if_o we_o can_v hearty_o and_o true_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n do_v it_o by_o all_o the_o motive_n that_o god_n have_v propound_v to_o have_v a_o fear_v mere_o for_o punishment_n and_o still_o to_o retain_v the_o love_n of_o sin_n and_o no_o respect_n or_o love_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n this_o be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n in_o a_o save_a manner_n but_o to_o have_v a_o

this_o we_o must_v cherish_v so_o as_o we_o bring_v it_o to_o filial_a fear_n and_o then_o we_o deal_v aright_o in_o that_o last_o for_o filial_a fear_n we_o must_v cherish_v that_o at_o all_o time_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o get_v still_o a_o more_o reverend_a respect_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n so_o i_o have_v breief_o show_v you_o what_o fear_n be_v and_o what_o fear_v we_o must_v

that_o may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o now_o you_o see_v that_o a_o christian_n be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o may_v live_v without_o all_o fear_n that_o be_v carnal_a fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v

let_v we_o prepare_v for_o great_a trial_n for_o as_o much_o as_o such_o kind_a and_o degree_n of_o affliction_n and_o cross_n may_v befall_v we_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v
