Of brotherly reconciliation. Chap. 47.
1Moreover, even as God would that every man should confess his faults, ⟨p. 49⟩to obtain forgiveness, even so he would that such as have offended,2 either the Church in general, or any of the members of the same and of their brethren in particular, should acknowledge and confess their fault, so far forth as the true discipline of the Church and Christian Charity do require, and that they reconcile themselves with those whom they have offended, and have done wrong unto. For such thing is required, to repair the slander and offence which they have made, & to entertain the peace, the union, and the Christian charity in the Church.
