What it is
An argument that communion should be approached only after real penitence, against confessors who admitted penitents again the same week.
Why it lasted
The opening salvo of the public Jansenist campaign, and the reason Jansenism became associated with severity at the altar rail.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
