Abstract
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing Matthew 7:5 and the idea that those who cast judgment on others should not do so until they are without sin themselves. He explains that it is hypocritical to censure others while one is guilty of the same or other sins, and stresses the importance of self-examination to determine whether or not one can rightly cast judgment upon another. Hitchcock posits that the numerous judgments of the world are the result of men not performing self-examination and being blind to their own failings, that Christians may not call out sinners because they see that they are guilty as well, and emphasizes the importance of living a holy life. Hitchcock has noted the date and location where he delivered this sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page.
