may_v do_v as_o we_o read_v of_o nathan_n to_o david_n 2_o sam._n 12.13_o so_o that_o her_o sin_n be_v pardon_v by_o god_n before_o at_o the_o first_o time_n of_o her_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o now_o christ_n as_o the_o mediator_n do_v particular_o absolve_v she_o and_o that_o in_o she_o own_o conscience_n therefore_o he_o bid_v she_o go_v in_o peace_n pardon_n the_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o that_o expression_n much_o be_v forgive_v she_o for_o she_o love_v much_o be_v causal_n as_o if_o her_o love_n be_v antecedent_n and_o a_o cause_n of_o her_o forgiveness_n or_o consequential_a only_a as_o a_o effect_n or_o sign_n of_o her_o forgiveness_n in_o this_o sense_n she_o love_v much_o because_o god_n do_v forgive_v she_o many_o sin_n not_o she_o love_v much_o and_o therefore_o god_n forgive_v she_o here_o be_v a_o great_a and_o vast_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o many_o papist_n be_v for_o the_o late_a the_o protestant_n general_o for_o the_o former_a and_o there_o be_v this_o cogent_a reason_n for_o it_o for_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o repentance_n or_o love_v which_o shall_v go_v before_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v plain_a by_o the_o parable_n he_o bring_v of_o a_o creditor_n who_o forgive_v one_o debtor_n more_o another_o debtor_n less_o hereupon_o our_o saviour_n ask_v the_o pharisee_fw-mi which_o of_o they_o will_v love_v he_o most_o simon_n answer_v i_o suppose_v he_o to_o who_o most_o be_v forgive_v now_o of_o such_o a_o love_n our_o saviour_n speak_v when_o he_o

her_o action_n of_o anoint_v and_o wash_v his_o foot_n by_o way_n of_o a_o sign_n or_o effect_n we_o gather_v her_o faith_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o her_o faith_n and_o love_n as_o by_o a_o sign_n and_o effect_n it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o her_o sin_n be_v forgive_v she_o but_o you_o may_v ask_v how_o can_v she_o come_v to_o know_v her_o sin_n be_v forgive_v before_o christ_n
