Also thou shalt shrive thee of all thy sins to one man, and not a parcel 5138 to one man, and a parcel to another; that is to understand, in intent to depart 5139 thy confession for shame or dread; for it is but strangling of thy soul. For certes Jesus Christ is entirely all good, in him is none imperfection, and therefore either he forgiveth all perfectly, or else never a deal. 5140 I say not that if thou be assigned to thy penitencer 5141 for a certain sin, that thou art bound to shew him all the remnant of thy sins, of which thou hast been shriven of thy curate, but if it like thee 5142 of thy humility; this is no departing 5143
