saviour_n acknowledge_v that_o to_o weak_a and_o dim-sighted_a eye_n they_o do_v appear_v beautiful_a but_o to_o he_o who_o have_v a_o all-seeing_a eye_n they_o be_v the_o most_o errant_a hypocrite_n in_o the_o world_n a_o generation_n of_o viper_n that_o can_v not_o without_o a_o miracle_n escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n and_o all_o other_o most_o assure_o matth._n 5.20_o that_o except_o their_o righteousness_n exceed_v that_o of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o can_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n no_o in_o no_o wise_a it_o be_v impossible_a it_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o while_n to_o take_v a_o more_o particular_a view_n of_o their_o overmuch_a or_o excessive_a and_o yet_o defective_a righteousness_n 1._o they_o be_v great_a professor_n of_o religion_n but_o be_v more_o so_o in_o word_n than_o work_v for_o though_o they_o do_v in_o word_n confess_v yet_o in_o work_n they_o do_v deny_v god_n and_o godliness_n as_o matth._n 23.3_o 4._o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n sit_v in_o moses_n seat_n all_o therefore_o whatsoever_o they_o bid_v you_o observe_v that_o you_o observe_v and_o do_v but_o do_v not_o after_o their_o work_n for_o they_o say_v and_o do_v not_o they_o bound_v heavy_a burden_n and_o grievous_a to_o be_v bear_v and_o lay_v they_o on_o other_o man_n shoulder_n but_o they_o themselves_o will_v not_o touch_v they_o with_o one_o of_o their_o finger_n and_o what_o they_o do_v it_o be_v in_o hypocrisy_n for_o all_o their_o work_n they_o do_v to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n 2._o of_o all_o the_o sect_n for_o there_o be_v many_o they_o be_v the_o most_o precise_a strict_a and_o exquisite_a as_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v once_o of_o the_o number_n do_v confess_v act_v 26.45_o and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o that_o they_o be_v so_o much_o admire_v not_o for_o their_o learning_n their_o wit_n or_o eloquence_n but_o for_o their_o righteousness_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n our_o saviour_n censure_n and_o condemn_v in_o they_o and_o on_o great_a and_o just_a cause_n for_o first_o it_o be_v but_o external_a and_o in_o appearance_n they_o be_v like_o white_v or_o paint_v sepulcher_n which_o appear_v beautiful_a outward_a but_o be_v like_o they_o within_o too_o for_o they_o be_v rot_v and_o filthy_a full_a of_o hypocrisy_n and_o iniquity_n matth._n 23.27_o 28._o and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v unto_o they_o luke_n 15._o you_o be_v they_o which_o justify_v yourselves_o before_o man_n but_o god_n know_v your_o heart_n and_o that_o your_o appear_a righteousness_n which_o be_v but_o in_o show_n though_o it_o be_v high_o esteem_v among_o man_n be_v a_o abomination_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n second_o it_o be_v but_o their_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o which_o be_v through_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n thus_o the_o same_o apostle_n tell_v we_o phil._n 3._o touch_v the_o law_n say_v he_o i_o be_v a_o pharisee_n vers_fw-la 5._o and_o as_o to_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n blameless_a vers_fw-la 6._o and_o yet_o count_v this_o but_o loss_n and_o dung_n v._o 8._o that_o he_o may_v win_v christ_n and_o be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v his_o own_o legal_a righteousness_n which_o be_v all_o he_o have_v as_o a_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o be_v all_o that_o the_o pharisee_n have_v but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v through_o faith_n for_o without_o that_o which_o infinite_o exceed_v the_o other_o of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n he_o believe_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o he_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o heaven_n or_o be_v save_v yet_o three_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o outside_n and_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n as_o matth._n 5._o our_o saviour_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v if_o they_o do_v not_o actual_o murder_v or_o commit_v adultery_n causeless_a anger_n and_o lust_a after_o a_o woman_n in_o their_o heart_n be_v to_o they_o no_o transgressious_a of_o the_o law_n they_o have_v the_o law_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o mouth_n but_o not_o in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o be_v the_o people_n that_o know_v righteousness_n the_o people_n in_o who_o heart_n my_o law_n be_v say_v the_o lord_n isa_n 51.7_o and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n