Likewise S. Augustine: Quid mihi est cum hominibus, ut audiant confessiones meas, quasi ipsi sanaturi sint omnes languores meos? Curiosum genus ad inquirendam vitam alienam, desidiosum ad corrigendam suam. What have I to do with men, that they should hear my confessions, as if they could heal all my wounds, or diseases? They be a curious sort, in searching out the life of others, and slothful in correcting their own life. ⟨image 182⟩S. Ambrose saith, Lavat lachrima delictum, quod voce pudor est confiteri. The tear washeth away 1that offence, which shame would not suffer to confess in speech. The Church of God in Graecia, never received it. And Erasmus witnesseth, it was not used in the time of S. Hierome. Apparat tempore Hieronimi nondum institutam 2fuisse secretam admissorum confessionem. It appeareth that in the time of S. Hierome (which was four hundred years after Christ) secret confession of sins was not yet ordained.
