108. Cf. P. Plowman, C. xvii. 29:--

'_Cordis contricio_ cometh of sorwe in herte,

And _oris confessio_, that cometh of shrifte of mouthe,

And _operis satisfactio_, that for synnes payeth

And for alle synnes soueraynliche quiteth:

_Cordis contricio, oris confessio, operis satisfactio_.'

I find 'confessio' and 'cordis contritio' mentioned near together in the

Latin version of St. Chrysostom's 20th homily on Genesis, cap. iv; ed.

Migne, vol. liii. col. 170.
