The sixth note is, they will be doing with motes: It may be asked, whether these fellows1 have no neighbours with beams in their eyes? Certainly they have: why then do they speak so to that brother, that hath the mo•e? This is an infallible note of an hypocrite: for as Chrysostom saith, It was rather to make a stop-game, or that he might seem very just: for which cause he spieth out the best to reprehend, that he may seem as good as he.2 For the way to make men even, is either to grow higher, or because he could not do that, he will pull the other lower: which indeed he cannot do. But hypocrites thinking their tongues are their own, will be bold to do it to them which are good.
