           examin
           two
           things
           before
           they
           censure
           :
           first
           whether
           the
           parties
           censured
           have
           done
           good
           or
           ill

           secondly
           whether
           they
           themselves
           could
           have
           done
           better

           But
           they

           considerations

           good
           names
