It is a sign of a very hard heart not to confess in affliction when Gods hand is upon us, Pharaoh would do thus: and 'tis that which God requires. Joshua bids Acan, Give glory to God my son and confess; Conf•ssi•n give• glory to God, and when thou standest ou• in this thing, thou opposest God in his glory. Latimer reports of a man in his time who was to be executed at Oxford for some villainy, being brought to the place of execution, much means was used to him, that he would confess the act, but none could prevail, being turned off, and after a space hanging he was cut down, and when he was cut down, they perceived he was not quite dead, they carrying him to a fire, and by means used came to himself, and then he confessed all of himself to the full. This example may show us thus much, not always to conclude men ⟨p. 516⟩are not guilty, when they confess nothing, there is that stoutness in the hearts of men, that they will rather venture damnation, than yield to men.
