Ethics
The beginning of the book of Master Peter Abelard which is called know thyself
Of vice of the mind which concerns morals
The difference between sin and vice inclining to evil
What is mental vice and what is properly said to be sin
Of the suggestions of demons
Why works of sin are punished rather than sin itself
Of spiritual or carnal sins
Why God is said to be the inspector of the heart and the reins
Of the reward of outward works
That God and man united in Christ are not something better than God alone
That a multitude of good things is not better than one of the good things
That a work is good by reason of a good intention
Whence an intention should be said to be good
That there is no sin unless it is against conscience
In how many ways may we speak of sin?
Whether every sin is forbidden
Whether it is better to abstain from lighter faults than from graver
Of the reconciliation of sins
What may be said properly to be repentance
Of fruitful repentance
Whether one can repent of one sin without repenting of another
It is not unjust for a worthy man not to be given a reward
Of irremissible sin
Whether penitents take away with them from here the sigh of their sorrow
Of confession
That sometimes confession may be dispensed with
Whether it pertains generally to all prelates to loose and to bind
The beginning of the second
