Secondly, God hath no pleasure in them who boast of their own righteousness, and contemn others. Though a man may assert the righteousness of his Conversation against all them who question it; yet God resents it highly when any proclaim their own righteousness to the despising of others. Christ speaks a Parable against those (in the 18th of Luke, v. 9, 10, 11.) who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others. Two men went up into the Temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, the other a Publican: The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, adulterers, unjust, or even as this Publican. Here was one that advanced his own active righteousness, and he did it with the contempt of another, I am not as this Publican. The Lord takes no pleasure in this, yea the Lord is highly displeased with this. And (Isa 65.5.) the Prophet represents the Lords indignation against this pharisaical spirit in dreadful eloquence, Stand by thy self, come not near to me, for I am holier then thou. Thus they pleaded their righteousness in contempt of others. These (saith the Lord) are a smoke in my nose (that is, grievous, and displeasing) a fire that burneth all the day.
