action_n and_o what_o a_o odd_a and_o absurd_a thing_n be_v it_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o other_o for_o what_o we_o do_v ourselves_o how_o ill_o do_v the_o word_n of_o reproof_n sound_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o wicked_a person_n to_o steal_v and_o yet_o forbid_v steal_v to_o swear_v ourselves_o and_o yet_o forbid_v swear_v to_o be_v covetous_a contentious_a and_o yet_o cry_v out_o against_o these_o sin_n in_o other_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o draw_v down_o judgement_n upon_o our_o self_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v discharge_v this_o our_o christian_a office_n and_o duty_n to_o our_o brother_n cast_v the_o mote_n out_o of_o his_o eye_n we_o shall_v first_o take_v care_n to_o cast_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o our_o own_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o course_n we_o shall_v take_v in_o promote_a a_o work_n of_o reformation_n and_o indeed_o we_o can_v expect_v to_o be_v very_o successful_a in_o any_o of_o our_o endeavour_n to_o reform_v other_o till_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v do_v thus_o much_o for_o ourselves_o i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o improvement_n and_o application_n of_o this_o point_n and_o that_o first_o by_o way_n of_o inference_n shall_v we_o reform_v ourselves_o before_o we_o begin_v to_o reform_v our_o brother_n then_o 1_o this_o may_v let_v all_o of_o we_o see_v wherein_o we_o have_v miss_v for_o how_o often_o have_v magistrate_n minister_n and_o private_a person_n go_v irregular_o about_o this_o work_n let_v the_o magistrate_n first_o reform_v himself_o and_o then_o he_o may_v better_o see_v how_o to_o execute_v justice_n upon_o offender_n let_v the_o minister_n first_o reform_v himself_o and_o then_o he_o may_v better_o see_v how_o to_o preach_v this_o up_o to_o other_o let_v a_o private_a christian_a first_o reform_v himself_o and_o then_o he_o will_v see_v better_o how_o to_o reform_v his_o brother_n let_v we_o cast_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o our_o own_o eye_n first_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o clear_o to_o cast_v the_o mote_n out_o of_o our_o brother_n eye_n how_o have_v we_o all_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o hysteron_fw-gr proteron_fw-gr of_o put_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o second_o place_n have_v we_o not_o begin_v at_o the_o wrong_a end_n of_o our_o work_n and_o invert_v the_o order_n of_o our_o duty_n true_a it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o reform_v our_o brother_n but_o the_o duty_n of_o self_n reformation_n shall_v take_v the_o first_o place_n they_o be_v both_o duty_n but_o in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n the_o one_o shall_v precede_v the_o other_o we_o shall_v first_o cast_v the_o beam_n out_o of_o our_o own_o eye_n before_o we_o cast_v the_o mote_n out_o of_o our_o brother_n eye_n and_o indeed_o i_o can_v but_o think_v one_o great_a cause_n and_o reason_n why_o magistrate_n have_v be_v no_o more_o a_o terror_n unto_o evil_a doer_n and_o minister_n no_o more_o successful_a in_o their_o work_n be_v because_o both_o have_v be_v too_o remiss_a in_o their_o reforme_a themselves_o they_o have_v not_o be_v those_o holy_a example_n unto_o other_o as_o their_o office_n and_o place_n require_v so_o that_o all_o our_o sermon_n against_o impiety_n and_o profaneness_n through_o our_o own_o personal_a miscarriage_n have_v be_v but_o like_o arrow_n shoot_v out_o of_o a_o weak_a bow_n that_o come_v not_o with_o force_n sufficient_a to_o prick_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o proud_a sinner_n minister_n may_v complain_v of_o the_o ill_a success_n of_o their_o labour_n when_o they_o take_v no_o care_n to_o practise_v what_o they_o preach_v to_o other_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o think_v to_o reform_v their_o people_n till_o such_o time_n as_o they_o first_o reform_v themselves_o shall_v we_o first_o reform_v ourselves_o before_o we_o reform_v our_o brother_n
