We see here holy men themselves confesse ⟨p. 291⟩their sins and ranke themselves among sinners in their confessions, so we learne hence this,
That we in our confessions (in our Fastings especially) ought to rank our selves amongst the rest of sinners, 1and not to exempt our selves from other sinners. Perhaps we are not guilty of some sins that they have been guilty off: God hath been merciful to us and kept us in obedience in some things: but alas there is none of us all but we have had a hand in the sins of the times, the best of all conditions are guilty of them; therefore we have cause to rank our selves among others, as he saith here. We are all as an unclean thing, and as Daniel, he makes a confession of the sins of all, we are all of us guilty.
