Duties in themselves are but empty weaker
means of prevailing against Sin, like the
mighty Sails of a ship without wind and tide
no question but [having occations?] strictness
and severity in Duties watchfulness &c dwell
in their place and order like Oars in a
Boat which though it be carried with the
Tide if well managed yet they may
help it to get the farther However it is
Christ crucified which is the power
of all in all it is Christ lifted up as Moses
lifted up the Serpent which strikes more
soundness into the wounded beholder than
any other way wherein some toiled all their
time for power over corruptions and like
Peter have caought little or nothing because
Jesus Christ was not in the company.
