Instruction for every man to look warily to himself, that he §2be not circumvented by Satan, since such a treacherous foe, as sin is, doth lie continually in wait, as near him as may be; even in his own breast, to betray his soul into his hands. And seeing all have their faults, and are unable to stand before the judgement seat of God in their own righteousness, therefore none should be over rigorous in censuring of others, and passing too heavy a sentence of condemnation against their poor and weak brethren for their infirmities.

Verse 10. Divers Weights, and divers measures, even both these are abomination to the Lord.

Verse 10. Diuers Waights, and diuers measures, euen both these are abhomination to the Lord.

Divers Weights,] one heavier, another lighter, and divers measures, one greater, another less, to buy with the greater weight, and greater measure, and to sell by the less or lighter, or with a just weight and measure to sell to the wiser sort, and with the unjust to the simpler, whom they may easily deceive, both these, and all such kind of crafty and covetous dealing, are abomination to the Lord, such abominable iniquity as the Lord will surely and sharply revenge, and punish. See cap. 11. ver. 1.
