3. Fruitfulness in righteousness, issuing from moral principles is usually more in the eyes of men, than in the eye of God: Such as are fruitful in righteousness from their own principles, are more studious to make all things seem good and glorious in the eyes of men, than they are to approve the righteousness of their hearts or ways to God; but he that is fruitful in righteousness as a branch in the vine, is more studious and careful to approve the uprightness of his heart and actions to God in all things, than to make things seem good in the sight of men; He is more desirous to be fruitful then to seem fruitful.
