323. Therefore those among the Papists who absolve such from their •ns, who commit Fornication or Drunkenness once a month (at least) •r once in many months, or often, and come between and say, I Repent, •o but delude them. For the nature of those Sins is such, that he that • converted to an habitual hatred of them more than he hath a love •o them, cannot return to them so oft: And he that doth not so hate •hem doth not truly repent. And even their Hildebrand (Greg. 7.) •• a Council at Rome expressly saith, that [neither false Baptism, nor false a feigned and unsound) Repentance do put away Sin.
