“Righteousness is the religion of the kingdom of heaven towards man. Righteousness & Love are inseparable for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”

Isaac Newton (1643–1727) British physicist and mathematician and founder of modern classical physics

A short Schem of the true Religion
Context: Abel was righteous & Noah was a preacher of righteousness & by his righteousness he was saved from the flood. Christ is called the righteous & by his righteousness we are saved & except our righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees we shall not enter into the kingdome of heaven. Righteousness is the religion of the kingdom of heaven & even the property of God himself towards man. Righteousness & Love are inseparable for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
