Classic Poem

Concerning judging of others.

Sit thou not on, the Judgment seat
itt dont belong to thee
god, thy cencure soon defeat
When all, shall judged be

Condemne not, least thou be condemn'd
god only, knows the hart
Take heed thou dost not discommend
thosse that, in Christ have part.

Ther cause he'l surely vindicate
acquited they shall be
And then, for thee, t will be to late
thy folly for to see.

Goe not forth out, of thine own dore
ther work enough at home
On others faults, thou needst not pore
till thou, hast none, of thine own.

Tis said speak evill of no man
then what hast thou to doe
Any, mans actions for to scan
or to denounce, a woe.

Though hee be wicked in thine eye
thou knowst not gods decree
He may, from all eternity
elect, to glory bee

If he be truly, gracious
though full, of great weaknese
Know that to god, conspicuous
is the, least dram, of grace

And god doth deerly, love his own
theyr pleasing, in his eye
If thou deface, & clip, his coin
he will not pase it by

Let god but leave thee to thy self
with the worst, thou mayst vie
Take heed, therfore, & doe not delve
in others faults to spy

Oh let me always tender be
of cencuring, another
Least if he be, belov'd of thee
I should be found, to murther
