The third manner of confession1 ⟨p. 74⟩of since is a private confession to man. And it is of two sorts. The first is for the direction, establishment & comfort of a mans own conscience towards God. The other is touching the reconciliation & confession of a mans fault & trespass to his neighbour whom he hath offended.2 And as touching the first way of private confession unto man, I think it is a good & wholesome manner & fashion convenient & needful to be used & observed of many of God's people for three causes, that is, for knowledge, counsel and for comfort.
