1, 2. Make not your selves judges of other men and their actions without a just call, and be not censorious meddlers, nor hold severe condemners of others without proof, and beyond cause. For otherwise you must look for severe judgement from God, and to be repaid by man, and used as you used others.

How canst thou think his mote of ceremonial or small difference intolerable, while thou easily bearest thy own formality, magisterial pride and worldly mind, and other great and deadly sins?
