Confession is to the soul as the whetstone is to the knife, that sharpens it and puts an edge upon it; so doth confession of sin, confessing thy evils to God doth sharpen and put an edge on thy supplications: that man will pray but faintly, that doth confess sin but slightly. Solemn and secret confessions of thy evils unto God, doth greatly help to quicken strong supplications in thy heart unto God.
