the ferther is he fro Crist And yf  
 be abyde vnto his last day / scarsely may he shriue or amende  
 hym for his synnys or repente hym for the greuous maladye  
 of his deth / 928 And for as muche as he hath not in his lif her  
 kenyd Ihesu crist whan he hath spoken vnto hym / he shal crye  
 vnto our lord at his last day & skarcely he shal herken hym  
 929 Vnderstonde that this condicion muste haue foure thinges .  
 First that thy shrifte be pourueid afore and auised / And  
 that a man can shriue hym of his synnys be it of pryde or of  
 enuye & so forth with the spicis & circumstancis / 930 And that  
 he haue comprehendid in his mynde the nombre & the grete-  
 nes of his synnys / 931 and how long he hath leyen in synne / and  
 eke that he be contrite of his synnys / and be in stedefast pur-  
 poos by the grace of god neuer efte to falle ayen in synne to  
 whiche he is inclined / 932 also thou shalt shriue the of alle thy  
 synnys to one mā / and not parcelmele to one man & parcel-  
 mele to another / Than is it to be vnderstande in thentent to  
 perten thy confession as for shame or drede for it nys but stran  
 gling in thy soule / 933 For certes Ihesu crist is all good / in hym  
 is none imperfection / And therfore he foryeuith al perfightly .  
 & els neuer a deel / 934 I saye not yf þu be assigned to the penetan  
 cer for certain synne that thou art bounde to shewe him all the  
 remenaunt of thy synnys of which þu hast be shriuen of thy  
 curate but yf it like þe of thin humilite / this is no deperting of  
 shrifte / 935 ne I say not there as I speke of diuision of cōfession
