In my Text is the first promulgation of her pardon; now because the words have some difficulty, and the later part is ⟨p. 266⟩brought to prove love to be a meritorious cause of Remission of sins;1 two Questions are briefly to be resolved: First, When this woman's sins were pardoned? And the Answer is, That as soon as ever she repented in her heart of her evil ways, and believed in Christ, her sins were forgiven her; for so God doth promise; and this was before she came to Christ, but she cometh to Christ for the more assurance of Pardon, and not only so, but that he should authoritatively absolve her from her sin; for Christ did more then declare her sins pardoned, as appeareth by the standers by, who with wonder made this question, v. 49. Who is this that forgiveth sins also? Whereas to declare the forgiveness of sin only, any Minister may do, as we read of Nathan to David, 2 Sam. 12.13.
