Lorde Iesus doth in saying Iudge not to wete he represseth the fleshe and froward appetyte of checking tawntyng and backbyting yet is it not ment hereby y e the faythful should haue their eyes blynd filded to y ● end they should discerne nothing but they oughte to brydle themselues least they should be caryed away with to great a desyre to iudge For when any one coueteth to iudge his brethrē he cannot but be ouer rigorous Thus when Christ commaundeth that wee shoulde not Iudge he meaneth that we shoulde not curiously enquyre of the doynages of oure brethren But in the meane season he wil not haue vs to be without iudgement or discretion in suche sort as we should not bee able to put a dyfference beetwene the good and the euill or to saye what is iuste and ryghte and what is wrong but he woulde there shoulde be a wise moderation vsed and that to iudge well and ryghtly a man shoulde loke simplye to the dede and not to the person It behoueth vs to marke whye the Lorde Iesus spake thus He had to do with the Iewes which dyd interprete hys workes maliciouslie with a peruerse affection though they were forced to graunt that they wer diuine He setteth before their eyes circumcision to whiche they beare reuerence that of ryght When they dyd it on the Sabboth day they knewe wel that the lawe of God was not broken for asmuch as the workes of God agree very wel one with another What reason is there that they dyd not saye asmuch of the workes of Christ but that their spirites were occupied beefore with a folyshe iudgement which they had conceaued of hys person Wherefore there shall neuer be ryght iudgement geuen if it bee not pronounced accordyng to the truth of the dede for as sone as a mā setteth the persons before hys eyes he directeth also his senses to them so that forthwith the truth vanysheth 44 VVhē you pray speake not much Mathe. 6. Praye vvithout ceasing 1. Thess 8. 5. OVR Lorde Iesus reproueth a fault in Hipocrites which thynke they are able to persuade God by much bablyng and folyshe rehearsal of words And the continuing in prayer that is so muche praysed and commaunded in the holy scripture is not contrarie to thys doctryne For when the faythful man conceaueth a prayer and maketh it with a holy good affection his tong goeth not before hys hart Moreouer the fauoure of God is not gotten by an affected bablyng of words but rather a true faythful hart shoteth oute hys affections as flying shaftes which haue power to pearce euen vnto heauen Thys forbydding of bablyng and vayne repetyng of wordes in prayer doth not let the continuaunce of prayer not that God on hys behalfe hath any nede y ● a man should make hym any rehearsalls or that a man shoulde offer vnto hym any remembraunces or when a man hath spoken to hym on●e that he hath nede to be moued the second tyme but thys taryeng still or continuyng in prayer is of duety requisyte in vs. Euery mā ought to consider well hys necessities and howe he hath continually nede of the succour of God It is true that he could geue vs al necessarie thyngs before we should opē our mouth to pray to hym and surely if of hys goodnesse he preuented not oure prayers yea our desyres we should be more thā myserable but he wyll so exercyse our fayth and the end and vse of our prayers is that casting our playntes and grones into the fatherlye bosome of God we myght be wel assured that he would forsake vs in nothyng 45 Beare the burdens one of another Galat. 6. Euery one shall beare hys ovvne burden Galat. 6. THIS nature teacheth vs when we see any mā loden with a burden which he cannot beare or vnder which he falleth downe to vnlode him in some sort either els to ease him with the least hurt y ● may be If ther be any gentlenesse in vs we must chiefly shewe it to the bearyng the faultes of our brethrē which faultes ar properly called lodes or burdens But whē we are cōmaunded to beare y ● weaknesse one of another it is not ment y ● by ●auoryng or clokyng we should noryshe the euils or vices of oure brethrē and neyghboures but rather y ● we should vnlode them Now y ● must be done by softe and quiet correction There are many adulterers and whoremasters that woulde haue Christ to be bawde Many theues that would that he were their hider Many folkes of euil lyfe y ● woulde make hym defendour of theyr wicked dedes and y ● the faithful should serue them with their shoulders to discharge them of their own vncleānesse But we see wherfore we are appoynted to beare y ● burdens of our brethrē to wete to the end that in supportyng them we should endeuour to set them agayne in the ryght waye Nowe this that he addeth afterwarde serues for y ● interpretation of that that was sayd before Then we shalbe preste ready louyngly to vnburden others when euery man shal wel loke on hymself to see what maner of one he is And whē he shall haue diligently examined hys own worke not deceauyng hymself by thinkyng that he is any thyng or is worth oughte We haue nothyng of our own wherof we may bost but we are so voyde of al good that al our glory is but mere vanitie If we thynke diligently hereon we shall wax more gentle and meeke towardes others Whence cōmeth thys pryde that maketh vs exalt our selues aboue others whence commeth the proud and cruel sharpnesse but hereof that euery one will be set a lofte and loke vpon al the rest as beyng vnderneath at hys fete but yet bicause in comparyng our selues with other we make other by estimation to be of very smal value wee are sent backe to the tryeng of our selues to the end we should not measure oure selues by another mans yarde to y ● end that none of vs shoulde please hymself bicause others diplease him but turnyng his loke from other euery one ought to searche out hys owne conscience and to consider liuely hys own worke That is no true pray●e whiche we seke to attayne by the dysaduantage of another mannes good name but that which we get without makyng comparison of their base renowne with oure greatnesse and to take from vs all pryde the conclusion is that euery one shall beare his owne burdē Gods iudgement is hereby set before oure eyes before whom euery one muste geue accompte of hys lyfe and ther shalbe no comparison made but euery mā shal there carry his own burden for thys is that that deceaueth vs. He that hath but one eye or he that is pooreblynde beyng among the blynde thynketh that he seeth wel but one shall not acquyte another frō hys synne 46 Carry nothyng on the vvaye neyther staffe nor vvallet nor bread nor mony Luke 9. You shall carry nothyng on
