Patristic A.D. 378
“But it more frequently happens that he who has sinned much is purified by confession, but he who has sinned little, refuses from pride to come to be healed thereby. Hence it follows, But to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 7:36-50
