So those that have polluted their own souls and body with most filthy facts, and are the most uncleannest and wicked persons in a country, will soonest imagine and suspect an other to be most filthy and are ready to judge all men sore where their sores runs. An other cause of this is hypocrisy when one never examineth his own heart, then he is most ready to pry into an other mans life, and he that spares himself will lay load upon an other.
