CHAP. VIII. Of the Jewish Exomologesis, or public Declaration of Repentance by confession of sin.
CHAP. VIII. Of the Iewish Exomologesis, or publike Declaration of Repentance by confession of sinne.
The Heathens had their public Declaration of repentance from the Jews. The Jewish Exomologesis proved from the imposition of hands upon ⟨image 15⟩the head of the Sacrifice. The Law Lev. 5. 5. did also appoint Confession of sin, to be made at the offering of a Trespass offering. Which confession was made in the Temple, and in the Priests hearing▪ The Law of confessing sin Num. 5, 6, 7. explained, and divers particulars concerning confession deduced from it. Other proofs of the Jewish Confession of sins from Joh. 9. 24. Also from that which intervened between their Excommunication and their absolution. From Ezra 10 10, 11. That Davids confession Psalm 51. was published in the Temple, after ministerial conviction by Nathan. That if there be necessity of satisfying an offended brother, how much more of satisfying an offended Church?
