But after all these blasphemies, yet must y• holy ghost rebuke the world of their righteousness, yea of their false righteousness and false holiness, which are neither righteousness nor holiness, but colour of hypocrisy.

Christ here destroyeth not prayer, fasting & alms deed: But preacheth against the false purpose and intent of 1such works, and perverting the true use: that is to say, their seeking of glory, and that they esteemed themselves righteous thereby, and better then other men, and so despised and condemned their brethren. With our alms (which is as much to say as deeds of mercy) or compassion, we ought to seek our fathers glory only, even the wealth of our brethren, and to win them to the knowledge of our father, and keeping of his law. He that seeketh the glory of his good works, seeketh the glory that belongeth to God, and maketh himself God. Is it not a blind thing of the world, that either they will do no good works at all, or will be God for their good works, and have the glory themselves.
