Matthew 7:6 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Here is another instance of that transposition, where of the two things proposed, the latter is first treated of. Give not — to dogs — lest turning they rend you: Cast not — to swine — lest they trample them under foot. Yet even then, when the beam is cast out of thine own eye, Give not — That is, talk not of the deep things of God to those whom you know to be wallowing in sin. neither declare the great things God hath done for your soul to the profane, furious, persecuting wretches. Talk not of perfection, for instance, to the former; not of your experience to the latter. But our Lord does in nowise forbid us to reprove, as occasion is, both the one and the other.
