That offences are from our selves: or the cause of stumbling and falling is from our selves: some lust or other, some right eye sin, or some right hand sin; if thy right offend thee, &c. sin unmortified will very much endanger a mans falling: truly if you would not have your right eye, or your right hand offend you, you must offend them: pluck it out and cast it from thee; cut it off and cast it from thee, if you would see clearly in Gods way, ye must pluck out your right eye, if you would walk evenly in Gods path, you must cut off your right foot.
