James5:9

Verſe 9. Grudge not, &c.] Groan not, Grumble not, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. grow not ſowr, and ſullen one to another.

Leſt ye be condemned] As Sarah had been, if the Lord had come, as ſhe deſired him, to judge bewixt her and her huſband. The moſt guilty are commonly moſt querulous and complaint-full.

The Judge ſtandeth before the door] If the Magiſtrate be preſent we may not offend another, to defend our ſelves. Ecce judex pro foribus: Therefore, Hold a blow, as wee ſay.
