from_o he_o he_o that_o ask_v timorous_o only_o beg_v a_o denial_n from_o god_n but_o yet_o that_o this_o boldness_n may_v not_o degenerate_a into_o rudeness_n and_o irreverence_n he_o require_v that_o our_o freedom_n with_o he_o be_v temper_v with_o a_o awful_a fear_n of_o he_o we_o must_v come_v in_o all_o humility_n and_o prostration_n of_o soul_n with_o break_a heart_n and_o bend_a knee_n to_o touch_v that_o golden_a sceptre_n that_o he_o hold_v forth_o to_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o these_o five_o thing_n how_o consistent_a the_o grace_n of_o fear_n be_v with_o other_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o a_o full_a assurance_n it_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o love_n it_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o a_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n nor_o to_o a_o holy_a rejoice_v no_o nor_o to_o a_o holy_a boldness_n differ_v wherein_o slavish_a and_o filial_a fear_n differ_v now_o because_o i_o have_v make_v frequent_a mention_n of_o filial_a and_o slavish_a fear_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o each_o of_o these_o mean_n i_o shall_v brief_o give_v you_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o effect_n in_o their_o concomitant_n and_o in_o their_o effect_n now_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o concomitant_n and_o in_o their_o effect_n concomitant_n 1._o in_o their_o concomitant_n first_o slavish_a fear_n have_v always_o two_o dreadful_a concomitant_n and_o they_o be_v dispair_n and_o hatred_n or_o enmity_n against_o god_n 1._o in_o slavish_a fear_n there_o be_v always_o some_o degree_n of_o dispair_n dispair_n in_o slavish_a fear_n there_o be_v always_o some_o degree_n of_o dispair_n now_o this_o slavish_a fear_n be_v join_v with_o dreadful_a expectation_n of_o wrath._n a_o slave_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o fault_n expect_v no_o other_o than_o to_o be_v punish_v for_o it_o without_o mercy_n so_o those_o that_o lie_v under_o this_o slavish_a fear_n apprehend_v and_o account_v of_o god_n no_o otherwise_o than_o the_o slothful_a servant_n as_o a_o severe_a lord_n and_o a_o cruel_a tyrant_n that_o will_v exact_v punishment_n from_o they_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o desert_n they_o expect_v no_o other_o but_o that_o certain_o god_n wrath_n will_v kindle_v upon_o they_o and_o burn_v they_o eternal_o and_o this_o make_v they_o live_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o heb._n 10.27_o in_o certain_a fearful_a expectation_n of_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n that_o shall_v devour_v they_o as_o adversary_n this_o kind_n of_o horrid_a fear_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o be_v common_a to_o most_o wicked_a man_n and_o though_o they_o brave_v it_o out_o and_o most_o of_o they_o speak_v high_a matter_n of_o their_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n their_o own_o heart_n and_o conscience_n tell_v they_o sad_a and_o misgive_a story_n of_o hell_n and_o everlasting_a wrath._n but_o now_o a_o true_a and_o filial_a fear_n of_o god_n look_v at_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n with_o dread_a and_o terror_n but_o not_o with_o expectation_n there_o be_v the_o difference_n slavish_a fear_n look_v upon_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o expect_v it_o filial_a fear_n look_v upon_o it_o as_o due_a but_o not_o with_o expectation_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v inflict_v upon_o it_o god_n 2._o slavish_a fear_n be_v accompany_v with_o hatred_n of_o god_n 2._o slavish_a fear_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o some_o degree_n of_o enmity_n and_o hatred_n against_o god_n it_o be_v natural_a for_o we_o to_o hate_v those_o that_o we_o fear_v with_o a_o slavish_a fear_n he_o that_o think_v god_n will_v certain_o punish_v he_o must_v out_o of_o self-love_n need_v be_v provoke_v to_o hate_n god_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o soul_n that_o lie_v under_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n wish_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o hell_n and_o eternal_a damnation_n nay_o that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o inflict_v this_o upon_o it_o this_o proceed_v from_o this_o slavish_a fear_n of_o god_n but_o now_o a_o reverend_a fear_n of_o god_n be_v join_v with_o a_o holy_a love_n as_o child_n who_o love_v their_o parent_n but_o yet_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o they_o so_o much_o for_o the_o concomitant_n of_o this_o