3. See here how they damn themselves and all mankind, every man living omitteth what is commanded many hundred times, for which he doth not that which they call Penance. He is a Liar, that saith he hath no Sin, specially of Omission. Gods Law bindeth us all to Believe, to Hope, to desire Holiness and Heaven, to love God and our Neighbours, and our Enemies, with a stronger degree of Faith, Hope, Desire, and Love, than we do: Every Prayer, and Meditation is sinfully defective: Every hour hath some omission ⟨p. 82⟩of improvement: And all this is not remembered, nor all confessed to a Priest, nor all known or observed by any Sinner: And some omission we are guilty of at our very Death, by gradual defect of Faith, Hope, Patience, Love, Content, and Joy. And must all these go to Hell?
