CONFESSION.
Confession is an acknowledgment of
our faults, and such an acknowledg∣ment
as ingages the person to whom it
is address'd to pardon the fault, the
hopes of which pardon gives us the
confidence to confess. And this is a
Figure very frequent in the Psalms of
David, and particularly in the Twenty
fifth Psalm.
Let not my sins to thy remembrance come,Nor all those spots which stain'd my youth;But wash them out, and mindful of thy truth,Receive the Prodigal returning home,And let thy Mercy for thy ancient Love make room.
