AGAYNS.............59
ParsT 112 And agayns thise wikkede giltes is Penitence, that may be likned unto a tree.50
ParsT 154A that they so unkyndely, agayns his gentilesse, quiten hym so vileynsly to slaughtre of hir owene soules.114
ParsT 187 Agayns honour, have they in helle shame and confusioun. 164
ParsT 192 Agayns the richesse of this world shul they han mysese of poverte, and this poverte shal been in foure thynges:172
ParsT 201 " The sones and the doghtren shullen rebellen agayns fader and mooder, and kynrede agayns kynrede, and chiden186
ParsT 201 " The sones and the doghtren shullen rebellen agayns fader and mooder, and kynrede agayns kynrede, and chiden186
ParsT 265 And why? For sensualitee rebelleth thanne agayns resoun, and by that way leseth resoun the lordshipe over sensualitee and over the body.292
ParsT 294 and his reson aperceyveth it wel that it is synne agayns the lawe of God,340
ParsT 294A and yet his resoun refreyneth nat his foul delit or talent, though he se wel apertly that it is agayns the reverence of God.340
ParsT 402 Contumax is he that thurgh his indignacioun is agayns everich auctoritee or power of hem that been his sovereyns.542
ParsT 408 and swiche semblable thynges, agayns his duetee, peraventure, but that he hath his herte552
ParsT 476 now shul ye understonde which is the remedie agayns the synne of Pride; and that is humylitee, or mekenesse.668
ParsT 485 This foule synne is platly agayns the Hooly Goost. Al be it so that every synne is agayns the Hooly Goost,686
ParsT 485 This foule synne is platly agayns the Hooly Goost. Al be it so that every synne is agayns the Hooly Goost,686
ParsT 488 Certes, thanne is Envye the worste synne that is. For soothly, alle othere synnes been somtyme oonly agayns o special vertu,694
ParsT 489 but certes Envye is agayns alle vertues and agayns alle goodnesses.694
ParsT 489 but certes Envye is agayns alle vertues and agayns alle goodnesses.694
ParsT 491A and prosperitee is kyndely matere of joye; thanne is Envye a synne agayns kynde.700
ParsT 499 After bakbityng cometh gruchchyng or murmuracioun; and somtyme it spryngeth of inpacience agayns God, and somtyme agayns man.714
ParsT 499 After bakbityng cometh gruchchyng or murmuracioun; and somtyme it spryngeth of inpacience agayns God, and somtyme agayns man.714
ParsT 500 Agayn God it is whan a man gruccheth agayn the peyne of helle, or agayns poverte, or los of catel,714
ParsT 502A as Judas grucched agayns the Magdaleyne whan she enoynted the heved of oure Lord Jhesu Crist with hir precious oynement.718
ParsT 515 Now wol I speke of remedie agayns this foule synne of Envye. First is the love of God principal738
ParsT 524 Agayns three manere of wronges that his enemy dooth to hym, he shal doon three thynges, as thus:756
ParsT 525 Agayns hate and rancour of herte, he shal love hym in herte. 756
ParsT 525A Agayns chidyng and wikkede wordes, he shal preye for his enemy. Agayns the wikked dede of his enemy, he shal doon hym bountee.758
ParsT 525A Agayns chidyng and wikkede wordes, he shal preye for his enemy. Agayns the wikked dede of his enemy, he shal doon hym bountee.758
ParsT 533A anon he wole comunly fynde hym a matere of wratthe, in word or in dede, agayns hym to whom he hath envye.770
ParsT 539A thurgh which a man is wrooth with wikkednesse and agayns wikkednesse; and therfore seith a wys man that Ire is bet than pley.778
ParsT 540 This Ire is with debonairetee, and it is wrooth withouten bitternesse; nat wrooth agayns the man,780
ParsT 593 This is to seyn, thou shalt swere sooth, for every lesynge is agayns Crist;878
ParsT 596B and lyveth agayns Cristes lyvynge and his techynge, alle they taken Goddes name in ydel.886
ParsT 604 I kan nat seye but that they doon cursedly and dampnably agayns Crist and al the feith of hooly chirche.904
ParsT 654 The remedie agayns Ire is a vertu that men clepen mansuetude, that is debonairetee;994
ParsT 657A ne for noon harm that men doon or seyn, he ne eschawfeth nat agayns his resoun. " 1000
