that hath â—Ã©emed rather to loue vertue godlinesse â—han followed them effectuously and in â—abouring to couer hys nakednesse and hide his abhominations hathe vsed no other couerture than the leaues of fig trÃ©es that is to say hath shadowed his moste moÌ„strous horrible offences against god with no other thing but only with a preteÌ„ce of wisedome discretion diligence honeâ—â— merites and mortifications And this is moste gratious Princâ— the confession which we learne out of tâ—â— worde of God namely that whiche Gâ— hymselfe doth force out of mans myâ—â— by the vertue and efficacie of the lawâ— as it were with certaine pricks and stâ—ges when man is compelled by the mâ—tion of Gods holy spirit to acknowledgâ— and confesse hymselfe to bÃ©e inwardeâ— corrupted and defiled with sinne Aâ—â— out of this confession lyke as oute of ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ spring or head do issue diuers other sortâ— of confession Firste when a man calleth to mynd with howe greate and howe manifoldâ— sinnes he is defiled and howe sore an aduersary the decrÃ©e and sentence pronouâ—ced in the lawe is vnto him wherevppoâ— he bewaileth his sinnes vnto God daily and brusteth out into these wordes of the holye Prophet O Lorde I was conceiued in iniquitie and in sin hathe my mother coÌ„ceiued me Creat in me O Lord a newe hearte and a right spirite within me â—â—tified in thy sight And wyth the publiâ—ane humbleth hymselfe saying on thys â—ise Lord be mercifull vnto me a sinner â—nd with the prodigall childe O Lorde ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ am not worthy to bÃ©e called thy sonne â—c And these be the confessions whyche â—he elect of God ought to make daily vnâ—o God both with hart and tongue who â—auing tasted the singuler mercy of God â—owarde them call vppon hym wythout â—eassing that they might euerye daye bÃ©e more and more purged froÌ„ the filth and â—tayne of sinne The seconde kinde of confession is very Christianlike when a man is so sore touched and stong in his conscience wyth the sense of sinne that hÃ©e perceiueth hys fayth to fainte and waxe weake by the terroure of the lawe as it were wyth a continuall assaulte and batterie wherby he is compelled for wante of sufficiencie in himselfe to praye aide of another into whose bosome he might poure all the secrete griefes of his hearte as to his most faithfull and assured friende to the ende that he might receiue some present remedie for his wouÌ„ded conscience The wâ—â—che kinde of confessing God hathe commaunded to bÃ©e obserued and kepte in hiâ— Churche to beate downe the prouâ— and arrogant opinion of learning anâ— wisedome in man that euery man might thinke humbly of himselfe forasmuch as they stande very many times in nÃ©ede of the aide comforte and aduice of other And this confession or conference in hyâ— whose conscience is wounded or troubled may be very well had and vsed with the pastours doctours and preachers ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ the Churche hauing assuraunce of theyâ— faithfulnesse in their vocation and likelihoode that they are called to that function and ministerie by the holy spirite thaâ— they might coÌ„fort and cherish the weaklings by their discrete language as thâ— prophet saith The thirde sorte of confession is when the faithfull disciple of the holy ghoste doth plainely confesse his offences before men of a certaine earneste and vehemeÌ„t zeale of humbling himselfe considering therewithall that God the sercher of mans secrets dothe know anâ— sÃ©e the same already and in this imagiâ—ation perswadeth himselfe that all the â—reatures of the worlde woulde conspire â—gainste him if he himselfe shoulde not â—penly confesse declare to al the world â—n such sorte as the posteritie that commeth after him might know them likewise And that Dauid vsed this kinde of â—onfession is manifest by the .32 and .51 psalme which sÃ©eme to be committed to writing to the ende that it bothe mighte be a president of publike confession vnto â—ll men that men might likewise therby vnderstand into how greate and heinous sinnes that beloued of the Lorde and specially elect to gouerne his people did fall and yÃ©eld himselfe In like maner is that notable confession of Daniell and that of Paule wherby he is not ashamed to confesse of himself that he was a blasphemer of god a persecutor of hys church Austine likewise in a certaine little treatise reckneth vp al his offeÌ„ces eueÌ„ froÌ„ his very first coÌ„ming to mans estate And this kinde of coÌ„fessing opeÌ„ly of theÌ„selues doth greatly declare the great modesty and lowlinesse of minde in the confessor worthye greate praise and commendations and partly it is a great comforte vnto others that are greuously loden with the heauy burthen of sinne to driue them from dispaire by hope in the mercies of god whiche they sÃ©e other in like case haue atteyned before them There is also a fourth kinde when euery one in the face of the congregation folowing the minister doth secretly confesse himselfe before God to be compassed rounde aboute wyth manifold sinnes and offences and wrapped in moste palpable mists of ignorance and blindnesse besÃ©eching God from the bottome of hys heart to lighten his mind and vnderstanding by the preaching of his Gospel For so he perswadeth himselfe and firmelye beleueth that remission of sinnes is published and wrought by the preaching of the Gospell and that onely throughe the sheading of the moste precious bloud of the immaculate lambe There is yet also one other manner of confessing whiche we may call reconciling our selues vnto our neighbour wheÌ„â—e both confesse our selues to haue offenâ—ed him by word and dÃ©ede and pray parâ—â—n and forgiuenesse of our trespas comâ—itted according to the prescripte comâ—aundement and direction of our Lorde â—nd sauiour Iesus Christe Math. and â—ames 5. but it wÃ©e committe any open â—ime so that the shame and slauÌ„der therof â—oth redounde to the Churche and is ofâ—ence vnto others the godlye doe not reâ—use in suche a case to make open confesâ—on the whiche custome both the olde â—athers in time past didde obserue themâ—elues and deliuered ouer to their posteriâ—ie as appeareth by the Cannons that â—reate of penaunce The obseruation â—nd execution whereof the Churche of Rome omitting and neglecting brought â—n a corrupt custome in place therof that some one Prieste or Chaplayne shoulde secretely shrine suche as had offended openly and heare their confession in corners for sauing of their honesty and their good name whereby did growe two most notorious and shamefull abuses for by means that priuate and auriculer confeâ—sion came in place of the open declaration of faultes bothe all good order aâ—â— discipline went to wracke and most mâ—serable tiranny beganne to vsurpe in thâ— poore afflicted consciences Secondariâ—â— in that there were certaine penitentâ—â—ries appoynted at Rome or rather pâ—â—lers of pardoÌ„s that retailed their Indulgences for mony to euery man that lifâ—â—â— to buy them whereby oure aduersaries muste nÃ©edes be driuen to confesse thâ—â— causelesse they call vs heretiks and moâ—â— falsely
