The Saints of God have a great deal of a self-righteous spirit remaining in them, and men must not conclude because they find such workings in their hearts, that they are self-righteous: no doubt many of the Galatians that were tainted with the doctrine of the Legalists were really converted, Gal. 4.14. there was somewhat of this spirit in Peter, Mat. 19.29. we have forsaken all, what shall we have therefore: as the people of God are not completely delivered from other corruptions, so not from carnal confidence: there is such a spirit working and sometimes prevailing in them: but there is also in the Saints an evangelical spirit, Phil. 3.3. we rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh: they allow not themselves to have any confidence in the Flesh.
