of_o the_o flesh_n most_o subtle_o to_o your_o utter_a undo_n and_o destruction_n behold_v anon_o ma●ke_v well_o what_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v a_o other_o

ministry_n of_o preach_v do_v appertain_v can_v be_v partaker_n but_o such_o as_o repent_v &_o do_v penance_n therefore_o dear_o belove_v if_o you_o regard_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o that_o you_o can_v enter_v therein_o except_o you_o repent_v i_o beseech_v you_o all_o of_o every_o estate_n as_o you_o will_v your_o own_o weal_n to_o repent_v and_o do_v penance_n the_o which_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v do_v i_o will_v do_v my_o best_a now_o to_o help_v you_o by_o god_n grace_n but_o first_o because_o we_o can_v well_o tell_v what_o repentance_n be_v through_o ignorance_n and_o for_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n and_o false_a teach_n i_o will_v to_o begin_v withal_o show_v you_o what_o repentance_n be_v

repentance_n or_o penante_n be_v no_o english_a word_n but_o we_o borrow_v it_o of_o the_o latinist_n to_o who_o penance_n be_v a_o forthinking_a in_o english_a in_o greek_a a_o be_v wise_a afterwards_o in_o hebrew_n a_o conversion_n or_o turn_n the_o which_o conversion_n or_o turn_n in_o that_o it_o can_v be_v true_a &_o hearty_a unto_o god_n especial_o without_o some_o good_a hope_n or_o trust_v of_o pardon_n for_o that_o which_o be_v already_o do_v and_o pass_v i_o may_v well_o in_o this_o sort_n define_v it_o namely_o that_o penance_n be_v a_o sorow_v or_o forthink_v of_o our_o sin_n past_a a_o earnest_a purpose_n to_o amend_v or_o turn_v to_o god_n with_o a_o trust_n of_o pardon_n this_o definition_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n first_o a_o sorow_v for_o our_o sin_n second_o a_o trust_n of_o pardon_n which_o otherwise_o may_v be_v call_v a_o persuasion_n of_o god_n mercy_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o three_o a_o purpose_n to_o amend_v or_o conversion_n to_o a_o new_a life_n the_o which_o three_o or_o last_o part_n can_v be_v call_v proper_o a_o part_n for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o effect_n of_o penance_n as_o towards_o the_o end_n you_o shall_v see_v by_o god_n grace_n but_o least_o such_o as_o seek_v for_o occasion_n to_o speak_v evil_n shall_v have_v any_o occasion_n though_o they_o tarry_v not_o out_o the_o end_n of_o this_o sermon_n i_o therefore_o divide_v penauce_n into_o the_o three_o foresay_a part_n of_o sorrow_v for_o our_o sin_v of_o good_a hope_n or_o trust_v of_o pardon_n and_o of_o a_o new_a life_n thus_o you_o now_o see_v what_o penance_n be_v a_o sorow_v for_o sin_v a_o purpose_n to_o amend_v with_o a_o good_a hope_n or_o trust_v of_o pardon_n this_o penance_n not_o only_o differ_v from_o that_o which_o man_n common_o have_v take_v to_o be_v penance_n in_o say_v &_o do_v our_o enjoin_v lady_n psalter_n seven_o psalm_n fast_n pilgrimage_n alm_n deed_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o also_o from_o that_o which_o the_o more_o learned_a have_v declare_v to_o consist_v of_o three_o part_n namely_o contrition_n confession_n &_o satisfaction_n contrition_n they_o call_v a_o just_a &_o a_o full_a sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n for_o this_o word_n just_a &_o full_a in_o one_o of_o the_o difference_n between_o contrition_n and_o attrition_n confession_n they_o call_v a_o number_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o their_o ghostly_a father_n for_o as_o say_v they_o a_o judge_n can_v absolve_v without_o knowledge_n of_o the_o cause_n or_o matter_n so_o can_v the_o priest_n or_o ghostly_a father_n absolve_v from_o other_o sin_n than_o those_o which_o he_o do_v hear_v satisfaction_n they_o calamende_v make_v unto_o god_n
