Mens own Counsels bring shame to them, 1especially in Religion. For men naturally are very blind in the things of God, they do not see far in them; mens hearts are full of corruption, they are biassed by their corruptions; seeing there's much self-love in men.

If there be any appearance that is mens own,1 that's much regarded, a great deal more than truth that is another mans; if it be their own they mind that, but let another man speak that which hath truth, that's little regarded. There is in mens hearts much violence to maintain their own Counsels, and therefore very like that their Counsels will bring them to shame. There's nothing that men can bear to be contradicted in, less than in their Counsels. And the more men are set upon their own Counsels the more it is like to bring shame in the conclusion.
