Chapter I.

I have found that some people may be offended because David committed adultery, and Christ forgave the adulteress who was presented to him; especially because the same prophet revealed his own sin. But, it is shown that while David erred, it is impossible for Christ to err; therefore, those who detract from the power or providence of God should be rejected.
