But there be two […] of sins, there is a deadly sin,1 and a venial […]: that is sins that be pardonable and sins that be not pardonable. Now how shall we know which be venial since, or which be not: for it is good to know them: and so to keep us from them. ⟨image 117⟩when ye will know which be deadly sins or not: you must […] understand that there be two manner of men, when I say men, I understand women too, that is all mankind, and so doth scripture too, understanding the women too, by this word men: for else we should not find in scripture, that we should baptise women, for the scripture saith: Baptizate eos, baptise them, he speaketh in the masculine gender […]. Item […] quis renatus fuerit ex […] & aqua, Except a man be borne again thorough spirit and water: here is made no mention of women, yet they be understanded in it to: for the salvation and everlasting life, pertaineth as well unto faithful women as it doth unto faithful men: for he suffered as well for the women, as he did for the men. God would have them both to be saved, the men and the women. So ye see2 that this word men signifieth or containeth both the […], (the men and the women) at sometimes, not always: But I say there be two manner of men, some there be ye be not justified, not regenerate, nor yet in the state of salvation, that is to say, not gods servants: they lack the renovation or regeneration, they be not come yet to Christ. Now these persons that be not come yet to Christ, or if they were come to Christ, be fallen again from […]: and so lost their justify3 cation (as there be many of us, which when we fall willingly in to sin against conscience, we lose the favour of god, our salvation, and finally the holy ghost) all they now that be out4 of the favour of god and are not sorry for it, sin […] them not, they purpose to go forward in it, all those that intend not to leave their sins are out of the favour of god: and so all their works whatsoever they do, be deadly sins: for as long as they be in purpose to sin, they sin deadly in all their doings. Therefore when we will speak of the […] of since, we must speak of those that be faithful, that be regenerated and made new, and clean from their sins thorough Christ, Now this I say: I have venial sins and deadly sins, which be venial since?
