pleasure_n and_o honour_n fall_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o fear_n most_o pernicious_a &_o most_o far_o from_o all_o piety_n the_o second_o be_v a_o servile_a fear_n which_o we_o before_o have_v describe_v the_o three_o be_v a_o initial_a fear_n that_o be_v a_o fear_n that_o serve_v at_o beginning_n whereby_o man_n be_v so_o move_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o pain_n that_o together_o therewithal_o also_o they_o have_v a_o regard_n unto_o god_n and_o be_v take_v with_o a_o certain_a love_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o will_n this_o fear_n by_o his_o sentence_n be_v mingle_v both_o with_o a_o servile_a and_o also_o a_o filial_a fear_n last_o of_o all_o he_o join_v that_o pure_a filial_a fear_n the_o schoolman_n have_v add_v the_o fifte_a fear_n fear_n with_o perfect_a charity_n but_o the_o schoolman_n which_o follow_v the_o master_n of_o the_o sentence_n that_o they_o also_o may_v somewhat_o add_v of_o their_o own_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o other_o

that_o i_o have_v brief_o and_o faithful_o declare_v these_o thing_n out_o of_o augustine_n out_o of_o the_o master_n of_o the_o sentence_n and_o out_o of_o the_o schoolman_n i_o will_v in_o few_o word_n set_v forth_o what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v touch_v they_o first_o i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v more_o than_o one_o kind_n of_o fear_n for_o i_o know_v that_o peter_n fear_v otherwise_o then_o do_v judas_n faith_n peter_n and_o judas_n fear_v diverse_o a_o true_a distinction_n of_o servile_a and_o filial_a fear_n in_o godly_a man_n fear_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o faith_n as_o the_o law_n be_v join_v with_o the_o gosple_n so_o be_v fear_n with_o faith_n for_o judas_n in_o deed_n so_o fear_v that_o he_o despair_v but_o peter_n so_o fear_v that_o he_o get_v he_o again_o unto_o christ_n who_o before_o by_o deny_v he_o have_v forsake_v wherefore_o we_o say_v that_o a_o servile_a fear_n be_v whereby_o we_o so_o abhor_v god_n be_v angry_a and_o fly_v from_o he_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o faith_n but_o a_o filial_a fear_n be_v whereby_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o terror_n we_o be_v lift_v up_o through_o faith_n ▪_o neither_o suffer_v we_o ourselves_o to_o be_v swallow_v up_o with_o fear_n wherefore_o in_o godly_a man_n fear_n be_v never_o sejoin_v from_o faith_n for_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v so_o to_o be_v knit_v together_o that_o faith_n always_o

it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v pull_v away_o or_o separate_v from_o their_o effect_n but_o faith_n be_v separate_v from_o justification_n for_o many_o that_o believe_v
