The Fifteenth accused Point.
That we ought not to confess our Sins to any man but to God only.
Ans. This is a mere impudent Lie.
1. We ought to confess our Sin, to the Magistrate at his Judicature, when we are justly accused of it.
2. And to those that we have injured, when it is needful to repair the wrong, or to procure their forgiveness.
3. And to those that we have tempted into Sin, or encouraged in it, when it is needful to their Repentance.
