* 1.1If wee confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull and iust (see the cer∣tainty of this promise) to for∣give us our sinnes, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousnesse, See the extent and largenesse of this promise, 1 Ioh. 1.9. Cum homo agnoscit. Deus ignoscit, saith Au∣stin. Hee that confesseth and for∣saketh his sinnes shall have mercy, Pro. 28.13.
If we would iudge our selves, we should not be iudged, 1 Cor. 11.31. Jer. 3.12, 13.
descriptionPage 333
Hee looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and per∣verted that which was right and it profited mee not; He will deliver his soule from going downe into the pit, and his life shall see the light, Iob 33.27, 28.
Notes
* 1.1
Man taketh advantage from the de∣linquents confession, confesse (we s••y) and be hanged. But with God, that may rather be a proverbe, Confesse & be saved. Psal. 32.5. See Levit. 26 40, 41, 42.
