1Another confession is there which goeth before faith and accompanieth repentance. For who so ever repenteth doeth knowledge his since in his heart. And who soever doeth knowledge his sins receiveth forgiveness (as saith John. in the first of his first Pistle) If we knowledge our since he is faithful & just to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness / that is / because he / hath promised / he must for his truths sake do it. This confession is necessary all our lives long / as is repentance. And as thou understandest of repentance / so understand of this confession for it is like wise included in the sacrament of Baptism. For we all ways repent and all ways knowledge or confess our since unto god / and yet despair not: but remember that we are washed in Christs blood / which thing our baptism doth represent & signify unto us.
1A nother confession is there which goeth before fayth and accompanyeth repentaūce. For who so ever repenteth doeth knowlege his synnes in his herte. And who soever doeth knowlege his sinnes receaveth forgevenes (as saith Iohn. in the fyrst of his first Pistle) Yf we knowlege oure synnes he is faythfull & iust to forgeve vs oure sinnes & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes / that is / because he / hath promised / he must for his truethes sake doo it. This confession is necessarye all oure lyves longe / as is repentaunce. And as thou vnderstondest of repentaunce / so vnderstonde of this confession for it is lyke wise included in the sacramēte of Baptim. For we all wayes repente and all wayes knowleage or cō fesse oure synnes vnto god / and yet dispeare not: but remembre that we are washed in Christes bloude / which thinge oure baptim doth represente & signifie vnto vs.
