TWo maner of syn̄es makith a soule to lese ye shape & the lyknes of god. That one is called origynall yt is the fir¦ste syn̄e. thother is called actuel yt is wylfully done synne. thyse ii. syn̄es put away a soule fro ye blisse of heuē. & dāpneth it to thendles payne of helle. but yf it be thoruʒ the grace of god re¦formyd
to his lyckenesse or it passe hens oute of this lyfe / Neuerthe∣lesse two remedyes aren there ayenst thise two synnes / by the whiche a forshapen soule maye be restored agayne / One is the sacramente of baptym ayenste origynall synne / a nother is the sacramente of penaunce ayenste actuell synne / A soule of a chylde that is borne and is vncrystenyd by cause of origy¦nall synne hath noo lyckenesse of god / He is noughte but an ymage of the fende and a bronde of helle. But as soone as it is crystened it is refourmed to the ymage of god / and thrugh the vertue of faythe of holy chirche sodeynly it is tourned fro the lyckenesse of the fende and made lyke an angell of heuen. Also the same falleth to a Iewe or to a farracyne the whiche or they ben crystened arne noughte but mancyples of helle / But whan they forsaken her errour and fallē mekely to the trouthe in cryste. and receyue the baptym of water in the ho∣ly ghoste. sothly wythoute ony more taryeng they arne refo¦urmed to the lickenesse of god soo fully as holy chirche trow¦eth. that yf they myghte as soone after baptym passe oute of this worlde. they sholde streyghte flee to heuen wythoute ony more lettyng / had they done neuer soo moche synne before in the tyme of her vntrouthe / and neuer sholde they fele the pay••ne of helle ne of purgatori / And that pryuelege sholde they h••¦ue by the meryte of crystis passion /