ParsT 659 Pacience, that is another remedie agayns Ire, is a vertu that suffreth swetely every mannes goodnesse,1004
ParsT 662A agayns the whiche foure he moot have foure manere of paciences. 1010
ParsT 689 Agayns this roten-herted synne of Accidie and Slouthe sholde men exercise hemself to doon goode werkes, and manly1062
ParsT 728 Agayns this horrible synne of Accidie, and the branches of the same, ther is a vertu that is called fortitudo or strengthe,1130
ParsT 733 And for as muchel as the devel fighteth agayns a man moore by queyntise and by sleighte than by strengthe,1140
ParsT 745 Soothly, this Avarice is a synne that is ful dampnable, for al hooly writ curseth it and speketh agayns that vice,1164
ParsT 746 For it bireveth hym the love that men to hym owen, and turneth it bakward agayns alle resoun,1166
ParsT 798 The synne of thefte is eek expres agayns Goddes heeste, and that in two maneres, corporeel or spiritueel.1268
ParsT 811 Another manere of remedie agayns avarice is resonable largesse; but soothly, heere bihoveth the consideracioun of the grace of Jhesu Crist,1292
ParsT 831 Agayns Glotonye is the remedie abstinence, as seith Galien; but that holde I nat meritorie,1330
ParsT 837A " Do no lecherie. " And therfore he putte grete peynes agayns this synne in the olde lawe.1342
ParsT 865A and this is deedly synne and agayns nature. 1394
ParsT 866 Al that is enemy and destruccioun to nature is agayns nature. 1396
ParsT 877 This synne is eek a thefte, for thefte generally is for to reve a wight his thyng agayns his wille.1414
ParsT 881 And how sholde I thanne do this wikkednesse, and synne so horribly agayns God and agayns my lord?1424
ParsT 881 And how sholde I thanne do this wikkednesse, and synne so horribly agayns God and agayns my lord?1424
ParsT 915 Now comth the remedie agayns Leccherie, and that is generally chastitee and continence,1496
ParsT 951 Another remedie agayns Leccherie is specially to withdrawen swiche thynges as yeve occasion to thilke vileynye, as ese, etynge, and drynkynge.1570
ParsT 953 Another remedie agayns Leccherie is that a man or a womman eschue the compaignye of hem1572
ParsT 1061 agayns that shame sholde a man thynke that, by wey of resoun, that he that hath nat been shamed to doon foule thinges,1780
ParsT 1068 Agayns the firste vice, he shal thynke that oure lif is in no sikernesse,1792
ParsT 1072 Certes, agayns that cursed wanhope sholde he thynke that 1800
ParsT 1073 Agayns the seconde wanhope he shal thynke that as ofte as he falleth he may arise agayn by penitence.1802
ParsT 1074 Agayns the wanhope that he demeth that he sholde nat longe persevere in goodnesse,1804
 
 AGE................1
ParsT 585B age; or elles, he seith, it cometh hym of gentillesse of his auncestres; and semblable thynges.862
 
 AGILT..............5
ParsT 131 First, for man hath agilt his Lord and his Creatour; and moore sharp and poynaunt for he hath agilt hys Fader celestial;78
ParsT 131 First, for man hath agilt his Lord and his Creatour; and moore sharp and poynaunt for he hath agilt hys Fader celestial;78
ParsT 132 and yet moore sharp and poynaunt for he hath wrathed and agilt hym that boghte hym, that with his precious blood hath delivered us80
ParsT 280 Thanne was he scourged, that no thyng hadde agilt; and finally, thanne was he crucified and slayn.316
ParsT 984A for he hath agilt his God and defouled his soule. 1632
 
 AGILTE.............2
ParsT 150A if he agilte or synne, have thou thanne desdayn that thou thyself sholdest do synne. " 108
ParsT 946A so that she yeve nevere noon occasion that he agilte, it were to hire a greet merite.1560
 
 AGILTEN............1
ParsT 1043B thou foryevest hem that agilten to thee, be ful wel war that thow ne be nat out of charitee.1748
 
 AGREGGED...........1
ParsT 1017A or the estaat of a persone be swich thurgh which his synne is agregged, or elles that he may nat pleynly shryven1700
 
 AGREGGEN...........2
ParsT 892 The thynges that gretly agreggen hire synne is the brekynge of hire avow of chastitee, whan they receyved the ordre.1446
