Thou (sayeth he to the Jew) teachest / a man should not break wedlock / & yet breakest wedlock thy self. Wherein thou judgest an other man / therein condemnest thou thy self / for thou thy self doest even the very same things which thou judgest. As though he would say / thou livest outwardly well in the works of the law / and judgest them that live not so. Thou teachest other men: and seest a moot in an other mans eye / but art not ware of the beam that is in thine own eye. For though thou keep the law outwardly with works for fear of rebuke / shame and punishment / other for love of reward / vantage and▪ vain glory / yet doest thou all with out lust and love toward the law / and haddest lever a great deal other wise do / if thou diddest not fear the law▪ yea inwardly in thine heart / thou wouldest that there were no law / no nor yet God / the author and avenger of the law / if it were possible: so painful it is unto the to have thine appetites refrained / and to be kept down.
Thou (sayeth he to the Iewe) teachest / a man shulde not breake wedlocke / & yet breakest wedlocke thy selfe. Wherin thou iudgest an other man / therin condemnest thou thy selfe / for thou thy selfe doest euen the very same thinges whiche thou iudgest. As though he wolde saye / thou lyuest outewardly well in the workes of the lawe / and indgest them that lyue not so. Thou teachest other men: and seest a moote in an other mans eye / but art not ware of the beame that is in thyn awne eye. For though thou kepe the lawe outewardly with workes for feare of rebuke / shame and punysshement / other for loue of rewarde / vauntage and▪ vayne glory / yet doest thou all with out lust and loue towarde the lawe / and haddest leuer a greate deale other wyse do / yf thou dydest not feare the lawe▪ ye inwardly in thyne herte / thou woldest that ther were no lawe / no nor yet God / the auctor and vengear of the lawe / yf it were possible: so paynefull it is vnto the to have thyne appetytes refrayned / and to be kepte doune.
