more_o zeal_n and_o life_n in_o god_n service_n be_v their_o own_o fault_n for_o which_o they_o be_v great_o to_o be_v blame_v because_o this_o dulness_n of_o spirit_n that_o attend_v their_o

proceed_v to_o further_a degree_n of_o perfection_n yet_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o as_o harden_a sinner_n who_o have_v little_a four_o of_o god_n and_o no_o regard_n of_o their_o duty_n do_v certain_o grow_v worse_o by_o their_o contempt_n and_o neglect_n of_o these_o opportunity_n so_o also_o that_o diverse_a good_a christian_n but_o of_o timorous_a and_o melancholy_a constitution_n do_v

more_o common_o so_o more_o violent_o use_v to_o disorder_n and_o affright_v they_o and_o shall_v give_v the_o most_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o they_o that_o i_o can_v 1._o the_o first_o case_n be_v of_o those_o who_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o reformation_n of_o their_o lites_n have_v not_o proceed_v from_o a_o sincere_a love_n of_o god_n and_o a_o unwillingness_n to_o displease_v he_o but_o from_o a_o mere_a dread_n of_o those_o punishment_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v 2._o the_o second_o case_n relate_v to_o they_o who_o find_v a_o flatness_n on_o their_o mind_n and_o want_v of_o zeal_n when_o they_o apply_v themselves_o to_o any_o religious_a duty_n which_o make_v they_o fear_n that_o what_o they_o do_v be_v so_o defective_a and_o unfit_a to_o be_v present_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o accept_v it_o insomuch_o that_o this_o coldness_n when_o they_o be_v employ_v in_o their_o devotion_n do_v lamentable_o deject_v they_o and_o even_o tempt_v they_o to_o lay_v the_o practice_n of_o they_o aside_o 3._o the_o three_o case_n do_v concern_v those_o unhappy_a person_n who_o have_v naughty_a and_o sometime_o blasphemous_a thought_n start_v up_o in_o their_o mind_n while_o they_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o make_v ready_a to_o charge_v themselves_o with_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o pronounce_v their_o condition_n to_o be_v without_o hope_n of_o remedy_n and_o that_o god_n have_v utter_o cast_v they_o off_o 1._o i_o begin_v with_o those_o person_n who_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o reformation_n of_o their_o life_n have_v not_o proceed_v from_o a_o sincere_a love_n of_o god_n and_o a_o unwillingness_n to_o offend_v he_o but_o from_o a_o mere_a dread_n of_o those_o punishment_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v to_o inflict_v on_o unrelenting_a sinner_n their_o doubt_n be_v that_o fear_n which_o have_v have_v the_o great_a influence_n in_o reclaim_v they_o from_o a_o ill_a life_n be_v but_o a_o slavish_a and_o sordid_a passion_n which_o god_n do_v despise_v and_o that_o he_o will_v refuse_v all_o those_o service_n which_o do_v not_o spring_v from_o a_o noble_a principle_n for_o see_v god_n be_v love_n he_o will_v not_o be_v please_v with_o any_o sacrifice_n but_o what_o be_v offer_v by_o love_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o question_n but_o love_n be_v a_o more_o noble_a principle_n of_o action_n than_o fear_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o religious_a service_n which_o have_v its_o rise_n from_o love_n be_v more_o perfect_a more_o angelical_a and_o more_o grateful_a to_o god_n but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o will_v not_o turn_v aside_o his_o face_n from_o those_o weak_a and_o less_o improve_v servant_n of_o he_o who_o service_n and_o obedience_n owe_v themselves_o chief_o to_o their_o fear_n they_o who_o have_v forsake_v their_o evil_a way_n out_o of_o a_o horrible_a dread_n that_o they_o will_v lead_v they_o to_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n will_n it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v find_v a_o place_n in_o the_o glorious_a kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o hell_n be_v make_v on_o purpose_n to_o terrify_v dare_v sinner_n and_o to_o reduce_v and_o confine_v they_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o their_o duty_n the_o thing_n than_o i_o affirm_v be_v this_o that_o they_o who_o have_v depart_v from_o their_o iniquity_n out_o of_o fear_n that_o have_v they_o continue_v in_o they_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v condemn_v to_o dwell_v with_o everlasting_a burn_n will_v at_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n be_v allow_v to_o have_v be_v true_a penitent_n who_o god_n will_v set_v on_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o receive_v into_o the_o bright_a mansion_n of_o infinite_a happiness_n which_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o fear_n be_v one_o of_o the_o passion_n god_n have_v plant_v in_o our_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o love_n they_o be_v both_o the_o creature_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o whatever_o he_o do_v put_v in_o we_o be_v for_o some_o end_n and_o may_v have_v a_o good_a use_n wherefore_o when_o the_o passion_n of_o fear_n do_v serve_v the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n graft_v it_o in_o our_o mind_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v approve_v the_o good_a effect_n which_o it_o do_v produce_v now_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n place_v fear_n in_o our_o
