seven sins

***
pride is the sin, the opposite virtue is humility
envy is the sin, the opposite virtue is loving kindness
wrath is the sin, the opposite virtue is gentleness
sloth is the sin, the opposite virtue is diligence
avarice is the sin, the opposite virtue is generosity
gluttony is the sin, the opposite virtue is temperance
lechery is the sin, the opposite virtue is chastity

and first follow the names of the failings you may confess when you have erred therein, and after them the virtues,
in which henceforth you ought to continue.
