Too many take the ready course to deceive themselves; for they look
with both eyes on the failings and defects of others, and scarcely
give their good qualities half an eye, while on the contrary, in
themselves, they study to the full their own advantages, and their
weaknesses and defects, (as one says), they skip over, as children do
their hard words in their lesson, that are troublesome to read; and
making this uneven parallel, what wonder if the result be a gross
mistake of themselves!
