- 1The most holy have need of Christs righteousness: and the most righteous of his holiness.The most holie haue need of Christs righteousnes: and the most righteous of his holines.
3 Thou must ever beware of two extremities: The one, that thou labour not so for righteousness, that thou forget CHRIST to be thy holiness; the other, that thou so travel not for holiness, as that thou shouldest not remember him also to be thy righteousness. And so behave thy self in both, that thou beest most righteous in Christ, & yet thou must endeavour also to be holy, and though thou beest never so holy, yet know thou standest in need of the righteousness of Christ. Now to come to these things, thou must diligently attend on the word, whereby Christ Jesus is crucified a fresh in thine heart, on prayer, which worketh a feeling of thy Faith, on the Saints, which confirm thy Faith, and increase thy feeling.
