all_o censure_n of_o each_o other_o principle_n or_o action_n 3._o as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o condemn_v one_o another_o in_o matter_n doubtful_a so_o much_o less_o ought_v we_o to_o pass_v our_o judgement_n upon_o thing_n that_o be_v quite_o out_o of_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o knowledge_n the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n do_v not_o fall_v within_o our_o cognizance_n but_o only_o as_o they_o discover_v themselves_o by_o outward_a act_n which_o sometime_o may_v not_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o not_o proceed_v from_o such_o ill_a intention_n as_o we_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v in_o this_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o scrupulous_a how_o we_o judge_v other_o to_o be_v man_n of_o evil_a design_n who_o ill_a action_n will_v admit_v of_o a_o more_o favourable_a

heart_n of_o man_n into_o which_o none_o can_v see_v but_o god_n alone_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o condemn_v man_n of_o hypocrisy_n when_o their_o action_n do_v not_o declare_v it_o but_o refer_v that_o to_o the_o cognizance_n of_o our_o lord_n who_o as_o it_o follow_v after_o my_o text_n will_v bring_v to_o light_v the_o hide_a thing_n of_o darkness_n that_o be_v discover_v the_o

so_o great_a a_o sin_n that_o it_o can_v scarce_o be_v commit_v without_o the_o help_n of_o other_o sin_n which_o throw_v man_n into_o it_o such_o as_o secret_a hatred_n envy_n wrath_n revenge_n for_o former_a injury_n or_o offence_n but_o whencesoever_o it_o proceed_v it_o be_v a_o high_a piece_n of_o injustice_n which_o as_o we_o ought_v at_o all_o time_n careful_o to_o avoid_v so_o then_o especial_o when_o we_o undertake_v to_o be_v judge_n 2._o rush_v judgement_n be_v when_o we_o charge_v other_o with_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o know_v to_o be_v but_o rumour_n and_o suspicion_n or_o which_o we_o have_v only_o some_o slight_a reason_n to_o believe_v this_o forward_a haste_n to_o be_v pass_v our_o judgement_n upon_o man_n though_o we_o be_v well_o inform_v be_v to_o be_v correct_v especial_o when_o we_o declare_v it_o upon_o all_o occasion_n or_o perhaps_o without_o any_o occasion_n but_o to_o do_v this_o before_o we_o be_v well_o inform_v or_o have_v due_o consider_v be_v very_o vicious_a and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o bad_a disposition_n of_o mind_n which_o lead_v we_o to_o judge_v the_o action_n of_o other_o to_o proceed_v from_o worse_a principle_n and_o end_n than_o real_o they_o do_v thus_o man_n be_v sometime_o rash_o accuse_v of_o covetousness_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o such_o action_n as_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o caution_n not_o to_o bestow_v their_o

call_v that_o wilfulness_n which_o perhaps_o be_v only_a weakness_n and_o to_o condemn_v that_o as_o wickedness_n which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o ignorance_n or_o imprudence_n and_o thus_o whole_a sect_n and_o party_n condemn_v one_o another_o in_o the_o lump_n before_o they_o know_v their_o circumstance_n particular_o what_o advantage_n they_o have_v have_v or_o want_v of_o right_a information_n in_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o very_o evident_a we_o ought_v to_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n or_o rather_o err_v on_o the_o other_o side_n by_o judge_v well_o of_o other_o which_o be_v the_o virtue_n we_o call_v candour_n which_o argue_v much_o wisdom_n and_o no_o less_o charity_n at_o least_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a nature_n 3._o the_o last_o thing_n of_o this_o

dislike_n to_o the_o sin_n which_o they_o condemn_v nor_o with_o any_o design_n to_o do_v good_a either_o to_o the_o guilty_a person_n or_o any_o other_o but_o mere_o to_o gratify_v their_o own_o spleen_n or_o arrogance_n or_o such_o like_a bad_a affection_n to_o which_o our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o have_v have_v some_o respect_n when_o he_o say_v matth._n vii_o 1._o judge_v not_o that_o you_o

and_o he_o call_v this_o in_o effect_n a_o hypocritical_a judgement_n when_o he_o add_v thou_o hypocrite_n first_o cast_v out_o the_o beam_n out_o of_o thy_o own_o eye_n and_o then_o shall_v thou_o see_v clear_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o mote_n out_o of_o thy_o brother_n eye_n if_o it_o be_v hypocrisy_n to_o find_v out_o small_a fault_n in_o other_o soon_o than_o great_a in_o one_o self_n it_o be_v much_o more_o so_o to_o discover_v any_o fault_n whatsoever_o mere_o to_o please_v some_o bad_a affection_n which_o delight_n in_o speak_v evil_a of_o other_o these_o be_v dangerous_a kind_n of_o
