Matthew18:22

Verse 22. Vntill seventy times seven] i. e. [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word] quotiès. God multiplieth pardons, Isa. 55 7. so should we. Love covereth all sinnes, Prov. 10. 12. so large is the skirt of loves mantle. Betwixt God and us the distance is infinite, and, if it were possible, our love to him, and to our friends in him, our foes for him, should fill up that [illegible: 1 word], and [illegible: 1 word] it self to [illegible: 1 word]. We may without [illegible: 1 word] be sensible of injuries (a sheep is as sensible of a bite, as a swine) but it must be with the silence of a sheep, or at utmost the mourning of a dove, not the roaring of a bear, or bellowing of a bull, when baited. All desire of revenge must be carefully cast out: and if the wrong-doer say I repent, you must say, I remit, and that from the [illegible: 1 word]: being herein like that King of England, of whom it is said that he never forgat any thing [non-Latin text not transcribed]. but injuries. Every Christian should keep a continuall Jubilee,1 Cor. [illegible: 1 word] 8. [illegible: 2 words], & noxas remittendo, by loosing bonds, and remitting wrongs.