ParsT 960 Now is it good to understonde the circumstances that agreggen muchel every synne.1586
 
 AL.................114
ParsT 81 and this wey is cleped Penitence, of which man sholde gladly herknen and enquere with al his herte8
ParsT 147 Al were it the fouleste cherl or the fouleste womman that lyveth, and leest of value,104
ParsT 172 and withinne the hertes of folk shal be the bitynge conscience, and withouteforth shal be the world al brennynge.136
ParsT 178A for soothly oo day of respit is bettre than al the tresor of this world.148
ParsT 180 For certes, al the sorwe that a man myghte make fro the bigynnyng of the world150
ParsT 183A shal turne hym al to peyne that is in helle for it sheweth him to the horrible develes that hym tormenten.156
ParsT 190A and torment. Honour is eek cleped greet dignytee and heighnesse, but in helle shul they been al fortroden of develes.168
ParsT 193 In defaute of tresor, of which that David seith, " The riche folk, that embraceden and oneden al hire herte to tresor of this world,172
ParsT 193A shul slepe in the slepynge of deeth; and nothyng ne shal they fynden in hir handes of al hir tresor. " 174
ParsT 210 and touchynge of al hir body ycovered with " fir 200
ParsT 218 And al be it so that God hath creat alle thynges in right ordre, and no thyng withouten ordre,214
ParsT 224A And therfore han they lorn al hire hope, for sevene causes. 224
ParsT 233 Soothly, the goode werkes that he dide biforn that he fil in synne been al mortefied and astoned and dulled by the ofte synnyng.240
ParsT 243 For certes, thyng that nevere hadde lyf may nevere quykene; and nathelees, al be it that they ne availle noght to han the lyf perdurable,256
ParsT 247 But, for as muche as the goode werkes that men doon whil they been in good lyf been al mortefied by synne folwynge,262
ParsT 252 Wel may he be sory thanne, that oweth al his lif to God as longe as he hath lyved, and eek as longe270
ParsT 252A as he shal lyve, that no goodnesse ne hath to paye with his dette to God to whom he oweth al his lyf.270
ParsT 259A and of al the remenant of his passioun that he suffred for my synnes, and no thyng for his gilt. " 284
ParsT 263 But soothly, whan man synneth, al this ordre or ordinaunce is turned up-so-doun.288
ParsT 273 And al this suffred Jhesu Crist, that nevere forfeted. And therfore resonably may be seyd of Jhesu in this manere:304
ParsT 279 Thanne was his visage, that oghte be desired to be seyn of al mankynde, in which visage aungels desiren to looke, vileynsly bispet.314
ParsT 282A that for his synnes Goddes sone of hevene sholde al this peyne endure.318
ParsT 295 yet seyn somme doctours that swich delit that dwelleth longe, it is ful perilous, al be it nevere so lite.342
ParsT 296 And also a man sholde sorwe namely for al that evere he hath desired agayn the lawe of God344
ParsT 301 For certes, God almyghty is al good, and therfore he foryeveth al or elles right noght.354
ParsT 301 For certes, God almyghty is al good, and therfore he foryeveth al or elles right noght.354
ParsT 314A for soothly he ne sholde nat thanne in al his lyf have corage to synne,378
ParsT 314B but yeven his body and al his herte to the service of Jhesu Crist, and therof doon hym hommage.378
ParsT 320 Al moot be seyd, and no thyng excused ne hyd ne forwrapped, and noght avaunte thee of thy goode werkes.386
ParsT 324A wheither he wolde or noon, and al his progenye in this world, that in thilke man synneden.392
ParsT 339 Therfore, al the while that a man hath in hym the peyne of concupiscence,422
ParsT 341A but if he were al refreyded by siknesse, or by malefice of sorcerie, or colde drynkes.428
ParsT 346 yet seyde he that " the brennynge of lecherie boyled in al his body. " 438
ParsT 357 For certes, thanne is a man al deed in soule. 458
ParsT 360B they mowe ful lightly amenuse in hym al the love that he hath to Jhesu Crist;468
ParsT 369A For sooth is that if a man yeve his love, the which that he oweth al to God with al his herte, unto a creature,484
ParsT 369A For sooth is that if a man yeve his love, the which that he oweth al to God with al his herte, unto a creature,484
