Secondly, Reas. 2 God does so order things in the dispensations of his grace, as that men may be made the most gracious. The sight of Gods grace, will make a man gracious: the more ye see the grace of God in Christ, the more gracious ye will be. And pray mark that instance which ye have in the 7. of Luke: (the same that I named before) consider it well, ⟨p. 230⟩at the 37. verse, Behold, a woman in the City which was a sinner (it seems she was a very wicked woman, a sinner) when she knew that Jesus Christ sate at meat in the Pharisees house, brought an Alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. What's the reason of this? Says our Saviour Christ, I say unto thee, (at the 47. verse) Her sins, which are many, are forgiven her, for she loved much. She wept much, because she loved much: and she loved much, because much was forgiven her.
