Having confessed mine own sin, then must I look unto others; and to Gods judgements against others, and so upon mercies showed to others, that I may learn to prevent and remove judgements, and to obtain and continue mercy by confession.
Hauing confessed mine owne sinne, then must I looke vnto others; and to Gods iudgements against others, and so vpon mercies shewed to others, that I may learne to preuent and remoue iudgements, and to obtaine and continue mercie by confession.
And though we have no Nehemiahs to confess publicly, Nehem. 9. yet let some stand in the gap privately to pray for the people, that the people also may pray for us; and every one must so much more lament as his calling requires. Whose sins thou hast not acknowledged, thou art partaker of them; and if thou admonish not, and do what thou canst with thy kinsfolks and friends to recover them, thou canst not clear thy self of being guilty of their iniquity: but if thou be grieved, and confessest and prayest privately for the sins of thy brother, then mayest thou avoid vainglory in the public.

Whose sinnes thou hast not acknowledged, thou art partaker of them; and if thou admonish not, and do what thou canst with thy kinsfolkes and friends to recouer them, thou canst not cleere thy selfe of being guiltie of their iniquitie: but if thou bee grieued, and confessest and prayest priuately for the sinnes of thy brother, then maiest thou auoid vaineglory in the publique.
