❧ My Lordes, I say that auricu¦lar cōfession, seinge that it hath no promesse of the Euangell, therfore it cannot be a sacramēt Of the cō∣fession * 1.1 to be made to god, there are many testimonies in scripture, as when Dauid sayeth. I thoughte that I woulde knoweledge myne iniquitie against my selfe vnto the Lorde, and he forgaue the trespase of my synnes. Here confession sig∣nifieth the secrete knoweledge of oure synnes before God. When I exhorted the people in thys maner,
I reproued no maner of confessi∣on And farther sainct Iames say∣eth. Knowledge your sinnes one to * 1.2 an other, and so let you haue peace amonge your selues. When that he had sayed these wordes, the bi∣shoppes and their complices cryed and girned wyth their teeth, sai∣ynge: Se ye not what colours he hath in his speakyng, that he may begile vs and seduce vs to his opi∣nion.
Ps. xxxii
