Thare is as much as depulsor or abactor saies the father Thare signifieth properly a driuer away there is vt caetera non possint timeri or in the words of the Psalmist no feare what man can Psal 56. 4 doe vnto me Thou shalt be feared I but how S. Ambrose here that our feare may be according Rom. 10. 2. to knowledg too giues a Scio to it we must know saith he that aliud est timere quia peccaueris aliud timere ne pecces One thing it is saies Ambrose to feare God onely because we sinne another not to sinne against God because we feare The first is from the earth earthly when we feare only because we sinne when we haue that low earthly respect only to our selues The second is from 1. Cor. 15. 47. heauen heauenly as we say in the order for Buriall when we will not sinne because we feare when we consider him that is in the heauens only and his glory Psal 8. 3. Time ne pecces there is feare volley feare aboue line feare that neuer touches the ground time quia peccaueris that is feare onely at the rebound neuer without some fault before it Time ne pecces there is feare like the first Myrrhe in the canticles that flowes of its owne inclination freely time quia peccaueris that is feare only like the second Myrrhe that flowes indeed saies the Naturalist but not before incision it must smart first Time ne pecces there is stand in awe and sinne not in Psal 4. 4. the Psalme the Prophet Dauids feare feare that is the preservatiue against sinne time quia peccaueris that 's only if thou doest euill then feare in th' Apostle S. Paules Rom. 13. 4. feare feare that is the playster after it Now fraile and feeble though our nature be let vs bid for time ne pecces as much as we can Let vs endeauour that let vs not take away the first if we can helpe it But howsoeuer let vs establish the second Heb. 10. let vs not Heb. 10. 9. passe by time quia peccaveris be sure of that Fac fac cries S. Augustine doe it man doe it any way which way thou wilt so one Time ne pecces if it be possible this indeed you ought to haue done venture for this a litle but howsoeuer time quia peccaueris by all manner meanes and not leaue this vndone 23. Mat. Mat. 23. ●3 doe not passe by this There are that delight themselues in obseruing a composition in the soule like to that in the body they compare our Hope in God hope which is yet onely happinesse in the egge as S. Augustine calls it they compare the Christian mans hope I say to the liuer the shop and storehouse of bloud so Clemens Alexandrinus calls a Christians hope Sanguinem fidei the bloud of his faith because as that hope wasteth so his very faith the vitall part of his religion doth decay Now as Hope is the liuer of the Soule So say they is Feare the lunges of the Soule which cooles and fanns it euer and anon and keeps Faith in a good temper which else would be subiect to strange heats and passions were it not for this cooler feare I doe bring you to your Puerilis I doe teach you like litle children thus the Psal 34. 11. feare of the Lord because I know not how but so it is this duty of feare is much of late minished from among the Psal 12. 1. children of men Men are growne me thinks as if they were afraid to feare All their feare is struck inward and gone to the heart and it is to be feared there is not so much charitie residing there as will foras mittere timorem 1. Iohn 4. 18. as will driue out this feare againe either into the legge or knee or any other part of the body where it may bee discerned The timearis of the text is not meant of any such invisible seruice Will you see it is not Looke vpon the Chalde Paraphrast the word there for timearis is videaris and so a visible feare it should be or it is not right To audivimus in the Psalme Psal 47. 9. the Prophet ioyneth vidimus So doe we Like as we haue Hear'd for heare it wee may from every man It is every mans Song that who will not feare thee O God Apoc. 15. 4. as well as Moses and the Lambes so that Heare it without doubt we may but I wish I might adde So haue wee Seene also for the world will but partly 1. Cor. 11. 18. beleiue it so long as in our ordinary service and worship of almighty God there is so little or no signe at all of it to be seene It is abscondita Deo nostro right Deuter. 29. 29. Hidden things belong vnto God Our feare I am sure our manner of worship is so hidden both as if God required that too only in the inward parts Psal 51. 5. As for outward worship it is better spar'd then spent At the best it is hitt or misse with vs fast or loose chuse you whether and euen in this sence too is his service perfect freedome The Guest in the Gospell was cast into Hell fire but for his very garment 'T was not his inward demurenesse could saue him from outward darknesse Now.

O yee of so great faith I will conclude With my body I thee worship is not only the office and duty of the man vnto the woman when by that magnum sacramentum which the Apostle speaks of they two are made one flesh Gen. 2. 24. in Matrimony Ego autem dico de Christo ecclesia with St Paule Ephes 5. I speak of Christ and the Church I say They both Ephes 5. 32. require it and therefore as we looke to haue our bodies to be raysed in glory when they shall enter into Ioy let vs sowe them first in this dishonour let vs fall downe with 1. Cor. 15. 43. them and worship when we come before him in true reverence and feare Scientes igitur timorem hunc Domini as the Apostle in the 2. Cor. 5. 11. Knowing The Cause therefore this feare of the Lord that is knowing now that thou art to be feared It behooueth vs in the next place cogn●scere causas to enquire after the cause to looke into the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the quia of this timearis what that should be Assure our selues we may that one there is It is not numquid gratis as the Diuell said of Job what doe you thinke that we feare God for nought truly no.
