We had need to hear and give ear, or to hear diligently, before we judge either of things or persons.
We had need to heare and give eare, or to heare diligently, before we judge either of things or persons.
Though we may judge rightly of that we have not heard, or of that which we have heard slightly, yet we are not right Judges of any matter till we have heard it. 'Tis possible to hit upon a right judgement blind-fold; but Judges must not be blind, nor judge blind-fold. To judge right, not knowing it to be so, shall have no better reward then a wrong judgement. Yea they that are called to judge, must both hear and give ear, else they may quickly give wrong judgement.
