be_v as_o it_o be_v jacobs_n ladder_n whereby_o the_o angel_n of_o divine_a consolation_n descend_v upon_o we_o on_o earth_n and_o our_o holy_a prayer_n and_o religious_a thought_n and_o meditation_n ascend_v unto_o heaven_n this_o ladder_n have_v three_o principal_a step_n as_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v we_o ascend_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v our_o wisdom_n for_o through_o and_o by_o god_n he_o have_v make_v we_o wisdom_n 1._o cor._n 1.30_o jesus_n christ_n lead_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n and_o god_n receive_v and_o lodge_v we_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o we_o first_o fear_v he_o if_o ever_o we_o hope_v or_o think_v to_o enter_v into_o his_o favour_n this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o head_n spring_n and_o fountain_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v and_o exhaust_v the_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o david_n tell_v we_o in_o formal_a and_o express_a term_n that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n psal_n 111.10_o thereby_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o this_o knowledge_n and_o learning_n whereof_o man_n vaunt_v and_o glory_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o pure_a folly_n if_o it_o derive_v not_o his_o origen_n or_o beginning_n from_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o fear_n be_v here_o take_v for_o the_o principle_n of_o wisdom_n and_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o in_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n have_v assume_v and_o take_v the_o title_n of_o wisdom_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o former_a allege_a chapter_n of_o 1._o cor._n 1.30_o but_o in_o the_o book_n of_o genes_n chap._n 31.42_o he_o himself_o be_v by_o moses_n call_v the_o fear_n of_o isaac_n except_o the_o god_n of_o my_o father_n the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o isaac_n have_v be_v with_o i_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o away_o empty_a but_o here_o the_o best_a interpreter_n by_o this_o fear_n of_o isaac_n do_v understand_v the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n who_o have_v not_o yet_o assume_v and_o clothe_v our_o humane_a nature_n and_o of_o who_o isaac_n be_v the_o true_a type_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a question_n of_o saint_n augustine_n in_o his_o city_n of_o god_n that_o be_v if_o this_o filial_a fear_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o faithful_a child_n of_o the_o lord_n remain_v with_o they_o in_o heaven_n yea_o or_o no_o those_o who_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a fortify_v themselves_o from_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n chap._n 4._o ver_fw-la 18._o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n because_o fear_n have_v torment_n and_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o make_v perfect_a in_o love_n from_o whence_o they_o argue_v where_o there_o be_v perfect_a love_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n but_o among_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v perfect_a love_n therefore_o among_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n and_o from_o the_o same_o place_n and_o passage_n of_o saint_n john_n they_o derive_v and_o draw_v another_o argument_n thus_o all_o fear_n be_v accompany_v with_o torment_n but_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o torment_n therefore_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n they_o say_v moreover_o that_o this_o fear_n shall_v then_o deprive_v they_o of_o their_o rest_n and_o repose_v and_o consequent_o that_o they_o can_v not_o enjoy_v a_o perfect_a felicity_n while_o they_o be_v trouble_v and_o torment_v with_o any_o apprehension_n or_o fear_n other_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n understand_v not_o to_o speak_v there_o of_o a_o chaste_a and_o filial_a but_o of_o a_o servile_a fear_n and_o to_o fortify_v and_o support_v their_o opinion_n they_o allege_v the_o psal_n 19.9_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v clean_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o saint_n augustine_n expound_v this_o sort_n of_o fear_n say_v non_fw-la enim_fw-la est_fw-la timor_fw-la exterrens_fw-la à _fw-la malo_fw-la quod_fw-la accidere_fw-la potest_fw-la sed_fw-la tenens_fw-la in_fw-la bono_fw-mi quod_fw-la amitti_fw-la non_fw-la potest_fw-la this_o kind_n of_o fear_n make_v we_o not_o apprehend_v any_o evil_n which_o can_v befall_v we_o but_o make_v we_o so_o to_o keep_v fast_o good_a that_o we_o may_v not_o lose_v it_o and_o afterward_o he_o again_o add_v timoris_fw-la casti_fw-la nomine_fw-la ea_fw-la voluntas_fw-la significata_fw-la est_fw-la quo_fw-la nos_fw-la necesse_fw-la erit_fw-la nolle_fw-la peceare_a non_fw-la solicitudine_fw-la necessitatis_fw-la sed_fw-la tranquillitate_fw-la charitatis_fw-la he_o say_v that_o by_o this_o name_n of_o chaste_a fear_n be_v signify_v the_o will_n whereby_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o will_v not_o sin_n not_o for_o the_o care_n of_o necessity_n but_o for_o the_o tranquillity_n of_o charity_n he_o than_o conclude_v that_o indeed_o servile_a fear_n can_v enter_v into_o heaven_n but_o only_o the_o filial_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o must_v be_v after_o it_o have_v lose_v the_o effect_n which_o it_o produce_v in_o this_o present_a life_n to_o wit_n this_o natural_a apprehension_n whereby_o she_o fear_v that_o the_o soul_n fall_v from_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n no_o no_o this_o fear_n in_o heaven_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o perfect_a reverence_n honour_n and_o piety_n and_o a_o full_a and_o absolute_a devotion_n which_o we_o shall_v bear_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n whereby_o every_o one_o see_v the_o divine_a majesty_n shall_v profound_o and_o perfect_o study_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o in_o all_o reverence_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v why_o the_o 70._o interpreter_n have_v turn_v timorem_fw-la dei_fw-la the_o fear_n of_o god_n into_o this_o
