fear_n prohibit_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n fear_n be_v oft_o command_v in_o scripture_n fear_n know_v then_o there_o be_v divers_a kind_n of_o fear_n first_o natural_a fear_n and_o that_o be_v call_v natural_a either_o in_o regard_n natural_a of_o the_o material_a or_o efficient_a cause_n when_o the_o party_n that_o do_v fear_n be_v phlegmatic_a or_o melancholy_n and_o so_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o fear_n this_o may_v be_v call_v a_o natural_a fear_n or_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o object_n when_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o that_o which_o be_v destructive_a to_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o man_n and_o so_o whatsoever_o may_v prejudice_v nature_n now_o this_o natural_a fear_n be_v a_o affection_n that_o almighty_a god_n concreated_a with_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v natural_o good_a it_o be_v moral_o neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a but_o according_a as_o it_o be_v determine_v by_o circumstance_n again_o there_o be_v a_o carnal_a evil_a fear_n namely_o when_o a_o man_n fear_v fear_n the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n more_o than_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n a_o corporal_a evil_a more_o than_o a_o spiritual_a a_o temporal_a more_o than_o a_o eternal_a he_o be_v afraid_a of_o lose_v something_o he_o enjoy_v or_o of_o not_o get_v something_o he_o desire_v etc._n etc._n in_o either_o regard_v there_o may_v be_v a_o carnal_a fear_n as_o i_o shall_v explain_v it_o to_o you_o more_o anon_o and_o this_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v carnal_a be_v ever_o to_o be_v condemn_v three_o there_o be_v a_o servile_a fear_n and_o this_o be_v such_o a_o fear_n as_o fear_n look_n at_o the_o punishment_n only_o and_o not_o at_o the_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o never_o fear_v sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o so_o withal_o when_o this_o fear_n be_v only_o servile_a and_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o man_n desire_v still_o to_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o sin_n a_o wish_v that_o god_n will_v give_v he_o leave_v to_o sin_n and_o let_v loose_v the_o reins_n to_o he_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a there_o be_v no_o god_n no_o devil_n no_o heaven_n nor_o hell_n that_o he_o may_v sin_v free_o and_o if_o he_o abstain_v from_o sin_n at_o any_o time_n the_o cause_n be_v that_o there_o be_v this_o punishment_n that_o be_v the_o consequent_a of_o sin_n and_o not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n or_o obedience_n to_o his_o commandment_n now_o this_o servile_a fear_n though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v not_o saving_o please_v to_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a as_o s._n austin_n observe_v for_o that_o man_n that_o fear_v servy_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a though_o he_o do_v it_o not_o well_o because_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o depend_v upon_o the_o disposition_n and_o will_v of_o he_o that_o do_v the_o thing_n though_o the_o thing_n be_v good_a as_o far_o as_o it_o go_v it_o be_v good_a for_o the_o restrain_v of_o evil_a man_n from_o outrage_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v a_o preparative_n in_o the_o way_n to_o conversion_n as_o it_o be_v act._n 2._o 2._o last_o there_o be_v a_o filial_a sonlike_a fear_n that_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o greatness_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o goodness_n fear_n of_o god_n whereby_o a_o man_n so_o hate_v punishment_n as_o he_o hate_v sin_n also_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o now_o there_o be_v divers_a degree_n of_o filial_a fear_n one_o degree_n we_o call_v innitiall_a fear_n in_o this_o world_n and_o a_o degree_n of_o perfection_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v in_o this_o world_n the_o fear_n we_o have_v have_v one_o eye_n upon_o the_o punishment_n and_o another_o eye_n upon_o the_o commandment_n or_o love_n of_o god_n and_o here_o many_o make_v a_o doubt_n whether_o they_o be_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n or_o to_o abstain_v from_o evil_a out_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n for_o answer_v brief_o any_o thing_n almighty_a god_n have_v make_v a_o motive_n to_o we_o to_o encourage_v we_o to_o do_v well_o or_o to_o deter_v we_o from_o evil_a we_o may_v make_v a_o motive_n to_o ourselves_o and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o do_v so_o we_o do_v well_o it_o be_v so_o with_o adam_n in_o paradise_n this_o be_v propound_v as_o a_o motive_n in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v then_o to_o abstain_v from_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n partly_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o punishment_n if_o adam_n do_v so_o he_o do_v well_o so_o every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o any_o evil_n we_o may_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o punishment_n that_o will_v be_v the_o consequent_a of_o the_o thing_n for_o christ_n urge_v this_o to_o his_o own_o disciple_n fear_v not_o he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o do_v thing_n mere_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o punishment_n at_o all_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o any_o man_n shall_v aspire_v to_o that_o perfection_n for_o god_n while_o we_o be_v here_o have_v give_v we_o these_o motive_n to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o avoid_v evil_a and_o it_o be_v well_o 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 eye_n to_o god_n and_o to_o abstain_v from_o sin_n partly_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o punishment_n this_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n for_o a_o man_n must_v love_v himself_o in_o subordination_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v look_v to_o the_o avoid_n of_o evil_a and_o to_o the_o get_n of_o good_a eternal_a to_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o these_o fear_n we_o may_v consider_v of_o they_o thus_o the_o natural_a fear_n may_v be_v accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n that_o must_v be_v order_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n second_o carnal_a fear_n come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n nor_o be_v accompany_v with_o it_o this_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v mortify_v this_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o and_o this_o fear_n abraham_n be_v exhort_v against_o here_o three_o the_o fear_n that_o be_v servile_a it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o yet_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o present_v when_o the_o day_n dawn_v but_o some_o glimpse_n go_v before_o he_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 labour_v to_o be_v free_v from_o all_o slavish_a and_o carnal_a fear_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o world_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n any_o ill_n that_o may_v befall_v we_o or_o any_o good_a 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
