Excerpt from The Ministry of Absolution: An Appeal for Its More General Use With Due Regard to the Liberty of the Individual

The practice of confession Spread from conscience to conscience, before there was any oral teaching as to the remedy. Living men whose minds were stirred taught the nature of the disease: the Prayer book which the Church of England put into the hands of all her children in their own language taught the remedy. Without any other living teaching, men (for the enlarged use of confession began With men), men whose consciences were awakened learned to lay down the burden of their sins at our dear Lord's feet: and He by virtue of His words, Whose soever sins ye remit, they are re mitted unto them,' said to their inmost souls, Thy sins be forgiven thee; go in peace.' In those stirring times, people saw the change wrought in the outward life of their acquaintance, and asked, 'what has changed you so?' The answer, 'i have been to confession,' suggested the thought, 'then it might be good for me too.'
