1. 1Luk. 22. 30.

Now adays men take upon them to reprove others for committing such things as themselves have practised, and do practise without amendment, notwithstanding their diligence in teaching others their duty; they can teach all the doctrine of Christ saving three syllables, that is, Fellow me. Therefore these are like some Tailors which are very busy in decking and tricking up of others, but go both bare and beggarly themselves. Yet they will not let us pluck out the more that is in their eyes, until we have plucked out the beam which is in our own eyes.
