only_o no_o crime_n at_o all_o to_o fear_v he_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o divinity_n our_o fear_n because_o arise_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o they_o be_v a_o

unchangeableness_n of_o his_o decree_n then_o and_o then_o only_o do_v our_o fear_n become_v criminal_a when_o it_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o no_o other_o than_o a_o tyrant_n or_o as_o one_o that_o will_v call_v we_o to_o a_o account_n for_o every_o trifle_n for_o that_o instead_o of_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o our_o god_n attribute_v to_o he_o peevishness_n or_o cruelty_n and_o make_v we_o not_o so_o much_o adorer_n as_o dishonourer_n of_o he_o and_o according_o as_o wherever_o religion_n have_v have_v any_o place_n this_o fear_n have_v be_v brand_v under_o the_o name_n of_o superstition_n

excellent_a distinction_n which_o maximus_n tyrius_n 4._o tyrius_n dissert_n 4._o make_v between_o a_o true_o religious_a man_n and_o a_o superstitious_a one_o the_o pious_a man_n say_v he_o be_v

and_o confidence_n and_o dread_v the_o god_n as_o so_o many_o tyrant_n from_o which_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a what_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o superstition_n be_v even_o the_o fear_v of_o god_n as_o a_o tyrant_n or_o peevish_a lord_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v have_v place_n as_o well_o in_o the_o rejection_n of_o religious_a rite_n as_o in_o a_o overcurious_a intention_n of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o observation_n of_o these_o become_v superstitious_a by_o our_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o rigid_a exacter_n of_o they_o so_o the_o rejection_n of_o they_o may_v become_v equal_o such_o when_o we_o think_v he_o as_o much_o concern_v to_o forbid_v they_o as_o we_o be_v to_o avoid_v the_o use_n of_o they_o but_o other_o fear_n than_o this_o as_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v criminal_a that_o it_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a a_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n power_n and_o justice_n and_o truth_n so_o though_o it_o make_v we_o draw_v back_o from_o he_o as_o a_o judge_n yet_o it_o put_v we_o upon_o seek_v to_o he_o as_o a_o father_n and_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o obtain_v his_o favour_n which_o say_v i_o will_v now_o descend_v to_o show_v 3._o the_o consistency_n of_o this_o fear_n with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o three_o thing_n propose_v to_o be_v discourse_v of_o for_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v but_o congruous_a to_o the_o law_n which_o be_v a_o state_n of_o darkness_n and_o horror_n to_o be_v attend_v with_o that_o fear_n which_o be_v the_o usual_a product_n or_o concomitant_a of_o they_o yet_o it_o may_v seem_v no_o less_o congruous_a on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o when_o the_o bright_a sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n appear_v that_o gloominess_n shall_v disappear_v and_o together_o with_o it_o its_o congenial_a fear_n for_o the_o solution_n of_o which_o difficulty_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v offer_v be_v those_o clear_a and_o express_v word_n of_o our_o saviour_n luke_n 12.5_o where_o have_v before_o dehort_v his_o disciple_n from_o be_v afraid_a of_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o after_o that_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o passion_n to_o be_v useless_a he_o add_v but_o i_o will_v forewarn_v you_o who_o you_o shall_v fear_v fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o which_o testimony_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o considerable_a not_o only_o because_o he_o do_v twice_o repeat_v it_o but_o which_o show_v yet_o far_o the_o importance_n of_o his_o exhortation_n who_o he_o do_v so_o exhort_v call_v also_o by_o the_o name_n of_o friend_n for_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o my_o friend_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o fear_v he_o which_o have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n which_o appellation_n show_v evident_o that_o this_o precept_n of_o fear_n be_v not_o only_o for_o servant_n or_o alien_n but_o for_o those_o who_o be_v most_o intimate_o unite_v unto_o himself_o but_o so_o that_o i_o may_v not_o dwell_v too_o long_o upon_o a_o thing_n so_o evident_a do_v the_o apostle_n of_o that_o lord_n advise_v as_o well_o as_o the_o lord_n himself_o s._n paul_n phil._n 2.12_o exhort_v man_n to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n c._n 12.28_o to_o have_v grace_n whereby_o to_o serve_v god_n acceptable_o with_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n because_o god_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n in_o which_o latter_a place_n we_o have_v it_o over_o and_o above_o represent_v as_o a_o effect_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o requisite_a to_o make_v our_o service_n acceptable_a now_o though_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a what_o we_o be_v to_o think_v in_o this_o particular_a and_o consequent_o rather_o to_o believe_v that_o something_o else_o must_v be_v mean_v by_o those_o say_n which_o seem_v to_o contradict_v it_o than_o that_o this_o fear_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o for_o the_o better_a explication_n of_o this_o fear_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o solution_n of_o those_o difficulty_n i_o will_v now_o propose_v they_o or_o at_o least_o that_o which_o be_v most_o considerable_a if_o you_o please_v to_o peruse_v the_o first_o epistle_n of_o s._n john_n the_o four_o chapter_n and_o the_o eighteen_o verse_n you_o will_v there_o find_v that_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o that_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n because_o fear_n have_v torment_n as_o moreover_o that_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o make_v perfect_a in_o love_n for_o the_o answer_n of_o which_o difficulty_n not_o to_o say_v as_o some_o have_v do_v that_o by_o fear_n in_o that_o place_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o fear_n of_o man_n and_o of_o the_o evil_n which_o they_o may_v bring_v upon_o we_o because_o the_o perfect_a love_n to_o which_o fear_n be_v here_o oppose_v be_v refer_v to_o our_o have_a boldness_n to_o stand_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o which_o therefore_o in_o all_o reason_n the_o opposite_a fear_n ought_v to_o relate_v i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v true_a perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n but_o i_o say_v withal_o that_o in_o this_o world_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o perfect_a love_n and_o therefore_o fear_v not_o to_o be_v eject_v till_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o this_o very_a apostle_n may_v seem_v to_o refer_v to_o when_o in_o the_o word_n before_o these_o he_o affirm_v that_o herein_o be_v our_o love_n make_v perfect_a that_o we_o may_v have_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n make_v that_o perfect_a love_n to_o appertain_v not_o to_o the_o present_a time_n but_o to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n wherein_o indeed_o those_o that_o love_n god_n shall_v neither_o fear_v nor_o have_v any_o cause_n for_o it_o but_o let_v we_o suppose_v as_o there_o be_v some_o presumption_n for_o it_o that_o the_o perfect_a love_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o that_o love_n which_o be_v the_o peculiar_a portion_n of_o the_o next_o world_n but_o which_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o yet_o even_o so_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o cast_v out_o that_o fear_n for_o which_o we_o be_v now_o plead_v for_o as_o be_v before_o observe_v there_o be_v a_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o tyrant_n or_o at_o least_o a_o very_a hard_a master_n and_o another_o of_o a_o father_n and_o a_o king_n but_o withal_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o

