The Point prosecuted more strictly Page 26 Chap. 7. How Faith helpeth against the fear of man Opened in fifteen particulars Page 30 Chap. 8. Arguments against the fear of man taken from the Consideration of Man First as Man in six particulars very observable 1. What he is 2. The vanity of Man 3. The dwelling of man 4. The pomp of man 5. The foundation of man 6. The life of man Secondly As a wicked man 1. His baseness 2. What he is in the greatness of his power opposing the Godly 3. How near the enemies of Gods people are to ruine and destruction Page 44 Chap. 9. How Audaciousness and boldness of spirit differ from Faith 1. Audaciousness makes us bold to sin 2. It appears in causes that concern our selves more then in those which concern God 3. Boldness the curing of one passion with another Faith the curing of passion by Grace 4. Natural boldness makes men rash and hinders consultation 5. The cause of immodesty 6. It is sudden and violent 7. It proceeds and lives upon outward encouragements 8. The issue of ignorance 9. Or despair 10. More outward then inward Page 49 Chap. 10. Sheweth How far we may lawfully avoid danger without fear of men 1. Religion doth not teach men to be foolish or desperate 2. The care of a Christian ought to be to do his duty rather than to avoid danger which may fal out in his duty 3. When God brings his people into danger he intends more to exercise their graces then to try their discretion 4. Though danger may be avoided yet it is more honorable for a Christian to be called to exercise Faith Courage Patience and in away of suffering then his prudence in avoiding it 5. Take care of mistaking discretion which is not wont to abate the vigor of Gods Graces but to improve and increase them 6. A Christians greatest endeavor should be to get his will to submit to God Page 53 Chap. 11. Contains a further Resolution of the former Case in nine particulars 1. God doth give leave to his people to fly and avoid Danger 2. Such avoiding of Danger if rightly qualified argues neither distrust of God nor defect of Courage 3. In some cases Christians not only permitted but commanded to flee as 1. When no extraordinary thing depends upon him in that station in which God hath set him 2. When the hand of God looseth those relations which would otherwise be obligations to him 3. When God gives him an opportunity else where to bring greater revenues of glory to him 4. When a Christian is doubtful about his call to suffer at the present 4. There are some cases wherin it is utterly unlawful to flee viz. The contrary to those above named 5. Mistakes in flying 1. To flee upon every slight and trival thing 2. When it tends to their spiritual disadvantage 3. When having secretly denied the Faith Men flee to prevent the shame of Apostacie 4. When they look at their own safety alone without care to fit themselves for further service of God 6. How to know when avoiding dangers proceeds from Faith or Cowardise 1. That which is by Faith is not in a Violent Rash Heady manner 2. When it proceeds from Faith it is joined with a resolution to return and bear wittness to the truth when God cals 3. When we use the liberty we have to get hearts to return 7 The case of publique Officers Magistrates Ministers especially the latter Page 58 Chap. 12.
