D51.01.90
A second version of part of Old English
Handbook, part 1, is found in this manuscript; the tag -.09 in the manuscript file bidentifies it as
the second vesion;
otherwise the canon numbers (D51.01.+) are identical with the
version on fol. 114-15, where most of this material has been deleted by erasure.
D51.01.91
When anyone wishes to make a confession of his sins, let
him act courageously and not feel ashamed to confess wicked deeds and to accuse himself of
misdeeds. Because from that comes forgiveness, and because without confession, there is no
pardon. For truly, confession cures, confession justifies, confession grants remission of sins.
D51.02.91
First therefore let him prostrate himself humbly over the
earth
in the sight of God, and with tears flowing let him beg Blessed Mary, with all the saints and
angels
and holy apostles and all the saints of the Lord, to intercede with God for him, so that almighty
God will consider it worthy (deem it fit) to give him perfect wisdom and true knowledge for the
confession of his sins.v. pag. infra
