They have feigned confession for the same purpose to stablish their kingdom 1with all. All secretes know they thereby. The Bishop knoweth the confession of whom he lusteth throughout all his Diocese. Yea and his Chancellor commandeth the ghostly father to deliver it written. The pope, his Cardinals and Bishops know the confession of the Emperor, Kings, & of all Lords: & by confession they know all their captives. If any believe in Christ, by confession they know him. Shrive thy self where thou wilt, whether at 2Zion charterhouse or at the observants thy confession is known well enough. And thou, if thou believe in Christ, art waited upon. Wonderful are the things that thereby are wrought. The wife is feared and compelled to utter not her own only but also the secretes of her husband, and the servant the secretes of his master. Besides that thorough confession they quench the faith of all the promises of God, and take away the effect and virtue of all the Sacraments of Christ.