reflect_v this_o upon_o they_o with_o a_o woe_n in_o matth._n 23.25_o te_fw-la make_v clean_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o the_o platter_n but_o within_o they_o be_v full_a of_o extortion_n and_o excess_n mens_fw-la legis_fw-la est_fw-la lex_fw-la the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n but_o this_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o four_o their_o righteousness_n as_o to_o the_o law_n be_v but_o a_o observance_n of_o some_o of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n for_o many_o of_o they_o they_o do_v transgress_v as_o our_o saviour_n tax_v they_o matth._n 15.3_o but_o then_o it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a when_o we_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n psal_n 119.6_o and_o be_v like_o that_o renown_a pair_n zachary_n and_o elizabeth_n luke_n 1.6_o who_o be_v both_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n walk_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n without_o blame_n yea_o five_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n as_o to_o the_o law_n be_v place_v in_o ritual_n and_o positives_n the_o lesser_a thing_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o with_o neglect_n of_o the_o real_a and_o most_o weighty_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o what_o our_o saviour_n reprehend_v and_o almost_o curse_v they_o for_o matth._n 23.23_o woe_n to_o you_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n hypocrite_n for_o you_o pay_v tithe_n of_o mint_n annis_n and_o cummin_n but_o have_v omit_v the_o weight_a matter_n of_o the_o law_n judgement_n mercy_n faith_n and_o luke_o 11.42_o the_o love_n of_o god_n these_o ought_v you_o to_o have_v do_v and_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o other_o undo_v they_o be_v most_o unconscionable_o unjust_a and_o oppressive_a while_o they_o pretend_v conscience_n and_o think_v that_o these_o little_a ceremonial_a observance_n will_v make_v amends_o for_o all_o their_o great_a wickedness_n and_o villainy_n six_o and_o last_o as_o to_o this_o head_n their_o conformity_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o law_n as_o to_o their_o and_o their_o elder_n gloss_n upon_o and_o interpretation_n of_o the_o law_n i_o confess_v at_o such_o easy_a and_o cheap_a rate_n man_n may_v pass_v for_o blameless_a as_o blasphemous_a and_o injurious_a saul_n do_v and_o be_v pretender_n to_o yea_o professor_n of_o perfection_n they_o own_v the_o scripture_n but_o prefer_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o elder_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v unwritten_a one_o before_o they_o and_o as_o the_o romanist_n advance_v the_o dictate_v of_o pope_n and_o council_n before_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n so_o these_o use_v to_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o wise_a have_v more_o in_o they_o than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n for_o this_o our_o saviour_n take_v they_o up_o roundly_o and_o rebuke_n they_o cutting_o as_o they_o deserve_v matth._n 15._o and_o let_v they_o know_v that_o thereby_o they_o do_v worse_a than_o transgress_v for_o they_o make_v void_a the_o command_v of_o god_n and_o render_v they_o of_o little_a use_n and_o none_o effect_v you_o hypocrite_n well_o do_v esaias_n prophesy_v of_o you_o and_o your_o ill_a do_v say_v this_o people_n draw_v nigh_o i_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o honour_v i_o with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o i_o and_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o worship_v i_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o commandment_n of_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o these_o man_n religion_n be_v more_o of_o their_o own_o devise_v and_o fashion_v than_o in_o conform_v to_o the_o institution_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o be_v indeed_o but_o a_o apishmockery_n of_o the_o true_a and_o sound_a religion_n except_o therefore_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v etc._n etc._n but_o to_o proceed_v 3._o they_o be_v very_a orthodox_n and_o sound_n in_o many_o of_o their_o tenet_n beyond_o the_o sadducee_n etc._n etc._n they_o hold_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o live_v so_o sensual_o as_o if_o neither_o be_v true_a and_o as_o if_o they_o prefer_v the_o uppermost_a room_n at_o a_o feast_n before_o the_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n of_o heaven_n they_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v one_o and_o but_o one_o god_n and_o be_v right_a as_o to_o pure_a deism_n but_o god_n in_o