ParsT 370 and therfore dooth he synne. For he that is dettour to God ne yeldeth nat to God al his dette;486
ParsT 370A that is to seyn, al the love of his herte. 488
ParsT 382 Now shal men understonde that, al be it so that noon erthely man may eschue alle venial synnes,508
ParsT 383 For, as seith Seint Augustyn, " If a man love God in swich manere that al that evere he dooth512
ParsT 407A er he wole salewe, al be he lasse worth than that oother is, peraventure;548
ParsT 419A as wel of man as of womman, that al thilke trailyng is verraily as in effect wasted, consumed, thredbare, and roten with donge,570
ParsT 442A " Wikked deeth moote come upon thilke lordshipes, and God yeve that they moote descenden into helle al doun,610
ParsT 449A ayeyn, al been they grevouse synnes, I gesse that they ne been nat deedly.624
ParsT 460 And over al this, strengthe of body and worldly hardynesse causeth ful ofte many a man to peril and meschaunce.642
ParsT 482A The seconde is to chese the loweste place over al. The thridde is gladly to assente to good conseil.680
ParsT 485 This foule synne is platly agayns the Hooly Goost. Al be it so that every synne is agayns the Hooly Goost,686
ParsT 487A and eek whan he werreyeth the grace that God hath yeve to his neighebor; and al this is by Envye.692
ParsT 494A that is digne of moore blame than worth is al the preisynge. 706
ParsT 495A the bakbitere wol turne al thilke goodnesse up-so-doun to his shrewed entente.708
ParsT 511 Thanne cometh discord that unbyndeth alle manere of freendshipe. Thanne comth scornynge of his neighebor, al do he never so weel.732
ParsT 518A and conforten hym in his anoyes, and preye for hym with al thyn herte.746
ParsT 551A and covere the coles of it with asshen, soothly the fir of it wol lasten al a yeer or moore.800
ParsT 553 But certes, thilke man is ful fer fro the mercy of God al thilke while.804
ParsT 557A For soothly, almoost al the harm that any man dooth to his neighebor comth of wratthe.808
ParsT 558 For certes, outrageous wratthe dooth al that evere the devel hym comaundeth, for he ne spareth neither Crist ne his sweete Mooder.810
ParsT 560A and al his debonaire lif espiritueel that sholde kepen his soule.814
ParsT 601B And what of hem that of verray usage ne cesse nat to swere grete othes, al be the cause nat worth a straw?898
ParsT 604 I kan nat seye but that they doon cursedly and dampnably agayns Crist and al the feith of hooly chirche.904
ParsT 606 Certes, al this thyng is deffended by God and by hooly chirche. 906
ParsT 610B and peynten it with alle circumstaunces, where al the ground of the tale is fals.916
ParsT 648 And al be it that ydel wordes been somtyme venial synne, 984
ParsT 665A he was despoyled of al that he hadde in this lyf, and that nas but his clothes.1016
ParsT 666 The thridde grevance is a man to have harm in his body. That suffred Crist ful paciently in al his passioun.1018
ParsT 672A that han lost al youre pacience for the gilt of a child. " 1032
ParsT 673 " For sothe, " quod the maister al wepynge, " thow seyst sooth. Have thow the yerde, my deere sone, and correcte me for myn inpacience. " 1032
ParsT 675A whan that a man dooth gladly and hastily, with good herte entierly, al that he sholde do.1036
ParsT 684A And certes, to alle thise thynges is Accidie enemy and contrarie, for he loveth no bisynesse at al.1052
ParsT 688A as seith Salomon, that he wol nat suffre noon hardnesse ne penaunce, and therfore he shendeth al that he dooth.1060
ParsT 694 thurgh which despeir or drede he abaundoneth al his herte to every maner synne, as seith Seint Augustin.1072
ParsT 713A and abaundone hymself, with al his myght, wel for to doon. 1104
ParsT 722A Thanne comth a manere cooldnesse, that freseth al the herte of a man.1122
ParsT 723B ne travaille with his handes in no good werk, that it nys hym unsavory and al apalled.1124
ParsT 745 Soothly, this Avarice is a synne that is ful dampnable, for al hooly writ curseth it and speketh agayns that vice,1164
