Though carnall men of all sorts thinke it is an easie thing to confesse to God: yet if we consider how hardly we are drawne to confesse to men, we may thereby knowe how loth we are truly to confesse vnto God: which appeareth both in the vnregenerate and the regenerate.
As Adam for example, who was ashamed of the nakedness of his body: but when he looked at his soul he pleaded not guilty, but went about to derive his sin to the woman, and the woman to the Serpent.
