--Pope.

Syn: Admit; grant; concede; avow; own; assent; recognize;
prove; exhibit; attest.

Usage: {To Confess}, {Acknowledge}, {Avow}. Acknowledge is
opposed to conceal. We acknowledge what we feel must
or ought to be made known. (See {Acknowledge}.) Avow
is opposed to withhold. We avow when we make an open
and public declaration, as against obloquy or
opposition; as, to avow one's principles; to avow
one's participation in some act. Confess is opposed to
deny. We confess (in the ordinary sense of the word)
what we feel to have been wrong; as, to confess one's
errors or faults. We sometimes use confess and
acknowledge when there is no admission of our being in
the wrong; as, this, I confess, is my opinion; I
acknowledge I have always thought so; but in these
cases we mean simply to imply that others may perhaps
think us in the wrong, and hence we use the words by
way of deference to their opinions. It was in this way
that the early Christians were led to use the Latin
confiteor and confessio fidei to denote the public
declaration of their faith in Christianity; and hence
the corresponding use in English of the verb confess
and the noun confession.
[1913 Webster]


Confess \Con*fess"\, v. i.
1. To make confession; to disclose sins or faults, or the
state of the conscience.
[1913 Webster]

Every tongue shall confess to God. --Rom. xiv.
11.

2. To acknowledge; to admit; to concede.
[1913 Webster]

But since
(And I confess with right) you think me bound.
--Tennyson.
[1913 Webster]
