Translator's note. A list of sins in a confession, continuing from the lines before. 'sunderêwe' (143.32), 'a law of one's own', may mean singularity or heresy. 'einstrîtige' read as obstinacy. 'heilsôde' (143.36) is obscure; taken as divination for luck (heil). 'merrsal' (143.37) is obscure, from merren 'hinder' or mern 'mix'; 'gotes reht' may here be the ordeal, so perhaps 'hindering' or 'tampering with' it.
The whole original: ReM 2.1 at Zenodo (open M089).
