Judgement is a choice thing, and must be made upon choice; it is not to be snatched up hastily, but duly chosen. They that are upon the choice either of things or persons, should be much in Consideration. How uncomely (besides unrighteous) is it, to judge men or matters rashly, to be hurried on to election with passion, or to judge upon hear-says and Conjectures? This is not to choose Judgement, but to snatch it up; to choose Judgement is to do it with mature deliberation; there must be much weighing, else properly no judging; rash judgement is usually wrong judgement; and that layeth us open to another judgement, Judge not that ye be not judged, is Christs warning (Math: 7.1.) that is, do not judge hastily, or harshly, do not judge rashly nor rigidly, much less falsely, for if you do you shall be judged righteously (indeed) as to your case, but not comfortably as to your condition. They who will not choose Judgement, do, in the issue, choose Judgement, that is, not using deliberation in Judgement, they draw deservedly upon themselves a judgement of condemnation.
Judgement is a choice thing, and must be made upon choyce; it is not to be snatched up hastily, but duely chosen. They that are upon the choyce either of things or persons, should be much in Consideration. How uncomely (besides unrighteous) is it, to judge men or matters rashly, to be hurried on to election with passion, or to judge upon heare-sayes and Conjectures? This is not to chuse Judgement, but to snatch it up; to chuse Judgement is to doe it with mature deliberation; there must be much weighing, else properly no judging; rash judgement is usually wrong judgement; and that layeth us open to another judgement, Judge not that ye be not judged, is Christs warning (Math: 7.1.) that is, doe not judge hastily, or harshly, doe not judge rashly nor rigidly, much lesse falsely, for if you do you shall be judged righteou••y (indeed) as to your case, but not comfortably as to your condition. They who will not chuse Judgement, doe, in the issue, chuse Judgement, that is, not using deliberation in Judgement, they draw deservedly upon themselves a judgement of condemnation.
Secondly, Taking it more generally, Let us choose to our selves Judgement, or that which is right.
