The Apostle S. James speaks very bitterly to those that he wrote unto, for having respect unto persons, says he, Are ye not then partial in your selves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? as if he should say, 1Do not your consciences condemn you? Can this stand with grace? to have the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ in respect of persons; Are you become judges of evil thoughts? those evil thoughts of yours, in respecting those that are in brave apparel; Are you ⟨p. 219⟩judges of those evil thoughts? that is, to judge according to them: Some render it thus; and are not judges of evil thoughts? And so the negative, that is joined to partial, is to be applied also, to become judges of evil thoughts: Have you such evil thoughts as these, and do you not judge them to be evil? Noting there is so much evil in them, as it is to be wondered, that any should have such evil thoughts, and yet not judge them to be naught.
