Let me not be mistaken I intend no derogation to Righteousness but
the bringing it into its own place namely that it is to be used as that
where according to Christ's directions we may meet with him from
whose hands alone we may expect whatever we pant after according
to his will [reserving?] a [submission?] to be disposed of otherwise if
he see fits. Again it is not the spiritualness or the fervency in
the performance of Duties that carries it but when Duties are
performed as to the Lord and for the Lord and not to & for ourselves

O my Soul, in respect of all these ends, used exercise Duties
but be sure of Christ in all above all more than all O let
Christ have the Crown set on his head give him all the
Glory. Cast not away Duties but cast them down at the
feet of Jesus Christ as the twenty four Elders cast their Crowns
saying Thou art worthy O Lord to receive glory and honor
and power for thou hast created all things (all Duties) and
for thy pleasure they are & were created.
