Excerpt from The History of Confession, or the Dogma of Confession Vindicated From the Attacks of Heretics and Infidels
To the objections of the young lawyer, Father Guil lois replied in a series of letters, which originally were not intended for publication.
He begins by demonstrating that confession was always in use, especially among the Jews; that it was in use also amongst the pagans; that it was instituted by Our Saviour; that it has always been practised in the Church, both in the West, and amongst the schismaticsof the East. He demonstrates from reason that it was impossible for men to establish confession, and, finally, shows the utility of this divine institution and refutes the objections advanced against it.
