here_o to_o they_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o may_v have_v spare_v this_o dehortation_n from_o fear_n for_o certain_o those_o who_o do_v not_o fear_v who_o dare_v provoke_v the_o anger_n and_o detestation_n of_o the_o almighty_a by_o their_o imprecation_n and_o foolish_a oath_n can_v fear_v the_o weak_a weak_a effort_n of_o mortal_a man_n can_v any_o man_n be_v more_o dare_a than_o he_o who_o call_v

and_o everlasting_a torment_n and_o as_o the_o fear_n to_o offend_v god_n by_o disobey_v his_o command_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n that_o wisdom_n which_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v will_v make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n so_o also_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o fortitude_n it_o be_v that_o which_o lay_v the_o sure_a foundation_n of_o courage_n for_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a that_o he_o that_o do_v not_o fear_n god_n shall_v be_v fearless_a of_o man_n there_o may_v be_v other_o motive_n indeed_o which_o may_v oblige_v a_o man_n not_o to_o misbehave_v himself_o or_o play_v the_o coward_n such_o as_o honour_n duty_n and_o interest_n but_o these_o be_v accidental_a and_o from_o without_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o he_o fear_v god_n his_o courage_n be_v raise_v from_o a_o noble_a principle_n danger_n become_v insignificant_a death_n have_v lose_v its_o terror_n because_o his_o passage_n out_o of_o this_o life_n be_v but_o to_o a_o

thither_o will_v prove_v far_o easy_o by_o a_o sword_n or_o bullet_n than_o by_o the_o linger_a death_n of_o the_o gout_n or_o stone_n or_o by_o the_o acute_a disease_n of_o a_o burn_a and_o rage_a fever_n and_o now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o nature_n and_o cause_n of_o fearfulness_n and_o show_v how_o little_a reason_n any_o man_n have_v to_o fear_v who_o be_v engage_v in_o this_o honourable_a undertake_n it_o be_v a_o infirmity_n incident_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o fear_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o corruptible_a flesh_n we_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o passion_n the_o stoic_n indeed_o with_o insensibility_n enough_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a but_o their_o opinion_n have_v be_v sufficient_o deride_v and_o explode_v yet_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a courage_n in_o some_o man_n have_v make_v the_o same_o difficulty_n easy_o superable_a by_o they_o which_o other_o have_v tremble_v at_o use_v and_o custom_n which_o be_v a_o second_o and_o more_o powerful_a nature_n make_v man_n gain_v so_o full_a a_o mastery_n over_o fear_n that_o they_o willing_o undertake_v and_o easy_o perform_v the_o most_o dangerous_a

have_v have_v little_a or_o no_o experience_n animate_v by_o your_o example_n will_v attempt_v to_o equal_v if_o not_o out_o do_v the_o pattern_n you_o shall_v set_v they_o it_o may_v not_o perhaps_o
