SQL Parse XML - Getting multiple records

I have the attached data in my database xml column

When I run this code I get duplicate output...2 of each...it runs once and then again...

-- variable to store the XML content
declare @xml_text varchar(max)

 -- xml document handle             
declare @i int                                         
  
-- get XML content from XML data type field in table into a variable  
select @xml_text = cast(xml_data as varchar(max)) from xmlImportBuffer  
  
-- prepare the XML document  
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @i OUTPUT, @xml_text  
  
-- Get the PacketNum and RunDate at the <Document> node level  
-- and rpeat these fields(CROSS APPLY) for every record at the <Record> node level  
select * from  
        openxml(@i,'/Document',2)  
        with  
        (  
                PacketNum nvarchar(100),  
                RunDate nvarchar(10)  
        )  
CROSS APPLY  
(  
        select * from  
        openxml(@i,'/Document/Record',2)  
        with  
        (  
                SeqNumber int,  
                LienRefNum nvarchar(20),
                DFSNumber nvarchar(20),

                Ref4 nvarchar(1000),
                --RecordStatus varchar(20) './RecordStatus/@Status',  
                RecordStatus varchar(20) 'RecordStatus/@Status',    
                FilingOffice nvarchar(50)

Or just have this as the whole query:

select * from  
        openxml(@i,'/Document/Record',2)  
        with  
        (  
                PacketNum nvarchar(100) '../PacketNum',  
                RunDate nvarchar(10) '../RunDate',
                SeqNumber int,  
                LienRefNum nvarchar(20),
                DFSNumber nvarchar(20),
                Ref1 nvarchar(1000),  
                Ref2 nvarchar(1000),
                Ref3 nvarchar(1000), 
                Ref4 nvarchar(1000),
                --RecordStatus varchar(20) './RecordStatus/@Status',  
                RecordStatus varchar(20) 'RecordStatus/@Status',    
                FilingOffice nvarchar(50),
                FirstName nvarchar(50) './FirstDebtorName/IndividualName/FirstName',
                LastName nvarchar(50) './FirstDebtorName/IndividualName/LastName'
