Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquities infinite? Eliphaz might have said as much of himself and his own sin; and it had been but a duty to have done so; we should not aggravate the sins of others, nor extenuate or lessen our own, we ⟨p. 48⟩should not set the sins of others in open light, nor provide coverings for our own, yet most commonly we run the contrary course: we have a favourable opinion, and excuses ready for what we have done, while we have hard thoughts of, and give harsh censures upon what others do; our own sins we can call moats, and the sins of others beams. The better any man is, the better he judges others, and the worse of himself; Paul spake no complement, while he said, that he was less then the least of all Saints, and the chief of sinners; usually they who are the severest observers and censurers of others, either flatter, or have not well observed themselves.
