3. It lies not in a moral righteousness. This exceeds not the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, and therefore cannot bring us to the Kingdom of God. Matth. 5. 20. Paul, while unconverted, was touching the righteousness which is in the Law blameless, Phil. 3. 6. None could say black is thine eye. The •elfjusticiary could say, I am no Extortioner, adulterer, unjust, &c. Luke 18. 11. Thou must have something more than all this to show, or else (however thou mayest justify thy self) God will condemn thee. I condemn not morality, but warn you not to rest here. Piety includes morality, as Christianity doth humanity, and grace reason. But we must not divide the tables.
