¶ The .xxv. Chapytre / howe a man shall confesse hym selfe in generall of all his venyall synnes.

Page [unnumbered]

I Haue finally synned and do accuse me of al my ve¦nyall syn̄es / whiche be in great nombre / as of vay∣ne thoughtes / wordes / & dedes: & that I haue euyll and vnprofytably spent and lost my tyme and that I myght haue done moche more good thā I haue done. I haue not also said my prayers and penaūce so hertely and fer∣uently as I ought to do / and that I haue not so deuoutly and hertely made my con∣fessyon. I haue not praysed and lauded al∣myghty god in all his operacyons & work{is}. I haue fylled & nourysshed my body with eatynge and drynkynge more than was ne¦de or necessarye.

¶ Of these synnes and all other that I ha∣ue done in my lyfe / whether they be mortall or venyall / whiche be in my remembraun∣ce and knowen / or forgoten & not knowen by ygnoraūce / were it wakynge or slepyn∣ge / by daye or by nyght: al one or with a∣nother / I confesse me and knowlege me to haue offende god / cryenge hym mercy / and desyre absolu¦cyon of you my ghostly fa∣ther. Et Ideo precor. &c.
