316. The subject of this second Chapter, viz. Confession, is interrupted,
in §§ 23-84, by a long description of the Seven Deadly Sins. The subject is
resumed in § 85, at p. 634. As to Confession, compare the Ancren Riwle, p.
299, and Myre's Instructions for Parish Priests, p. 24.
317. _And whether it oghte nedes be doon or noon._ Here again, as in 83
above, Chaucer forgets this clause, and pays no more heed to the matter.
320. Before _avaunte_, understand _he moot_; i. e. and (he must) not boast
of his good works. Compare Ancren Riwle, p. 317; Wyclif's Works, ed.
Arnold, iii. 255.
