Note, Are not those Preachers and Prelates then the Least and basest, that preach and tread down Christian love of all that dissent from any of their presumptions, and so preach down not the Least, but the Great command.
20. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
20. So far am I from Preaching looseness, or favouring sin, that I tell you, tho the Scribes and Pharisees pretend to the strictest keeping of the Law; if you keep it not better than they do, and be not a better and a more righteous sort of men, you shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Note, That besides Christ's Righteousness, there is necessary to all (at age) that will be saved, a righteousness consisting in more careful exact obedience to God, than any formal Hypocrite hath. And this God's Spirit worketh them unto.
