19.  What then R.C. “If then there is present among you any from among the Heathen who has ever spoken evil against Christians, or in times of persecution plotted against the Holy Churches, let him take Nabuchodonsor as an example of salvation:  let him confess in like manner, that he may also find the like forgiveness.  If any has been defiled by lust and passions, let him take up the repentance of the blessed David:  if any has denied like Peter, let him die like him for the sake of the Lord Jesus.  For He who to his tears begrudged not the Apostleship, will not refuse thee the gospel mysteries.  And for women let Rahab be a pattern unto salvation, and for men the manifold examples mentioned of the men of old times.?  When Nabuchodonosor, after having done such deeds, had made confession, did God give him pardon and the kingdom, and when thou repentest shall He not give thee the remission of sins, and the kingdom of heaven, if thou live a worthy life?  The Lord is loving unto man, and swift to pardon, but slow to punish.  Let no man therefore despair of his own salvation.  Peter, the chiefest and foremost of the Apostles, denied the Lord thrice before a little maid:  but he repented himself, and wept bitterly.  Now weeping shews the repentance of the heart:  and therefore he not only received forgiveness for his denial, but also held his Apostolic dignity unforfeited.
