Reas. 2. In respect of our selves;

2. Confession of sin to God, doth restrain us from Commission of sin, for a man considers he must come before God, and break his heart for it, and an ingenuous heart is more ashamed of his sin before God, than before men, Ps. 51. Against thee, against thee only have I sinned, that most affected him.
