of_o that_o effect_n not_o one_o or_o two_o but_o many_o and_o many_o sin_n for_o charity_n shall_v cover_v the_o multitude_n of_o sin_n these_o word_n be_v parallel_v to_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o

for_o both_o these_o proposition_n be_v true_a charity_n be_v a_o benign_a virtue_n that_o pardon_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o that_o offend_v against_o we_o and_o again_o charity_n be_v so_o

of_o thy_o people_n thou_o have_v cover_v all_o their_o sin_n cover_v of_o sin_n import_v not_o the_o conceal_v they_o in_o relation_n to_o god_n sight_n or_o knowledge_n but_o in_o relation_n to_o his_o justice_n or_o punishment_n as_o man_n be_v say_v to_o forget_v injury_n not_o in_o a_o sense_n of_o memory_n but_o of_o mercy_n when_o they_o remember_v they_o not_o to_o revenge_v they_o as_o joseph_n forget_v his_o brethren_n sell_n he_o into_o egypt_n not_o as_o pharaoh_n butler_n forget_v joseph_n in_o prison_n but_o may_v not_o then_o the_o same_o question_n be_v ask_v here_o which_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n ask_v in_o the_o gospel_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n alone_o in_o what_o sense_n can_v charity_n be_v say_v to_o cover_v or_o pardon_v sin_n for_o cover_n or_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o justification_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n the_o peculiar_a prerogative_n of_o god_n and_o his_o free_a gift_n of_o grace_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o affirm_v that_o charity_n or_o any_o other_o virtue_n whatsoever_o can_v work_v this_o work_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n be_v to_o make_v it_o as_o saint_n t_o hilary_n speak_v ambitiosa_fw-la errorum_fw-la patrona_fw-la a_o ambitious_a or_o aspire_a patroness_n of_o error_n to_o make_v it_o affect_v the_o throne_n of_o god_n like_o lucifer_n to_o attribute_v to_o a_o imperfect_a humane_a

therefore_o that_o charity_n shall_v cover_v our_o sin_n it_o mean_v only_o that_o it_o
