Now for to speak of them that be so negligent and slow to shrive them; that stands in two manners. The one is, that he hopeth to live long, and to purchase 5184 much riches for his delight, and then he will shrive him: and, as he sayeth, he may, as him seemeth, timely enough come to shrift: another is, the surquedrie 5185 that he hath in Christ’s mercy. Against the first vice, he shall think that our life is in no sickerness, 5186 and eke that all the riches in this world be in adventure, and pass as a shadow on the wall; and, as saith St. Gregory, that it appertaineth to the great righteousness of God, that never shall the pain stint 5187 of them, that never would withdraw them from sin, their thanks, 5188 but aye continue in sin; for that perpetual will to do sin shall they have perpetual pain. Wanhope 5189 is in two manners.
