a30211	A treatise of the fear of God shewing what it is, and how distinguished from that what is not so : also whence it comes, who has it, what are the effects, and what the priviledges of those that have it in their hearts / by John Bunyan.

that_o arise_v from_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o revengeful_a spirit_n upon_o perhaps_o the_o man_n that_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o himself_o but_o suppose_v he_o be_v a_o sinner_n that_o be_v the_o object_n of_o thy_o envy_n why_o the_o text_n set_v that_o envy_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n envy_v not_o sinner_n but_o be_v thou_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n these_o two_o therefore_o to_o wit_n envy_n to_o sinner_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n be_v opposite_n thou_o can_v not_o fear_v god_n and_o envy_v sinner_n too_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o

a_o good_a spirit_n nor_o can_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n grow_v in_o his_o heart_n last_o will_v thou_o grow_v in_o this_o grace_n of_o fear_n then_o take_v heed_n of_o harden_v thy_o heart_n at_o

3._o the_o soul_n fear_v damnation_n right_o now_o because_o by_o sin_n the_o law_n and_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o it_o but_o now_o although_o thus_o far_o
