advantage_n when_o it_o may_v dishonour_v god_n name_n because_o they_o fear_v god_n and_o love_n god_n name_n and_o i_o believe_v god_n will_v put_v such_o a_o difference_n between_o ishmael_n and_o

these_o god_n will_v manifest_v his_o displeasure_n against_o but_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o again_o as_o a_o 4_o motive_n to_o press_v you_o to_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n consider_v the_o judgement_n threaten_v against_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o not_o for_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o outward_a profession_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o your_o heart_n you_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o escape_v the_o great_a judgement_n of_o the_o great_a god_n against_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o not_o i_o will_v be_v a_o swift_a witness_n against_o they_o that_o fear_v not_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n mal._n 3.5_o but_o to_o this_o man_n will_v he_o look_v even_o to_o he_o that_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n isa_n 66.2_o and_o therefore_o as_o a_o 5_o motive_n consider_v the_o many_o precious_a promise_n god_n have_v make_v to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o they_o shall_v be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o when_o he_o make_v up_o his_o jewel_n he_o will_v remember_v those_o that_o fear_v he_o yea_o he_o have_v his_o book_n of_o remembrance_n for_o such_o soul_n he_o will_v be_v sure_a not_o to_o forget_v they_o mal._n 3.16_o 17._o and_o bless_v be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o prov._n 28.14_o and_o you_o may_v find_v david_n press_v to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o account_n psal_n 34_o 9_o 10._o o_o fear_v the_o lord_n all_o you_o his_o saint_n for_o there_o be_v no_o want_n to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o the_o young_a lion_n shall_v lack_v and_o suffer_v

be_v promise_v unto_o those_o that_o have_v this_o fear_n see_v it_o in_o rev._n 11.18_o he_o will_v reward_v his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n and_o those_o that_o fear_v his_o name_n small_a and_o

servant_n and_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o both_o small_a and_o great_a and_o so_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v the_o prayer_n yea_o to_o fulfil_v the_o desire_n of_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o psal_n 145.19_o and_o be_v not_o these_o great_a privilege_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o those_o that_o fear_n god_n and_o therefore_o let_v all_o these_o motive_n be_v useful_a to_o work_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n where_o it_o be_v not_o and_o to_o increase_v it_o where_o it_o be_v quest_n but_o perhaps_o some_o may_v say_v this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o come_v by_o it_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o plant_v this_o plant_n in_o our_o own_o soul_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o flower_n that_o do_v not_o grow_v

david_n tell_v we_o the_o like_a psal_n 36.1_o they_o have_v not_o this_o true_a sonlike_a fear_n natural_a man_n be_v unacquainted_a with_o it_o 2_o that_o this_o fear_n come_v by_o union_n with_o

we_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o gracious_a frame_n of_o spirit_n to_o fear_v the_o lord_n in_o truth_n this_o be_v a_o lesson_n which_o the_o spirit_n teach_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o david_n cry_v out_o come_v you_o child_n and_o hearken_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n psa_n 34.11_o and_o this_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v to_o his_o people_n jerem._n 32.40_o i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o i_o but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o the_o spirit_n work_v this_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n 3_o i_o say_v it_o be_v through_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o work_n by_o christ_n by_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n i_o understand_v his_o attribute_n when_o moses_n desire_v to_o see_v god_n glory_n he_o show_v he_o his_o attribute_n in_o exod._n 34.5_o 6._o he_o proclaim_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o what_o be_v it_o why_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n god_n merciful_a and_o gracious_a long_o suffer_v and_o abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n this_o be_v the_o discovery_n of_o god_n glory_n the_o discovery_n of_o his_o name_n 1_o he_o begin_v with_o his_o attribute_n that_o denote_v his_o sovereignty_n and_o dominion_n the_o lord_n solomon_n tell_v we_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n and_o indeed_o until_o a_o soul_n understand_v something_o of_o the_o sovereignty_n and_o dominion_n of_o god_n over_o he_o he_o never_o come_v to_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o god_n love_n and_o goodness_n for_o until_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o see_v that_o god_n order_v all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o great_a god_n to_o dispose_v of_o he_o as_o he_o will_v and_o that_o he_o can_v destroy_v he_o and_o cast_v he_o to_o hell_n if_o he_o please_v he_o can_v find_v any_o sweetness_n in_o the_o tender_v of_o grace_n in_o the_o gospel_n nor_o apply_v his_o soul_n in_o reality_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o i_o find_v that_o when_o the_o prophet_n of_o god_n of_o old_a time_n bring_v god_n message_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n they_o usual_o speak_v to_o they_o as_o from_o the_o lord_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n you_o have_v it_o sometime_o twice_o in_o a_o verse_n set_v forth_o god_n right_a of_o sovereignty_n over_o they_o to_o who_o they_o deliver_v their_o message_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v exceed_o needful_a to_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v god_n word_n or_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o his_o work_n when_o the_o soul_n consider_v god_n sovereignty_n over_o he_o it_o cause_v he_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n and_o fear_v before_o he_o and_o therefore_o by_o this_o you_o may_v try_v yourselves_o whether_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v in_o you_o or_o no_o do_v the_o lord_n ever_o show_v himself_o to_o you_o as_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o make_v you_o to_o lie_v at_o his_o foot_n as_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o as_o clay_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o potter_n for_o if_o ever_o god_n have_v wrought_v this_o fear_n in_o your_o heart_n this_o be_v your_o frame_n i_o know_v many_o have_v a_o notional_a knowledge_n of_o god_n sovereignty_n and_o be_v able_a to_o write_v book_n of_o it_o but_o be_v your_o heart_n real_o affect_v with_o it_o so_o as_o to_o lie_v low_a before_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o it_o i_o find_v it_o hard_o in_o every_o action_n to_o know_v this_o god_n to_o be_v the_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o all_o and_o that_o he_o rule_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n and_o to_o fear_v continual_o before_o he_o but_o 2_o there_o be_v god_n goodness_n which_o be_v another_o thing_n wherein_o his_o glory_n appear_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n god_n merciful_a and_o gracious_a and_o this_o follow_v the_o former_a much_o conduce_v to_o fear_v he_o when_o the_o soul_n consider_v that_o the_o great_a god_n that_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o before_o who_o all_o nation_n be_v but_o as_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n shall_v offer_v tender_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o such_o a_o poor_a sinful_a creature_n this_o incline_v the_o heart_n to_o hearken_v to_o he_o and_o fear_v before_o he_o know_v this_o that_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o exercise_v love_a kindness_n judgement_n and_o righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n jerem._n 9.24_o and_o that_o he_o be_v good_a to_o all_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o psal_n 34.9_o 10_o 11._o this_o bring_v the_o heart_n over_o to_o god_n indeed_o when_o god_n greatness_n and_o goodness_n be_v display_v before_o the_o soul_n together_o this_o work_v up_o the_o heart_n in_o reality_n towards_o god_n o_o how_o do_v david_n admire_v god_n love_n when_o he_o consider_v the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n in_o psal_n 8.3_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o heaven_n the_o work_n of_o thy_o finger_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n which_o thou_o have_v make_v what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v

as_o these_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n that_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o can_v be_v move_v and_o what_o a_o strong_a influence_n it_o have_v
