AS concerning confession and absolution, the word of God doth not acknowledge or receive any such, as the Papists do make in the ear of their priests,¹ to have absolution and remission of their sins by them. For the holy Scriptures show us none other that can pardon sins, but only God. And by consequent they appoint us none other, to whom we must make confession, for to obtain absolution and pardon. In like sort we have no example in all the true servants of God, of any other confession and absolution for the remission of sins towards God, the which he giveth not but in his Church, and to the true members of the same.
