The principle states: if one does not criticize a form of behavior in oneself or vow to stop it, then one should not criticize that behavior in another person.
The "does not" applies to both parts: does not criticize the behavior in oneself, and does not vow to stop it. So the principle triggers when both are true. If someone (1) does not criticize the behavior in themselves AND (2) does not vow to stop it, then they should not criticize that behavior in others.
If-then form: If you don't criticize a behavior in yourself, and you don't vow to stop that behavior, then you should not criticize that behavior in others.
The application concludes: if Shimada doesn't vow to stop being tardy, he shouldn't criticize McFeney for tardiness. Notice that the application mentions only one of the two conditions from the principle (not vowing to stop). It doesn't say anything about whether Shimada criticizes tardiness in himself.
For the application to follow from the principle, we need to fill in that missing piece. We need to learn that Shimada does not criticize tardiness in himself. If we know that, then combined with the application's "if" clause (he doesn't vow to stop being tardy), both parts of the sufficient condition of the principle are met, and the conclusion follows.
