We many times condemn others, and therein pass sentence against our selves; thus Judah said of Tamar, bring her forth, and let her be burnt, not considering that he spake the word against his own soul: thus David to Nathan, the man that hath done this thing shall dye; not considering that he was the man. Lord wherein I have sinned, help me to pull out mine own beam, before I judge another for his moat; and wherein others have sinned, help me so to judge their frailties, as considering my self least I also should be tempted, and then I should as much need their pity, as they now need mine.

Ah Lord, how much have we to do with our selves, poor wayward, peevish, froward we are, not well either full or fasting: either its too hot, or too cold, too wet, or too dry, we would, & then we would not. We are discontented if we have not, and not contented with what we have; if we have health, we would have wealth; if wealth, we would exchange it for health; when in company, we have a mind to be alone; when alone, we would we were in company; Romae Tybur ammo, ventosus Tyburn Romam.
