SECTION 2.
Though I have more than once Published the Confession of many of my youthful and later Sins, the renewed loud call of Accusers and of Approaching Death, provoketh me to do it again, before I call others to Repentance.
THough I have more than once Published the Confession of many of my youthful and later Sins, the renewed loud call of Accusers and of Approaching Death, provoketh me to do it again, before I call others to Repentance.

Though from the first of my remembrance I liked Religious Goodness, and feared sinning since my Father had talked to me of God and Sin and the World to come, yet it was many Years before I was humbled for my Original Sin, or felt much of the need of a Saviour, or understood the Doctrine of the Scripture, but only delighted in the Historical part: And though my Conscience troubled me for a Lie to scape Danger, it did not always keep me from it.
