If censuring, and judging, and find∣ing fault with others would make true Saints, we should have enough of them now-a-days; the World is full of such Persons like the Lamiae, those Witches that (as it is reported of them) carryed their eyes with them on their fore-heads, when they went abroad to spye faults in others, but put them into boxes when they came at home, that they might see none in themselves. Mr. Greenham calls them the Devils Regi∣sters, that look after other mens sins. A wicked man may hate the same sin in another, that he loves in himself; witness Jehu that hated Ahabs Idolatry, but yet was an Idolater himself; 2
