we_o victory_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n four_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o passion_n of_o fear_n be_v of_o
the_o child_n christ_n jesus_n be_v command_v by_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n to_o flee_v into_o egypt_n for_o fear_n that_o herod_n will_v seek_v after_o the_o young_a child_n to_o destroy_v he_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o man_n flight_n do_v common_o proceed_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o not_o to_o avoid_v sin_n but_o if_o man_n to_o avoid_v lust_n will_v flee_v from_o their_o belove_a object_n 39.12_o gen._n 39.12_o as_o joseph_n do_v fly_v from_o his_o lewd_a mistress_n out_o of_o fear_n to_o offend_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o quench_v their_o lascivious_a desire_n for_o in_o the_o passion_n of_o true_a love_n between_o party_n of_o unequal_a degree_n there_o be_v not_o any_o better_a remedy_n to_o assuage_v and_o extinguish_v the_o flame_n of_o love_n then_o to_o make_v the_o lover_n to_o absent_v themselves_o one_o from_o another_o at_o a_o far_a distance_n and_o for_o some_o continuance_n of_o time_n for_o since_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o gutter_n do_v in_o continuance_n of_o time_n blot_v out_o any_o character_n grave_v upon_o a_o marble_n stone_n there_o be_v more_o probability_n that_o the_o impression_n of_o that_o object_n of_o beauty_n have_v make_v in_o the_o imaginaon_n of_o man_n or_o woman_n will_v soon_o be_v wear_v out_o with_o a_o long_a absence_n and_o it_o be_v daily_o see_v that_o the_o last_o object_n of_o a_o beauty_n drive_v out_o of_o man_n mind_n the_o former_a impression_n of_o another_o beauty_n and_o daily_a experience_n do_v show_v that_o to_o appease_v wrath_n the_o only_a remedy_n be_v to_o flee_v from_o or_o to_o eschew_v the_o presence_n of_o he_o that_o be_v transport_v with_o that_o passion_n for_o the_o cause_n be_v take_v away_o the_o effect_n cease_v so_o the_o object_n be_v remove_v which_o do_v cause_v the_o distemper_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o passion_n by_o degree_n do_v vanish_v away_o four_o the_o propriety_n of_o flight_n be_v as_o numerous_a as_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o similitude_n between_o hatred_n and_o flight_n flight_n the_o propriety_n of_o flight_n as_o there_o be_v between_o love_n and_o desire_v first_o it_o seem_v to_o fly_v from_o evil_n and_o do_v aim_n at_o the_o good_a second_o flight_n in_o outward_a appearance_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o coward_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o generous_a as_o the_o desire_n for_o to_o fly_v from_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a valour_n then_o to_o fight_v in_o the_o field_n with_o a_o valiant_a enemy_n sith_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o he_o that_o have_v the_o mastery_n over_o his_o own_o passion_n and_o can_v mortify_v the_o cupidity_n of_o his_o desire_n be_v a_o great_a conqueror_n than_o cesar_n three_o as_o the_o desire_n call_v hope_n to_o its_o aid_n when_o it_o can_v obtain_v that_o which_o be_v difficult_a so_o flight_n call_v to_o its_o aid_n fear_n and_o hatred_n that_o it_o may_v with_o swift_a wing_n fly_v from_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v overpowerful_a fourthly_a as_o the_o desire_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o indigence_n poverty_n and_o want_n so_o flight_n be_v a_o evidence_n of_o impatiency_n and_o imbecility_n and_o as_o man_n obtain_v by_o the_o prosecution_n of_o their_o desire_n such_o thing_n as_o they_o want_v so_o man_n by_o flight_n free_v themselves_o of_o those_o thing_n they_o most_o abhor_v and_o detest_v five_o the_o propriety_n of_o desire_n be_v to_o open_v and_o dilate_v the_o heart_n to_o make_v the_o same_o more_o eager_a after_o the_o prosecution_n of_o the_o good_a it_o aim_v at_o so_o flight_n shrink_v up_o the_o heart_n and_o debar_v sin_n from_o come_v in_o to_o it_o sixthly_a as_o man_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o desire_n enjoy_v and_o possess_v the_o good_a even_o so_o man_n by_o the_o help_n of_o flight_n preserve_v themselves_o from_o evil_n in_o a_o word_n hatred_n desire_n