Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Confession is either private, or public: Private first unto the Lord, secondly unto men: first, for our own sins: secondly, for the sins of others. Public, first unto God with men, and before men: secondly, unto God and unto men.
Confession is either priuate, or publike: Priuate first vnto the Lord, secondly vnto men: first, for our owne sinnes: secondly, for the sinnes of others. Publike, first vnto God with men, and before men: secondly, vnto God and vnto men.
That which cannot be done publicly must be done privately. And if ever public exercise be done with fruit, the private must prepare thee for it, as reading, fasting, prayer, conference, admonishing and rebuking thy self. And without confession privately, we will never confess publicly.
That which cannot be done publikely must be done priuately. And if euer publike exercise be done with fruite, the priuate must prepare thee for it, as reading, fasting, prayer, conference, admonishing and rebuking thy selfe. And without confession priuately, wee will neuer confesse publikely.
Confession to God is never to be omitted, nor to men, when the occasion is necessary.
