Q130. What if I cannot thus confess my sins?
Bewail the hardness of thy heart, keep close to the best preachers, remember that thou hangest over hell, by the weak thread of an uncertain life. And know, God counts it a great evil, not to be ashamed of, not to blush at sin.
Scripture Proofs — King James Version
