Self-righteousness is the devil's masterpiece to make us think well of ourselves.
Paradise had four rivers that watered the earth.... and howsoever neglected by many, they make glad the city of God. So Bernard sweetly: Eternal life is granted to us in election, promised in our vocation, sealed in our justification, possessed in our glorification. Conclude then, faithfully to thy own soul. I believe, therefore I am justified; I am justified, therefore I am sanctified; I am sanctified, therefore I am called; I am called, therefore I am elected; I am elected, therefore I shall be saved. Oh! settled comfort of joy, which ten thousand devils shall never make void.
The devil makes his Christmas-pie of lawyers' tongues and clerks' fingers.
If thou wilt fly from God, the devil will lend thee both spurs and a horse.
