Heavier vs lighter sins need different repentance—special contrition vs general humble confession
Daily lighter faults vs flesh-works that cannot coexist with true holiness—two repentance modes.
Heavier: special contrition; lighter: humble general confession of corruption (Ps 19).
Latin
IX. Non abs re autem hic fuerit observare, quemadmodum sunt quaedam peccata leviora, quibus ipsi fideles & justi nunquam in totum in hac vita carent, alia vero graviora, quae Apostolus vocat opera carnis, & quae cum vera justitia & sanctitate compati non possunt; ita quoque diversam esse rationem poenitentiae, quae ad horum, & illorum remissionem requiritur. Nam ad peccatorum istorum graviorum remissionem impetrandam, opus est speciali quoque dolore seu contritione: At pro peccatis illis levioribus, & quae Theologi vocant quotidianae incursiones, acceptatur a Deo generalis, sed humilis & seria corruptionis nostrae agnitio, adjunctam habens generalem illam deprecationem, qua utitur Propheta, Psalm. 19. Ab occultis munda me Domine. Quia delicta illa leviora multo maxima ex parte scientiam nostram fugiunt.
