Eighthly I did persecute them to strange Cities; them I did not kill, I made them leave their wives and children, and made them run and shift for their lives into strange corners. This is the nature of a true penitent, not to confess sin slightly and carelessly, but in confession of sin to clothe ⟨p. 25⟩his sins with all the aggravations that can be, and this is a good Rule if you well follow it. You have the like instance in the book of Daniel chap. 9. vers. 5. 1We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts, and from thy judgements. Vers. 6. vers. 6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the Prophets, which spake in thy Name to our Kings, our Princes, and our Fathers, and to all the people of the Land. There are seven circumstances that Daniel useth in confessing of his sin, to aggravate his sin, how doth Daniel clothe his confession. First, We have sinned, there is one. Secondly, We have committed iniquity. Thirdly, We have done wickedly. Fourthly, We have rebelled against thee. Fifthly, We have departed from thy precepts. Sixthly, We have not hearkened unto thy servants. Seventhly, Nor we nor our Princes, nor all the people of the land: there are seven aggravations which Daniel reckoneth up to his confession: that is a third Rule about confession.
