Ælfric, Ælfric's Lives of Saints — Of the memory of the Saints
“ The fifth is Tristitia, that is this world's Sorrow; this is when a man sorroweth all too sorely for the loss of his goods, which he loved too much, and then chideth with God, and addeth to his sins. Two sorrows are there; one is this evil [Sorrow] , and the other is salutary, which is that a man sorrow for his sins. The sixth sin is called Accidia, that is, in English, Idleness or Sloth, when a man careth not to do any good in his life, and a great evil is then his, that he can never do any good, and is ever unready for any virtue. ”
