1. A proud conceit of our own fullness, Righteousness, sufficiency: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance, said Christ And the wh•le need 1no physician, but the sick. And the Son of man is c•me to seek and to save that which was lost. Now faith that unites to Christ, breaks this partition wall, and levels this mountain: it empties the sinner of himself, it takes away all confidence in ⟨p. 193⟩himself, and will (by no means) suffer him to rest upon, or to be found in his own righteousness, Phil. 3. 3. We rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. verse 9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ.