if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n fear_v in_o the_o former_a sense_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o tyrant_n or_o a_o hard_a master_n so_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o love_n cast_v it_o out_o especial_o a_o evangelical_n one_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v love_v god_n or_o willing_o keep_v his_o commandment_n who_o have_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o he_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v affirm_v of_o he_o who_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o lord_n and_o a_o father_n but_o withal_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o for_o beside_o that_o such_o a_o fear_n be_v enjoin_v we_o by_o he_o who_o do_v also_o lay_v upon_o we_o the_o command_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v think_v unless_o we_o will_v make_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n contradict_v itself_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o that_o love_n which_o he_o require_v there_o be_v nothing_o of_o torment_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n here_o assign_v if_o in_o our_o fear_n we_o look_v upon_o god_n but_o as_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o for_o though_o that_o may_v make_v we_o careful_a and_o wary_a yet_o not_o distress_v and_o desperate_a the_o consideration_n of_o his_o goodness_n buoy_v we_o up_o when_o we_o be_v surround_v with_o his_o judgement_n and_o make_v we_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o have_v a_o apprehension_n of_o they_o to_o look_v up_o to_o his_o mercy_n and_o to_o love_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o they_o the_o same_o answer_n with_o a_o very_a little_a variation_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o that_o difference_n which_o be_v object_v between_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o law_n for_o though_o the_o gospel_n reckon_v we_o not_o in_o the_o place_n of_o servant_n and_o vassal_n and_o consequent_o exact_v not_o their_o fear_n of_o we_o yet_o it_o reckon_v we_o in_o the_o place_n of_o son_n who_o be_v not_o only_o to_o have_v a_o love_n but_o a_o fear_n also_o for_o he_o that_o be_v their_o parent_n which_o answer_n be_v the_o more_o reasonable_a because_o the_o scripture_n itself_o represent_v those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o first_o covenant_n as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o such_o as_o be_v therefore_o slave_n themselves_o but_o those_o under_o the_o second_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o free_a to_o who_o therefore_o though_o it_o do_v no_o way_n appertain_v to_o entertain_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o those_o fear_n wherewith_o it_o be_v accompany_v yet_o to_o preserve_v such_o a_o reverential_a regard_n for_o the_o almighty_a as_o be_v due_a unto_o every_o father_n and_o much_o more_o to_o their_o heavenly_a one_o 4._o the_o four_o particular_a follow_v even_o the_o usefulness_n of_o that_o fear_n of_o which_o we_o be_v now_o entreat_v which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o evince_v 1._o first_o as_o to_o the_o bring_v we_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o 2._o as_o to_o our_o continuance_n in_o that_o state_n 1._o now_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o judgement_n be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o unto_o christ_n may_v appear_v from_o that_o great_a contrariety_n that_o be_v between_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v suppose_v as_o it_o must_v it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o conceive_v man_n shall_v be_v draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n and_o affect_v he_o who_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o their_o inclination_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n may_v be_v of_o more_o force_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o his_o love_n those_o have_v not_o all_o of_o they_o so_o manifest_v a_o contrariety_n to_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n as_o the_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o god_n have_v yet_o as_o many_o of_o they_o be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n and_o so_o not_o very_o likely_a to_o be_v acceptable_a so_o which_o be_v more_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bestow_v or_o at_o least_o not_o with_o any_o certainty_n or_o perfection_n till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o other_o world_n and_o who_o then_o natural_o speak_v will_v quit_v present_a and_o sensual_a enjoyment_n for_o they_o and_o leave_v a_o love_n which_o he_o be_v sure_a of_o for_o so_o uncertain_a and_o remote_a a_o mistress_n to_o induce_v man_n therefore_o to_o quit_v their_o so_o much_o belove_v transgression_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o stir_v up_o their_o fear_n and_o make_v they_o see_v that_o what_o they_o pursue_v will_v rob_v they_o of_o what_o they_o love_v and_o make_v they_o miserable_a as_o well_o in_o their_o body_n as_o their_o soul_n and_o indeed_o as_o it_o rare_o happen_v that_o man_n be_v reclaim_v from_o their_o evil_a course_n but_o by_o some_o such_o disgustful_a mean_n so_o which_o be_v of_o much_o more_o force_n we_o find_v the_o apostle_n take_v this_o course_n in_o convert_v the_o unbelieving_a world_n represent_v to_o they_o first_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n they_o have_v incur_v and_o then_o the_o tender_v of_o god_n goodness_n by_o that_o mean_v not_o only_o abate_v of_o their_o heat_n towards_o

