<p>Note, 1. We are all apt to be partial in judging of ourselves: <i>All the ways of a man</i>, all his designs, all his doings, <i>are clean in his own eyes</i>, and he sees nothing amiss in them, nothing for which to condemn himself, or which should make his projects prove otherwise than well; and therefore he is confident of success, and that the answer of the tongue shall be according to the expectations of the heart; but there is a great deal of pollution cleaving to our ways, which we are not aware of, or do not think so ill of as we ought. 2. The judgment of God concerning us, we are sure, is according to truth: He <i>weighs the spirits</i> in a just and unerring balance, knows what is in us, and passes a judgment upon us accordingly, writing <i>Tekel</i> upon that which passed our scale with approbation—<i>weighed in the balance and found wanting</i>; and by his judgment we must stand or fall. He not only sees mens ways but tries their spirits, and we are as our spirits are.</p>
