Confuted by their owne Bible.
I. It affordeth no commandement, or any example hereof, either in the Old Testament, or in the New, that any should goe to a Priest secretly, and make confession after this manner to him. Therefore this is no diuine ordinance necessary to Sal∣uation.
II. Promises of mercy and forgiuenesse are made to the confession of sinnes, not mentioning the particular enumera∣tion of them to a Priest, 1. Ioh. 1. 9. Prou. 28. 13. Therefore there is pardon without this burthensome ordinance, which is maintained so strictly among the Romanists, that thereby the Priests may tyrannize ouer the consciences of the poore Lay-Catholiques, and further serue their owne turnes for politique ends.
III. There are examples of such as obtained pardon. First, by confession onely to God, as Dauid himselfe withesseth in Psal. 32. 5, 6. Secondly, by making onely a generall confession, as Dauid did, 2. Sam. 12. 13. This wee see also to be so in the Publicanes confession, Luk. 18. 13, 14. in Zacheus confession, Luk. 19. 8, 9. in the Prodigall sons confession, Luk. 15. 21. and

thirdly, by onely hearty contrition, without any vocall con∣fession at all, as in the example of that Woman, which with teares washed Christs feet, Luk. 7. 38.
Therefore this comming to a Priest, and numbring vp sinnes in particular, is not absolutely necessarie to obtaine pardon of them.
