22. Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
22. It is not the number of times, but his true repentance that is to be here regarded: Note, There are some sins that oft committing will prove that the Repentance is not true. He that should daily or weekly beat you, steal, murder, fornicate, and as oft say, I Repent, is not to be believed, but forfeiteth his credit. But he that is but oft angry, or defective in the degrees of sincere duty, may be believed if he oft profess repentance.
