For I say unto you, except your 1righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye can not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
For I say vnto you, except your 1righteousnesse excede the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Phariseis, ye can not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
- 1The righteousness of Pharisees.The righteousnes of Phariseis.
The righteousness of the Scribes & Pharisees can not enter into the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is the true knowledge of God & Christ: Ergo the righteousness of the Scribes & Pharisees neither knoweth God nor Christ. He that is willing to obey the will of God, understandeth the doctrine of Christ, as it is proved above: the Scribes and the Pharisees understand not the doctrine of Christ: Ergo, they have no will nor lust to obey the will of God. To obey the will of God, is to seek the glory of God (for the glory of a master is the meek obedience of his servants, the glory of a Prince is the humble obedience of his subjects, the glory of an husband is the chaste obedience of his wife, the glory of a father is the loving obedience of his children) the Scribes and the Pharisees have no lust to obey y• will of God: Ergo, they seek not the glory of God. 1Furthermore the Scribes & the Pharisees seek their own glory, they that 2seek their own glory, preach their own doctrine, Ergo, the Scribes and the Pharisees preach their own doctrine. The major thou hast Math. xxiij the Scribes and Pharisees do all their works to be seen of men: they love to sit uppermost at feasts and to have the chief seats in the Synagogues, and salutations in the open markets, and to be called Rabbi. And the minor followeth the text above rehearsed John vij. he that speaketh of himself or of his own head, seeketh his own glory: that is to say, he that preacheth his own doctrine is ever known by seeking his own glory: so that it is a general rule to know that a man preacheth his own doctrine, if he seek his own glory.
