Hence, Before He Acts He Must Lay Aside The Doubt; And If He Has Not Hitherto Done So, He Must Confess It, At Least, As It Is Before God. But The Scrupulous, Who Have Doubts About Everything, Must Follow Another Rule: They Must Obey Their Confessor.

Assuredly, Loving Souls, You Should Go To God With All Humility And Respect, Humbling Yourselves In His Presence, Especially When You Remember Your Past Ingratitude And Sins.
