SERMON 158

Good behaviour with people and
ignoring their faults:

I lived as a good
neighbour to you and tried my best to look after you, and I freed
you from the snare of humbleness and the fetters of oppression
through my gratefulness for the little good (from your side) and
closed my eyes to your many misdeeds which my eyes had observed
and my body had witnessed.
