1There is a seeming righteousness, a mere Pharisaical paint, when a man carries himself blamelessly to men ward, at least in respect of the grosser acts of evil. This will save no man at the last, nor comfort him in time of temptation; there is a true and real righteousness, which will undoubtedly save them which can be so happy as to get it, and of this true righteousness there are two sorts, one of the Law, it standeth in a perfect conformity of heart and life unto the exact rule of Gods Law,2 And if there had been a Law given which could have given life, doubtless righteousness should have been by the Law, but now the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ may be given to them that believe: So now we must have a righteousness by promise, that is, by the Gospel, for that of the Law is too high for us.
