1_o the_o first_o defect_n in_o confession_n of_o sin_n unto_o god_n be_v this_o that_o when_o man_n come_v to_o confess_v sin_n to_o god_n they_o have_v such_o a_o barrenness_n and_o confusion_n on_o their_o spirit_n that_o they_o can_v call_v to_o remembrance_n their_o particular_a sin_n to_o confess_v they_o hildersham_n have_v a_o good_a note_n descant_v on_o they_o word_n in_o 1_o joh._n 1.8_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o say_v he_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o gross_a to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v no_o sin_n for_o his_o own_o practice_n will_v belie_v his_o tongue_n but_o it_o be_v when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n we_o do_v as_o in_o effect_n say_v so_o when_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o sin_n to_o confess_v to_o god_n we_o be_v so_o confuse_v and_o heedless_a in_o observe_v our_o own_o way_n that_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o confess_v in_o prayer_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n condemn_v this_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o bellarmine_n when_o his_o confessor_n come_v unto_o he_o bellarmine_n do_v protest_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o do_v not_o know_v one_o sin_n that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o to_o confess_v unto_o the_o priest_n this_o be_v heedlessness_n in_o he_o for_o if_o he_o have_v observe_v his_o own_o way_n he_o will_v have_v find_v sin_n enough_o to_o have_v confess_v many_o be_v heedless_a that_o they_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o own_o evil_n belove_a this_o be_v a_o common_a and_o a_o ordinary_a defect_n there_o be_v many_o when_o they_o come_v to_o prayer_n though_o they_o have_v manifold_a sin_n in_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v so_o confuse_v so_o indistinct_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o own_o way_n that_o they_o have_v only_o general_a confession_n lord_n we_o have_v sin_v lord_n we_o have_v do_v evil_a in_o thy_o sight_n but_o can_v call_v to_o mind_v any_o particular_a sin_n they_o have_v do_v be_v it_o never_o thus_o with_o you_o that_o you_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o bewail_v to_o god_n and_o what_o to_o lament_v of_o in_o his_o presence_n this_o be_v a_o defect_n that_o godly_a man_n be_v often_o plunge_v into_o defect_n 2_o a_o second_o defect_n in_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n to_o god_n be_v this_o when_o man_n in_o prayer_n do_v confess_v many_o sin_n to_o god_n yet_o do_v leave_v out_o their_o master_n and_o predominant_a sin_n many_o man_n be_v large_a in_o confession_n yet_o do_v leave_v out_o their_o master_n sin_n moses_n though_o a_o good_a man_n yet_o be_v faulty_a in_o this_o regard_n god_n command_v he_o to_o go_v to_o egypt_n to_o deliver_v his_o people_n but_o say_v moses_n i_o be_o not_o eloquent_a i_o be_o of_o a_o slow_a speech_n he_o do_v complain_v of_o a_o natural_a defect_n but_o he_o do_v not_o complain_v of_o a_o spiritual_a defect_n but_o god_n do_v answer_v all_o his_o plea_n in_o exod._n 4.19_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n in_o midian_a go_v return_v into_o egypt_n for_o all_o the_o man_n be_v dead_a which_o seek_v thy_o life_n verse_n 20._o and_o moses_n take_v his_o wife_n and_o his_o son_n and_o set_v they_o upon_o a_o ass_n and_o he_o return_v to_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n so_o that_o here_o god_n put_v his_o finger_n upon_o the_o sore_a moses_n complain_v of_o the_o people_n incredulity_n of_o his_o own_o natural_a infirmity_n but_o moses_n do_v not_o complain_v of_o his_o slavish_a fear_n that_o if_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o egypt_n there_o be_v man_n that_o will_v kill_v he_o till_o god_n do_v assure_v moses_n that_o those_o man_n that_o seek_v to_o kill_v he_o be_v dead_a moses_n will_v not_o go_v here_o a_o good_a man_n will_v not_o confess_v his_o slavish_a fear_n that_o he_o do_v fear_v death_n therefore_o he_o will_v not_o go_v on_o god_n command_n belove_a this_o be_v a_o defect_n that_o do_v many_o time_n cleave_v to_o godly_a man_n to_o leave_v out_o their_o predominant_a sin_n and_o to_o confess_v sin_n but_o of_o a_o ordinary_a incussion_n defect_n 3_o a_o three_o defect_n in_o confession_n of_o sin_n to_o god_n be_v this_o to_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o hanker_v after_o the_o commit_n of_o those_o sin_n you_o do_v confess_v austin_n do_v ingenuous_o acknowledge_v this_o of_o himself_o say_v he_o i_o do_v often_o beg_v strength_n of_o

conviction_n of_o conscience_n do_v force_n to_o a_o confession_n of_o sin_n yet_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o deprave_a affection_n do_v make_v thou_o hanker_v after_o the_o sin_n and_o cause_v a_o loathness_n to_o leave_v it_o defect_n 4_o a_o four_o defect_n in_o confession_n of_o sin_n to_o god_n be_v this_o to_o confess_v to_o god_n the_o sin_n of_o your_o life_n but_o not_o the_o sin_n of_o your_o nature_n many_o man_n will_v be_v large_a in_o confess_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o life_n but_o seldom_o or_o never_o bewail_v the_o sin_n of_o nature_n that_o vicious_a inclination_n in_o the_o

many_o time_n be_v guilty_a of_o defect_n 5_o a_o five_o defect_n be_v this_o to_o confess_v gross_a and_o open_a sin_n but_o not_o to_o confess_v small_a and_o secret_a evil_n we_o be_v command_v

the_o eight_o defect_n in_o confession_n of_o sin_n unto_o god_n be_v this_o not_o to_o have_v the_o

heart_n sensible_o affect_v with_o those_o sin_n that_o be_v confess_v to_o god_n many_o confess_v as_o if_o they_o be_v tell_v story_n rather_o what_o other_o man_n do_v than_o what_o themselves_o
