You are to remember, that there is a great Measure of Discretion to be used in the Performance of this: so that you may neither omit it, when your own heart may tell you that there is some∣thing amiss in you which must be look'd after; nor on the other side over-scru∣pulously pursue it, when you are not con∣scious to your self of any notable Fail∣ings, but such as are incident to humane frailty: for if you do not wilfully pass over any of your greater Offences, but confess particularly, and repent seriously of them, God will more easily pass by your lesser Infirmities, being such as the Holy Prophet despaired of finding out, when he so sadly complained, Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
