And so Contrition, if they had left out their subtle distinction, between it and Attrition, by this word just or full, making it a hearty sorrow for their sins, then we would never have cried out against them therefore. For we say, penance hath three parts; Contrition, if you understand it for a hearty sorrowing for sin; Confession, if you understand it for faith, of free pardon in Gods mercy, by Jesus Christ; & Satisfaction, if you understand it not to God-wards (for that only to Christ must be left alone) but to man ward in restitution of goods wrongfully or fraudulently gotten, of name hindered by our slanders, and in newness of life: although, as I said before, & anon will show more plainly by Gods grace, that this last is no part of penance in deed, but a plain effect or fruit of true penance.

And so Contrition, if they had left out their subtill distinction, betwéene it and Atttirion, by this word iust or full, making it a hearty sorrow for their sinnes, then wee would neuer haue cryed out against them therfore. For wee say, penance hath thrée parts; Contrition, if you vnderstand it for a hearty sorrowing for sin; Confession, if you vnderstand it for faith, of frée pardon in Gods mercy, by Iesus Christ; & Satisfaction, if you vnderstand it not to God-wards (for that onely to Christ must be left alone) but to man ward in restitution of goods wrōgfully or fraudulently gotten, of name hindred by our slaunders, and in newnesse of life: although, as I sayd before, & anon will shew more plainly by Gods grace, that this last is no part of penane in deed, but a plaine effect or fruit of true penance.

I might here bring in examples of their penance, how perilous it is to be embraced: but let the example of ⟨p. 18⟩their grand Sire Judas serve, in whom we see all the parts of their penance, as they describe it; and yet notwithstanding he was damned. He was sorry enough, as the effect showed: he had their contrition fully, out of the which he confessed his fault, saying: I have betrayed innocent blood: and thereunto he made satisfaction, restoring the money he had received. But yet all was but lost, he hanged up himself, his bowels burst out, and he remained a child of perdition for ever. I would wish that this example of Judas, in whom ye see the parts of their penance, contrition, confession, and satisfaction, would move them to penance, and to describe it a little better, making hope or trust of Gods free mercy a piece thereof, or else with Judas they will mar all.
