Christ having raised up the attention of his hearers, by the forenamed Preface, in the next place he mollifieth the severity of Gods justice against the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, by declaring the riches of his mercy, in respect of all other sins, in these words, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they blaspheme. And whosoever speaketh against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him.
