PROPOSITION IV.
That we must confess our sins fully, without any li• ding or reserves. The Psalmist contents not himself with saying, that he resolved to confess his sin• and that he did actually acknowledge his transgression and his sin; but he adds, that he had not• hidden it. Though there was a time when he• kept sinful silence, yet when he was brought to confess, he did it plumply, he made a through work of it, and it was his transgressions, not this• or that, but all: And there are two things point ted at in it.
