and that He is patient and long suffereth those who have sinned, as His creatures,
65
and that He is bountiful, for He is ready to give where it needeth;
66
and that He is of great mercy, for He multiplieth more and more mercies to those who are present and who are past, and also to those who are to come.
67
For if He shall not multiply His mercies, the world would not continue with those who inherit therein.
68
And He pardoneth; for if He did not so of His goodness, that those who have committed iniquities might be eased of them, a ten-thousandth part of men should not remain living.
69
And being judge, if He should not forgive those who are cured with His word and put out the multitude of contentions,
70
there should be very few left, perhaps, of an innumerable multitude."
