The Introduction IT is the triumph of this Theologicall vertue of the Feare of God that those who have least affinitie with it yet applaud it and professe it And it is my happinesse that nothing can commend a grace that is not with advantage excentred in this If I should here declare the nobilitie excellencie and transcendencie of the feare of God in it selfe and the utilitie and absolute indispensable necessitie of it in reference to us I should but fore-stall and prevent my selfe It is sufficient to premise both to excuse my writing to provoke all Christians advisedly diligently and throughly to read this ensuing discourse that though many have briefe essayes yet few or none have done this Royall grace the honour or right to allot unto it a compleat full treatise And that that may invite alleyes minds hither is this consideration that when many other graces are peculiarly pertinent to persons as they are members of a family in the threefold combination therin between husband and wife parent and childe master and servant Or as they are members of a politicke body ecclesiasticall or civill And when other duties receive specification and restriction from circumstances of time place this of the feare of God like a well limbed picture casteth an eye on all that looke on it It corresponds to all persons none excluded It is seasonable at all times sacred and common especially when the scourges of God lye upon neighbouring Nations and threaten us And the thoughts hereof may justly in all places presse upon us without being guilty of unmannerly instruction Now for the methodicall contriving of this discourse I shall by divine assistance pursue that order that may most aptly answer the subject matter and may bee most facile and appliable to the mindes and memories of the Readers CHAP. II. Of the nature and kindes both of feare in generall and of the feare of God in particular THE first inquiry will be What the feare of God is Where the nature and kindes both of feare in generall and in particular of the feare of God will opportunely fall in Now to penetrate the depth of this Quaere we must distinguish of feare 1. As it is a naturall affection indifferent in it selfe neither morally good nor evill 2. As it is a habit or qualitie inherent in the affection If we consider feare as it is a naturall affection implanted in the reasonable Soule of man indifferent in it selfe neither morally good nor evill
