throw_v out_o their_o censure_n at_o random_n and_o speak_v evil_a ex_fw-la tempore_fw-la without_o consider_v of_o who_o they_o talk_v or_o what_o or_o why_o men_n that_o be_v for_o run_v down_o every_o one_o that_o come_v in_o their_o way_n and_o be_v for_o pass_a sentence_n immediate_o without_o any_o trial_n or_o examination_n nay_o without_o so_o much_o as_o the_o formality_n of_o ask_v guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a this_o be_v certain_o a_o very_a preposterous_a headlong_a method_n against_o all_o sense_n and_o good_a breed_n as_o well_o as_o charity_n it_o be_v like_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v all_o for_o crucify_a the_o lord_n of_o life_n before_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o gross_a piece_n of_o injustice_n as_o sufficient_o condemn_v itself_o all_o therefore_o that_o i_o shall_v further_o say_v to_o the_o man_n of_o this_o practice_n be_v that_o he_o who_o make_v haste_n to_o censure_n can_v no_o more_o be_v innocent_a than_o he_o that_o make_v haste_n to_o be_v rich_a and_o that_o if_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v before_o we_o venture_v to_o commend_v as_o wise_a man_n say_v we_o ought_v then_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o before_o we_o condemn_v second_o when_o though_o we_o do_v consider_v and_o make_v some_o enquiry_n into_o the_o cause_n and_o withal_o find_v some_o ground_n and_o foundation_n for_o a_o ill_a judgement_n yet_o we_o conclude_v beyond_o the_o force_n of_o the_o premise_n and_o give_v a_o peremptory_a sentence_n where_o there_o be_v ground_n for_o no_o high_a a_o assent_n than_o opinion_n or_o suspicion_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n that_o we_o be_v not_o determine_v by_o the_o moment_n of_o truth_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n and_o argument_n but_o by_o some_o other_o by-consideration_n and_o partial_a inducement_n for_o be_v our_o judgement_n guide_v and_o determine_v by_o the_o sole_a appearance_n of_o truth_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o our_o assent_n shall_v be_v strong_a than_o the_o evidence_n that_o cause_v it_o for_o the_o understanding_n of_o itself_o can_v be_v determine_v no_o far_o than_o as_o the_o object_n appear_v to_o be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a if_o it_o be_v all_o that_o overplus_n of_o judgement_n that_o exceed_v the_o degree_n of_o evidence_n must_v be_v produce_v by_o some_o other_o cause_n the_o evidence_n alone_o can_v cause_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v proportionable_a to_o it_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o mixture_n in_o all_o such_o judgement_n and_o the_o will_n have_v a_o part_n in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o understanding_n he_o therefore_o that_o conclude_v worse_a of_o another_o than_o in_o appearance_n he_o have_v reason_n to_o do_v must_v be_v suppose_v in_o some_o measure_n willing_a to_o do_v so_o that_o be_v in_o other_o word_n to_o be_v under_o some_o malice_n or_o prejudice-against_a he_o and_o he_o that_o judge_n upon_o such_o principle_n can_v never_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n three_o this_o we_o do_v when_o we_o conceive_v a_o ill_a apprehension_n of_o a_o person_n from_o one_o or_o two_o single_a instance_n of_o his_o life_n without_o consider_v the_o general_a tenor_n of_o his_o conversation_n this_o be_v a_o very_a unjust_a way_n of_o proceed_v and_o contrary_a to_o all_o human_a and_o divine_a measure_n the_o main_a current_n of_o a_o man_n life_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v and_o if_o this_o maintain_v a_o regular_a course_n it_o be_v not_o here_o and_o there_o a_o little_a straggle_a rivulet_n that_o shall_v spoil_v the_o character_n for_o if_o the_o denomination_n ought_v always_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o major_a part_n certain_o much_o more_o so_o when_o it_o lie_v on_o the_o most_o favourable_a side_n to_o balance_v therefore_o one_o single_a wander_a star_n against_o a_o whole_a constellation_n of_o regular_a action_n be_v a_o very_a ill_a sort_n of_o unrighteous_a judgement_n and_o such_o as_o the_o best_a of_o man_n can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v who_o must_v needs_o all_o be_v cast_v in_o such_o a_o court_n as_o this_o such_o a_o way_n of_o judge_v therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v especial_o consider_v that_o the_o supreme_a judge_n of_o all_o do_v not_o judge_v we_o at_o this_o rate_n but_o often_o proceed_v by_o a_o contrary_a measure_n and_o suffer_v one_o single_a virtue_n to_o cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n four_o and_o last_o to_o give_v one_o general_a measure_n for_o all_o this_o we_o do_v whenever_o our_o ill_a opinion_n of_o a_o man_n be_v build_v upon_o such_o poor_a and_o slight_a appearance_n as_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o gain_v our_o assent_n in_o any_o other_o indifferent_a matter_n wherein_o we_o be_v altogether_o disinteressed_n which_o way_n the_o scale_n turn_v or_o prevail_v with_o we_o to_o think_v the_o same_o concern_v another_o person_n this_o be_v a_o sure_a sign_n that_o prejudice_n hold_v the_o balance_n it_o be_v hold_v so_o uneven_a and_o that_o we_o judge_v what_o we_o will_v willing_o have_v and_o this_o be_v more_o particular_o that_o judge_a according_a to_o appearance_n which_o our_o lord_n here_o condemn_v for_o thus_o stand_v the_o case_n our_o saviour_n have_v perform_v a_o cure_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n among_o those_o who_o be_v superstitious_a observer_n of_o it_o now_o this_o carry_v some_o appearance_n of_o
