That's such another form of speaking (Pro. 3.7.) Be not wise in thine own eyes; As also that (Pro. 26.12.) Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit, there is more hope of a fool then of him. ⟨p. 4⟩You may easier reduce a man that is indeed ignorant, then him, that thinks himself very wise, or knowing, but is not. This was the apprehension of Jobs friends concerning him, He was a man (thought they and so they said) righteous in his own eyes.

There are three sorts of righteous persons. First, such as are righteous in the eyes of God, and so the Godly are under a twofold notion; First, as being pardoned for or justified from their unrighteousness, through faith in Christ; Blessed are they who are thus accounted righteous in the eyes of God. Secondly, they are righteous, as avoiding unrighteous, and doing righteous things. There is a seed a principle of righteousness in persons justified and regenerated, which daily puts it self forth in righteous actings; He that doth righteousness is righteous (1 Joh: 3.7.) He is so, both as to his state, and as to his actions, in the eyes of God and good men.
