TWo manere of synnes makyth a so••le to lese ye shape & the lyknesse of god. That one is called orygynal yt is ye fyrst syn. thother is called actuel yt is wyl¦fully done syn. thise ii. syn̄es put away a soule fro ye blys¦se of heuē. & dāpneth it to thēdles payn of hel. but if it be
thorough the grace of god refourmyd to his lyckenesse or it passe hens out of this lyfe / Neuertheles two reme∣dyes arne there ayenst thyse two synnes / by yt whiche a forshapen soule maye be restored agayne / One is ye sa∣cramente of baptym ayenste orygynal synne / a nother is the sacramente of penaunce ayenst actuel syn̄e / A sou¦le of a chylde that is borne and is vncrystenyd by cause of orygynal synne hath no lyckenesse of god / He is nou¦ght but an ymage of the fende & a bronde of helle. But as soone as it is crystened it is refourmed to the ymage of god / and thorugh the vertue of fayth of holy chyrche sodeynly it is tourned fro the lyckenesse of ye fende & ma¦de lyke an angel of heuen. Also ye same falleth to a Iewe or to a sarazyne the whiche or they ben crystened arne nought but mancyples of helle / But whan they for∣saken her errour & fallen mekely to the trouthe in cryste and receyue the baptym of water in the holy sthost. soth¦ly without ony more taryenge they arne refourmed to the lyckenesse of god soo fully as holy chyrche troweth. that yf they myghte as soone after baptym passe out of this worlde. they sholde streyght flee to heuen withoute ony more lettyng / had they done neuer so moche synne before in the tyme of her vntrouthe / & neuer sholde they fele the paynes of helle ne of purgatory / And ye pryuele∣ge sholde they haue by the meryte of crystis passyon /
