An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

Towards God he should from the bottom of his heart, confess his faults and sins, and acknowledge his just con damnation: then should he persuade him self by true and lively faith, that God would be merciful unto him for y• death of his dear beloved son Jesus Christ, done in his body torn, and in his blood shed.

Towardes God he shulde from the botome of hys heart, confesse his faults and sinnes, and acknowledge hys iust cō demnacion: then shuld he perswade him selfe by true and liuely fayth, that God would be mercyful vnto him for y• death of hys dere beloued sōn Iesus Christ, done in his body torne, and in hys blud shedde.

He should prepare him self towards his neighbour also. First in case he hath hurt his neighbour in fame or goods, he should reconcile him self again, with restitution of them both again. He that thus prepareth him self, doth eat worthily the body of Christ, ⟨image 155⟩and he that doth not thus prepare him self, eateth nothing but the sacrament to his everlasting damnation. I make no mention here of auricular confession, as though that were a thing necessary to be done before or after the receiving of the Sacrament.

He shuld prepare hym selfe towardes his neighbour also. Fyrst incase he hath hurt hys neyghbour in fame or goods, he shuld reconcile hym selfe agayne, wyth restitucion of thē both againe. He that thus prepareth hym self, doth eat worthelye the bodye of Christe, ⟨image 155⟩and he that doth not thus prepare him selfe, eateth nothing but the sacrament to his euerlastyng damnaciō. I make no mencion here of auriculer cō fession, as though that were a thyng necessary to be done before or after the receauynge of the Sacrament.
