116. “Be good to me.” “Why dost thou ask what thou hast denied [to Me]? I would have had thee to be good, and I said ‘Be ye holy, for I Myself am holy,’ Lev. xix. 2. and thou settest thyself to deny that I am good? Dost thou then look for forgiveness of sins? Nay, none can forgive sins, but God alone. S. Mark. ii. 7. Seeing, then, that to thee I am not the true and only God, I cannot by any means forgive thee thy sins.”
