pastor as of God himself, in no wise doubting, but firmly believing that
our sins are thus forgiven before God in heaven.

_What sins ought we to confess?_

_Ans._ In the presence of God we should acknowledge ourselves guilty of
all manner of sins, even of those which we do not ourselves perceive; as
we do in the Lord's Prayer. But in the presence of the pastor we should
confess those sins alone of which we have knowledge, and which we feel
in our hearts.

_Which are these?_

_Ans._ Here reflect on your condition, according to the Ten
Commandments, namely: Whether you are a father or mother, a son or
daughter, a master or mistress, a manservant or maidservant--whether you
have been disobedient, unfaithful, slothful--whether you have injured
any one by words or actions-whether you have stolen, neglected, or
wasted aught, or done other evil.
