¶ The .xix. Chapytre / howe a man shall confesse hym of the fyue senses or wyttes and of the other membres of the body.

MOreouer / I confesse me to haue synned / & to haue offē¦ded god in my .v. wyttes & by all my membres.

¶ Fyrste / that I haue trym¦med and aorned the heer of my heed and browes with great pryde. I haue not ho∣noured nor showed reuerence to god / and my superyours with my heed / nor haue not ben obedyent therwith. I haue also gyuen

myne eares to here vnhonest wordes and cōmunycacyon / and to detraccyon. I haue not ruled and kepte myne iyes from the be∣holdynge of vnlawfull & dyshonest syght{is} I haue delyted to smell with my nose suche thynges as haue prouoked me to synne. I haue also opened my mouthe / to curse / to swere / to lye / and to deceyue. I haue also abused my tongue for to eate and drynke de¦lycyously: and my throte in syngynge wan¦ton and vnhonest songes. I haue also abu¦sed my handes to my self or to other / in vn∣clennes and lechery. I haue made my god of my body / in abundaunce of eatynge and drynkyng / and vnclennes. I haue had ma¦ny vnlawfull and vnclene thoughtes / & desyres in my herte: the whiche I wolde ha∣ue done in dede / yf shame of the worlde had not letted me. I haue mysused my legges and fete in goynge to places / where as I haue greatly greued god / wher¦of I am sorye / and I crye god mercy.