and_o flight_n be_v the_o two_o champion_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n desire_n and_o flight_n be_v the_o two_o faithful_a champion_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n for_o as_o love_n can_v execute_v any_o generous_a achievement_n without_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o desire_n so_o hatred_n can_v perform_v any_o noble_a exploit_n without_o the_o help_n of_o flight_n five_o the_o effect_n of_o flight_n flight_n the_o effect_n of_o flight_n tend_v either_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o body_n or_o of_o the_o soul_n i_o will_v then_o first_o speak_v of_o that_o of_o the_o body_n and_o acquaint_v you_o that_o all_o horrid_a and_o terrible_a thing_n that_o may_v procure_v the_o annihilation_n of_o man_n be_v or_o deprive_v they_o from_o the_o good_a they_o aim_v at_o entice_v this_o passion_n either_o to_o eschew_v or_o fly_v from_o they_o 19.10_o 1_o sam._n 18.11_o and_o 19.10_o it_o move_v david_n to_o avoid_v the_o javelin_n that_o saul_n throw_v at_o he_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o smite_v he_o even_o to_o the_o wall_n but_o david_n flee_v and_o escape_v again_o when_o he_o be_v inform_v by_o jonathan_n that_o saul_n his_o father_n do_v seek_v after_o his_o life_n than_o he_o flee_v again_o to_o nob_n to_o ahimelech_n the_o priest_n and_o divers_a other_o time_n when_o he_o be_v in_o danger_n he_o flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o saul_n and_o all_o to_o preserve_v his_o life_n and_o st._n paul_n be_v at_o damascus_n and_o hear_v that_o the_o jew_n

the_o wall_n in_o a_o basket_n preserve_v his_o life_n by_o his_o flight_n it_o appear_v then_o by_o these_o two_o instance_n that_o the_o effect_n of_o flight_n tend_v special_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o man_n be_v and_o when_o they_o fly_v from_o sin_n to_o the_o prevention_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o their_o soul_n for_o they_o have_v no_o better_a remedy_n as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v already_o to_o free_v themselves_o from_o lust_n and_o from_o all_o lascivious_a desire_n then_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o object_n that_o engender_v the_o same_o but_o why_o they_o fly_v soon_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_n then_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n i_o will_v hear_v enlarge_v myself_o and_o entreat_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o natural_a man_n that_o do_v so_o much_o abhor_v the_o punishment_n sin_n why_o man_n fly_v from_o the_o punishment_n rather_o than_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v so_o eager_a to_o preserve_v the_o guilt_n for_o the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n do_v more_o detest_v the_o guilt_n then_o the_o punishment_n for_o they_o know_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v as_o inseparable_a from_o the_o guilt_n as_o the_o shadow_n be_v from_o the_o body_n and_o they_o fear_v more_o to_o offend_v their_o gracious_a god_n than_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o wicked_a who_o have_v their_o portion_n in_o this_o life_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o punishment_n more_o than_o of_o the_o guilt_n because_o their_o supreme_a good_a be_v in_o this_o life_n which_o punishment_n seem_v to_o interrupt_v but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n carry_v their_o cross_n and_o have_v nothing_o but_o disgrace_n trouble_n and_o vexation_n in_o this_o life_n and_o expect_v their_o supreme_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n will_v be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o be_v confident_a and_o assure_v that_o the_o correction_n and_o punishment_n that_o god_n inflict_v upon_o they_o because_o of_o their_o sin_n be_v but_o so_o many_o evidence_n that_o their_o heavenly_a father_n do_v love_n and_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o and_o so_o do_v adore_v the_o arm_n and_o kiss_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o be_v please_v to_o chastise_v they_o for_o who_o the_o lord_n love_v say_v st._n paul_n 12.6_o heb._n 12.6_o he_o chasten_v and_o scourge_v every_o son_n who_o he_o receive_v but_o
