A second Case wherein you are to confess sin to men, is, in Case of private injury done to thy neighbour, in case of wrong, personal injury done to thy neighbour, thou art to confess sin unto him. Mat. 5. 23, 24. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the Altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee: leave there thy gift before the Altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. If thy brother can say thou hast done him wrong, then go first to thy brother and be reconciled to him. Christ directs that in case of private and personal wrongs I am bound to make confession, and give all just satisfaction to the man whom I have wronged. And this Christ adviseth further, in Luke 17. 3, 4. Take heed to your selves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him, and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Christ doth here intimate, that we are to confess sin to our brother whom we have wronged; to private men, against whom we have done private injuries; not only to God, but to them. That is a second Case wherein confession of sin is required to men as well as to God.

And this Christ adviseth further, in Luke 17. 3, 4. Take heed to your selves: if thy brother trespasse against thee, rebuke him, and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespasse against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
