First, Confession of sin to God hath been practised by all the godly under the Old Testament; and therefore why should it not be used under the New?
Dan. 9. He made a prayer to God, and it consisted of 16. verses, and 14. of them verses were spent in confessing of sin.
And thus the godly in Nehemiah's days made a prayer to God, and the whole prayer consisted of 32. verses, and 31. of them verses were spent in confession of sin. Nehem. 1.6. Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayst hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee, both I and my fathers house have sinned.

Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayst hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confesse the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee, both I and my fathers house have sinned.
