god_n yet_o be_v it_o most_o profitable_a for_o sinner_n note_v and_o such_o as_o yet_o but_o begin_v to_o serve_v god_n for_o that_o it_o move_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o to_o look_v about_o they_o for_o which_o cause_n best_a it_o be_v call_v by_o the_o wise_a man_n 1._o the_o beginning_n of_o wisdom_n and_o therefore_o both_o jonas_n to_o the_o ninivite_n 13._o and_o s._n john_n baptist_n to_o the_o jew_n 3._o and_o all_o the_o prophet_n to_o sinner_n have_v use_v to_o stir_v up_o this_o fear_n by_o threaten_v the_o danger_n &_o punishment_n which_o be_v imminent_a to_o they_o if_o they_o repent_v not_o but_o yet_o afterward_o when_o man_n be_v convert_v to_o god_n and_o do_v go_v forward_o in_o his_o service_n they_o change_v every_o day_n this_o servile_a fear_n into_o love_n until_o they_o arrive_v at_o last_o unto_o that_o state_n whereof_o saint_n john_n say_v 4._o that_o perfect_a love_n or_o charity_n expel_v fear_n joh._n whereupon_o s._n austen_n say_v that_o fear_n be_v the_o servant_n send_v before_o to_o prepare_v place_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o his_o mistress_n which_o be_v charity_n who_o be_v once_o enter_v in_o and_o perfect_o place_v fear_n go_v out_o again_o and_o give_v place_n unto_o the_o same_o but_o where_o this_o fear_n never_o enter_v at_o all_o there_o be_v it_o impossible_a for_o charity_n ever_o to_o come_v and_o dwell_v say_v this_o holy_a father_n 28_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o albeit_o this_o fear_n of_o punishment_n be_v not_o in_o very_o perfect_a man_n or_o at_o lestwise_n be_v less_o in_o they_o than_o in_o other_o as_o saint_n john_n teach_v yet_o be_v join_v with_o fear_n love_n and_o reverence_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v most_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a for_o all_o common_a christian_n who_o life_n be_v not_o so_o perfect_a nor_o charity_n so_o great_a as_o that_o perfection_n whereof_o saint_n john_n speak_v this_o appear_v by_o that_o that_o christ_n
