our_o judge_n &_o our_o own_o conscience_n witness_n whether_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n which_o be_v here_o command_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n now_o

certain_o know_v the_o same_o the_o first_o way_n be_v the_o birth_n of_o it_o for_o if_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o you_o come_v out_o of_o that_o spring_n and_o be_v breed_v in_o that_o sort_n as_o true_a fear_n be_v then_o have_v you_o cause_n to_o rejoice_v the_o second_o be_v by_o the_o natural_a and_o lively_a effect_n of_o the_o same_o fear_n for_o doubtless_o every_o thing_n especial_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n work_v not_o counterfait_o but_o according_a to_o it_o own_o nature_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o false_a and_o bastardly_a fear_n of_o god_n which_o utter_v not_o itself_o in_o convenient_a measure_n by_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o true_a fear_n the_o three_o way_n be_v by_o such_o thing_n as_o unseparable_o follow_v and_o accompany_v the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n which_o s._n peter_n speak_v of_o for_o the_o first_o way_n you_o must_v observe_v &_o know_v that_o the_o earnest_a fear_n of_o god_n spring_v and_o proceed_v of_o a_o right_n and_o reverend_a knowledge_n and_o meditation_n of_o the_o surpass_a power_n bottomless_a wise_a doom_n infallible_a providence_n undefiled_a justice_n incomparable_a goodness_n and_o other_o such_o heavenly_a attribute_n of_o god_n nature_n as_o the_o scripture_n give_v unto_o it_o for_o when_o the_o consideration_n of_o man_n mind_n be_v true_o fix_v and_o set_v upon_o the_o inward_a view_n &_o behold_v of_o these_o thing_n the_o glory_n of_o they_o be_v such_o that_o it_o do_v strike_v &_o possess_v the_o heart_n with_o a_o unfeigned_a reverence_n of_o that_o person_n who_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o by_o so_o glorious_a name_n employ_v so_o great_a and_o wonderful_a effect_n be_v rather_o point_v at_o than_o full_o define_v this_o that_o i_o say_v be_v manifest_a by_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n for_o consider_v how_o none_o be_v like_a to_o the_o lord_n in_o power_n how_o he_o be_v great_a and_o incomparablie_o wise_a than_o all_o the_o prudent_a man_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o how_o none_o be_v like_a to_o he_o in_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o show_v what_o this_o meditation_n breed_v in_o he_o and_o what_o it_o work_v in_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o burst_v forth_o into_o these_o word_n who_o shall_v not_o fear_v thou_o o_o king_n of_o nation_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o whosoever_o do_v right_o meditate_v and_o study_v upon_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o but_o hereby_o grow_v into_o a_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n or_o at_o the_o least_o that_o the_o unfeigned_a and_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n spring_v hereupon_o provide_v always_o that_o we_o take_v this_o view_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o and_o not_o by_o the_o fancy_n or_o imagination_n
