vers. 2. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
vers. 2. For with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shall be iudged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you againe.
This verse contains a double confirmation of the former reason, drawn from the event. The first, in these words, For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: as if Christ had said; If ye judge men rashly, then men again, by the appointment of God in his wisdom and providence, shall accordingly give rash judgement upon you: but if ye judge men righteously, then men again, by Gods appointment and providence, shall judge well of you: for so I take the words to be meant of mens judgement by Gods appointment in his providence, and not of Gods judgement immediately.
