These words are spelled very similarly with different meanings, so this is likely a transcription error. Both are present active infinitives.
.
'Accedere' means to come near, approach while 'accidere' means to descend or to happen.
The sentence is: 'dum rogarem ne ullum peccatum umquam permittatur in me accedere/accidere propter demerita praeterita' (While I was asking lest any sin be permitted to occur in me because of a past defect) so probably either option could work.
