The second point is to Examine our selves; Paul saith, Try all ¹things, much more should we try our selves. The good sower doth sow his own ground, but the bad sower doth sow another mans ground, as the devil did. The Disciples of Christ said, ²Master, Is it I? not, Master, is it he? The Disciples of John asked, Master, what shall we do? not, Master, what shall they do? We must obey some, and hear others, and admonish others, and love all; but examine our selves. That which we apply unto others, the Apostle applieth unto our selves: for when we speak of an examiner, we intend one which examineth other; when we speak of an accuser, we intend one which accuseth other; when we speak of a Judge, we mean one that judgeth others: but the Scripture crieth, Examine ³thy self, accuse thy self, judg thy self; that is, be not curious to search a mete in thy brothers eye, but pull out a beam which is in ⁴thine own eye. This doth show that they which sit in Gods chair to judg others, commonly have greater fault themselves, than they whom they use to judge: and therefore Christ calleth their fault a beam, and the others a moat. This made David ⁵say, Examine thy heart: thy heart is thine own heart, therefore thou must examine whether thou pray, whether thou watch, whether thou fast; and not whether he pray, whether he watch, whether he fast, as the Pharisee examined the Publican, least thou have Peters check, when he examined what John should do, Christ said, What is that to thee; follow thou me. Thou art ⁶a private man and hast a private examination, therefore let thy question be, What have I done? and make thy Anatomy of thy ⁷self.
