Truth springs from the earth when the confession of a sinner is offered, and Justice looks down from heaven then there is forgiveness of sins. This was the outcome of the tax-collector's prayer: Truth sprang from the earth when he cast his eyes down and prayed to God with the confession of his sins, and justice looked down from heaven when the publican went away justified rather than the Pharisee. Cassiodorus, Commentary on Psalm 84 (our 85)
