They which note this article of heresy, may note them selves rather to be like the Pharisee. Luke. 18. who foolishly flattering himself in the false opinion of his own righteousness, was not subdued to the righteousness, which standeth before God,1 by faith, and therefore went home to his house less justified then the publican. If the scriptures condemn the hart of man to be crooked even from his youth Gene. 6. and also condemneth all the righteousness of man to be like a filed cloth, & if S. Paul could find in his flesh no good thing dwelling, but showeth, a continual resistance between the old man and the new, then must it follow, that these pharisees which condemn this article of heresy, either carry no flesh, nor no old man about them to be resisted or verily, say what they will, they can not choose but be cumbered with evil motions for the inward man continually to fight against. The place of the author sufficiently defendeth it self, as followeth.