fear_n effect_n 2._o they_o differ_v in_o their_o effect_n second_o for_o their_o effect_n and_o that_o both_o as_o to_o sin_n and_o as_o to_o duty_n 1._o as_o to_o sin_n sin_n 1._o as_o to_o sin_n slavish_a fear_n dread_v nothing_o but_o hell_n and_o punishment_n but_o godly_a fear_n dread_v sin_n itself_o the_o one_o fear_n only_o to_o burn_v the_o other_o fear_n for_o to_o sin_n as_o austin_n say_v well_o he_o fear_v hell_n only_o who_o fear_v not_o to_o sin_n but_o fear_n to_o burn_v but_o he_o fear_v to_o sin_n who_o hate_v sin_n as_o he_o will_v hate_v hell_n 2._o slavish_a fear_n usual_o restrain_v only_o from_o external_a and_o those_o also_o the_o more_o gross_a and_o notorious_a act_n of_o sin_n but_o holy_a fear_v over-awes_a the_o heart_n from_o inward_a and_o secret_a sin_n yea_o from_o the_o least_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o then_o as_o for_o duty_n also_o duty_n 2._o as_o to_o duty_n in_o two_o thing_n brief_o first_o a_o slavish_a fear_n of_o god_n make_v man_n to_o consult_v how_o they_o may_v fly_v from_o god_n as_o adam_n do_v when_o he_o have_v bring_v gild_n upon_o his_o conscience_n by_o his_o fall_n he_o hide_v himself_o from_o god_n in_o the_o garden_n gild_n love_v not_o the_o presence_n of_o its_o judge_n but_o godly_a fear_n be_v still_o exciting_a the_o soul_n to_o approach_v near_o to_o god_n in_o duty_n and_o therefore_o david_n say_v psal_n 5.7_o in_o thy_o fear_n will_v i_o worship_v towards_o thy_o holy_a temple_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n encourage_v the_o soul_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n second_o slavish_a fear_n content_v itself_o with_o external_a performance_n just_o so_o much_o as_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n to_o satisfy_v the_o demand_n of_o conscience_n but_o holy_a fear_n sanctify_v the_o lord_n in_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o satisfy_v conscience_n and_o therefore_o you_o have_v it_o in_o isa_n 8.13_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o let_v he_o be_v your_o fear_n and_o your_o dread_a thus_o much_o brief_o for_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o filial_a and_o slavish_a fear_n use_v 1_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o application_n and_o the_o first_o use_n shall_v be_v by_o way_n of_o corollary_n if_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n as_o a_o consume_a fire_n ought_v to_o affect_v the_o most_o assure_a christian_a with_o a_o holy_a fear_n and_o dread_a of_o god_n how_o much_o more_o than_o may_v it_o shrink_v and_o shrivel_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o ungodly_a sinner_n if_o it_o make_v god_n own_o child_n to_o tremble_v to_o look_v into_o hell_n and_o to_o see_v those_o heap_n of_o miserable_a wretch_n that_o be_v there_o burn_v for_o ever_o shall_v it_o not_o much_o more_o make_v you_o to_o tremble_v who_o be_v liable_a every_o moment_n to_o be_v bind_v in_o bundle_n and_o to_o be_v cast_v in_o to_o burn_v among_o they_o when_o a_o city_n be_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v terrible_a to_o see_v it_o rage_n afar_o off_o to_o see_v it_o spew_v up_o smoke_n and_o flame_n though_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o it_o be_v inhuman_a but_o he_o be_v more_o than_o stupid_a that_o do_v not_o tremble_v to_o see_v it_o devour_v whole_a street_n before_o it_o ruine_v all_o till_o it_o approach_v near_o his_o own_o dwelling_n why_o sir_n this_o consume_a fire_n have_v already_o seize_v upon_o million_o of_o other_o and_o burn_v they_o down_o into_o the_o low_a hell_n do_v not_o you_o hear_v dives_n in_o the_o gospel_n cry_v fire_n fire_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v already_o burn_v down_o and_o if_o their_o case_n make_v not_o your_o heart_n to_o shake_v and_o tremble_v yet_o methinks_v your_o own_o shall_v this_o fire_n be_v catch_v and_o kindle_v upon_o your_o soul_n and_o the_o next_o moment_n may_v make_v you_o brand_v in_o hell_n but_o alas_o what_o hope_n be_v there_o to_o affright_v man_n that_o be_v fast_o asleep_a such_o a_o dead_a security_n have_v seize_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o most_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a to_o rouse_v they_o and_o but_o little_a hope_n but_o that_o they_o will_v be_v burn_v in_o this_o their_o sleep_n yet_o if_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a to_o awaken_v you_o consider_v saint_n 1._o god_n wrath_n against_o sinner_n make_v he_o terrible_a to_o his_o saint_n first_o that_o it_o be_v only_a god_n wrath_n
