“Of a truth, hasty judgments are most displeasing to God, and men’s judgments are hasty, because we are not judges one another, and by judging we usurp our Lord’s own office. Man’s judgment is hasty, because the chief malice of sin lies in the intention and counsel of the heart, which is shrouded in darkness to us.”
