Righteousness is a very comprehensive word. The Philosopher tells us, it takes in all other virtues whatsoever, It is not a part of virtue, but all virtue.

When righteousness is set as distinct from holiness and piety, then it is restrained to our dealings with men. Righteousness relates to men, and holiness to God, Luk. 1.75. Tit. 2.12. Gospel-grace teaches us to live soberly, in opposition to the intemperance of our bodies: righteously, in opposition to wrong in our actions, godly, in opposition to all impiety and profaneness of our minds.

But righteousness here takes in our whole duty, whether to God or man, The habitation of thy righteousness; that is, the place where thou exercisest all manner of holy and righteous duties toward God and toward man. Righteousness toward man, first, in distributive justice, giving every one his due in judgement, as thou art a Magistrate: Secondly, Righteousness towards man in commutative justice, giving every one his due in commerce, as thou art a neighbour.
