If the third member [nn.18, 21] be held to, namely that confession falls only under a precept of the Church, it cannot be rejected easily save either because the Church would not have accepted the imposition of so hard a precept on Christian men if it were not a divine precept; or because there is no place found where this precept is imposed by the Church without this being before the time the saints reckoned a precept about confession was obligatory.