ParsT 770A that thilke tyme that al this world was in synne, thanne was al this world in thraldom and subjeccioun.1212
ParsT 770A that thilke tyme that al this world was in synne, thanne was al this world in thraldom and subjeccioun.1212
ParsT 782A al be it that his desir ne take noon effect, yet is it to hym a deedly synne;1238
ParsT 812A and eek that he shal forgon al that he hath, save oonly that he hath despended in goode werkes.1294
ParsT 819 This synne corrumped al this world, as is wel shewed in the synne of Adam and of Eve.1306
ParsT 823A or hath feblesse in his heed, or hath travailed, thurgh which he drynketh the moore, al be he sodeynly caught with drynke,1316
ParsT 824 The seconde spece of glotonye is that the spirit of a man wexeth al trouble,1318
ParsT 839 Forther over, by the synne of lecherie God dreynte al the world at the diluge.1346
ParsT 850 This synne, as seith the prophete, bireveth man and womman hir goode fame and al hire honour,1366
ParsT 864A [and] grymnesse of develes, that shullen al totrede hem withouten respit and withouten ende.1392
ParsT 866 Al that is enemy and destruccioun to nature is agayns nature. 1396
ParsT 873 And al be it so that I have spoken somwhat of avowtrie, 1408
ParsT 880A " Lo, my lady, how my lord hath take to me under my warde al that he hath in this world,1422
ParsT 881A God it forbeede! " Allas, al to litel is swich trouthe now yfounde.1424
ParsT 893 And forther over, sooth is that hooly ordre is chief of al the tresorie of God1446
ParsT 899 So faren they by wommen. For right as a free bole is ynough for al a toun,1462
ParsT 899A right so is a wikked preest corrupcioun ynough for al a parisshe, or for al a contree.1462
ParsT 899A right so is a wikked preest corrupcioun ynough for al a parisshe, or for al a contree.1462
ParsT 903A the malisoun of al the court Cristien, til they come to amendement.1472
ParsT 905A by cause that they been maried, al is good ynough, as thynketh to hem.1476
ParsT 917A thurgh which they may nat be departed in al hir lyf -- that is to seyn, whil that they lyven bothe.1500
ParsT 920B and maketh the hertes al oon of hem that been ywedded, as wel as the bodies.1508
ParsT 937 And aboven alle worldly thyng she sholde loven hire housbonde with al hire herte, and to hym be trewe of hir body.1540
ParsT 938 So sholde an housbonde eek be to his wyf. For sith that al the body is the housbondes,1540
ParsT 946 And certes, if that a wyf koude kepen hire al chaast by licence of hir housbonde,1560
ParsT 953A by whiche he douteth to be tempted, for al be it so that the dede be withstonden, yet is ther greet temptacioun.1574
ParsT 959 " Synne is every word and every dede, and al that men coveiten, agayn the lawe of Jhesu Crist;1584
ParsT 966 And the preest sholde be enterdited that dide swich a vileynye; to terme of al his lif he sholde namoore synge masse,1600
ParsT 972 For which that folk, whan they falle agayn in hir olde folies, outher they forleten hir olde confessours al outrely1610
ParsT 978 and hath peraventure broken therfore his penance enjoyned, by whos help and whos conseil, by sorcerie or craft; al moste be toold.1620
ParsT 1007 For certes Jhesu Crist is entierly al good; in hym nys noon imperfeccioun,1678
ParsT 1007A and therfore outher he foryeveth al parfitly or elles never a deel.1678
ParsT 1008A that thow art bounde to shewen hym al the remenaunt of thy synnes, of whiche thow hast be shryven of thy curaat,1680
ParsT 1049A and in forberynge of deedly synne; this is to seyn, that a man shal kepen hym fro deedly synne with al his myght.1760
ParsT 1064 For alle the creatures in hevene, in erthe, and in helle shullen seen apertly al that they hyden in this world.1786
ParsT 1075A and of al hooly chirche, and of the proteccioun of aungels, if hym list.1808
ParsT 1081B that therof they thanken oure Lord Jhesu Crist, of whom procedeth al wit and al goodnesse.1822
ParsT 1081B that therof they thanken oure Lord Jhesu Crist, of whom procedeth al wit and al goodnesse.1822
ParsT 1083 For oure book seith, " Al that is writen is writen for oure doctrine, " 1824
