I both trust Christ & trust in Christ when I believe
that he is the Standard al all saving Righteousness communicable
to man and all my righteousness & holiness is but
the reflection of him. I trust in Christ when I live resignedly
at his feet to be made holy. And whatsoever composure
of heart I do at any time receive I do not nor cannot hold it
but tis held by him while it remains and when it withdraws
it lives in the Root for me. I am ready to think if I
had all graces in my own dispose I woud manage them to
the glory of God but how can God be glorified more than
in an hold content to live at his allowance? All his design
is to allure me and so force me out of myself to live
in him as well as to live by him he bestows his grace
within doors. I must not take his graces to myself
to put it to usury for increase but must fetch the Increase
as well as the Principal from him by union with him
through Jesus Christ and my work is to rest on his
faithfulness wisdom willingness and readiness to supply
me as if every grace of the Spirit were fully in my own
true life of Faith this is the way of walking up and down
in the Name of the Lord. When I actually acknowledge
every measure of Spiritual Strength to hold its tenure
from Jesus Christ Singly and wholly and rest confidently
upon him for it and that because he hath promised
both Grace Glory and every good thing Judging him
faithful who hath promised and owning him thereon
for any inheritance and myself nothing but what he is
