7shall confess their sin. General confession (such as Protestants make) sufficed not here for purging sins: but whosoever transgressed any of God's commandments, were bound by this divine positive law, to confess expressly and distinctly their sin, which in particular they had committed. Also to make restitution, if wrong were done to any other, with a fifth part above the principal. And for further satisfaction to God they must offer sacrifice. All which doth plainly prefigure and foreshew the necessity of particular confession of sins, and satisfaction, in the Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ. John 20. >
