I Would gladly vnderstande of thée, if that after that a man haue proued himselfe in such sorte as thou hast alredy declared, he haue no néede to cōfesse him∣selfe yet to some minister of the Church.
If he be confessed to God as he ought,
and be reconciled to such as he may haue offendid, and with whome he may be at strife and enmitie, he néedeth none other confession.
The proofe whereof thou hast spoken, doth it conteyne all that?
Thou maist iudge by that whiche thou hast heard, for the true repentaunce, and faith and charitie cannot be without true confession and reconciliation towardes God and our neyghboure.