beside_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v of_o singular_a use_n in_o bring_v man_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o god_n it_o be_v also_o such_o after_o our_o conversion_n to_o he_o yea_o throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n and_o here_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o apostle_n persuade_v even_o such_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o exhort_v they_o to_o work_v

consideration_n the_o remain_v of_o that_o evil_a nature_n which_o be_v in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o we_o and_o how_o much_o more_o than_o in_o the_o generality_n of_o believer_n for_o these_o will_v show_v it_o to_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o way_n as_o it_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o into_o it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o grace_n do_v at_o once_o purify_v the_o heart_n from_o all_o extravagancy_n if_o it_o take_v away_o both_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o affection_n to_o they_o last_o if_o it_o put_v we_o into_o the_o condition_n we_o be_v in_o when_o we_o be_v create_v and_o make_v we_o entire_o and_o perfect_o new_a creature_n so_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o our_o leader_n when_o only_o draw_v by_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_o god_n think_v not_o that_o enough_o to_o preserve_v adam_n in_o his_o innocency_n but_o add_v moreover_o the_o terror_n of_o die_v the_o death_n if_o he_o persist_v not_o in_o it_o but_o when_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o though_o sin_n be_v wound_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_o mortify_v when_o there_o be_v remain_v of_o corruption_n in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o we_o who_o can_v think_v even_o the_o regenerate_a man_n to_o be_v so_o good_a nature_a as_o not_o to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o terror_n to_o nip_v those_o bud_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o unrighteousness_n for_o beside_o that_o under_o such_o circumstance_n all_o the_o method_n of_o god_n be_v little_a enough_o to_o restrain_v we_o experience_n show_v that_o of_o fear_n to_o be_v often_o needful_a carelessness_n and_o wantonness_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v we_o forget_v the_o obligation_n of_o goodness_n and_o not_o only_o to_o forget_v but_o to_o despise_v they_o but_o when_o beside_o the_o obligation_n of_o god_n goodness_n man_n have_v always_o before_o their_o eye_n the_o strictness_n of_o his_o justice_n when_o they_o consider_v as_o well_o what_o vengeance_n will_v pursue_v they_o if_o they_o go_v astray_o as_o how_o great_a encouragement_n they_o have_v to_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n which_o god_n

have_v thus_o show_v both_o what_o the_o passion_n of_o fear_n be_v and_o how_o god_n be_v the_o object_n of_o it_o together_o with_o the_o consistency_n of_o that_o fear_n with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o usefulness_n thereof_o both_o in_o our_o conversion_n to_o and_o walk_v with_o god_n i_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v say_v enough_o not_o only_o to_o excite_v that_o

discover_v to_o you_o the_o malignity_n of_o the_o contrary_a vice_n but_o because_o man_n be_v not_o overforward_a to_o apply_v the_o rule_n of_o truth_n to_o their_o own_o obliquity_n and_o by_o

they_o without_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o almighty_a add_v hereunto_o what_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o affirm_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o wisdom_n for_o what_o other_o interpretation_n can_v we_o make_v of_o that_o than_o that_o heavenly_a wisdom_n must_v enter_v by_o that_o passion_n and_o man_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o sense_n of_o

shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o their_o temporal_a one_o concern_v which_o i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v to_o affirm_v that_o he_o who_o be_v thus_o regardless_o of_o god_n displeasure_n be_v the_o most_o likely_a to_o fall_v under_o the_o stroke_n of_o it_o for_o not_o to_o tell_v such_o person_n what_o the_o psalmist_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o according_a to_o our_o fear_n so_o

the_o world_n he_o do_v indeed_o speak_v glorious_o of_o his_o own_o power_n and_o majesty_n he_o look_v big_a and_o threaten_v severe_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v but_o dare_v to_o oppose_v but_o as_o such_o big_a look_n and_o bugbear_n word_n do_v not_o much_o startle_v the_o carnal_o secure_a so_o he_o will_v put_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n whether_o the_o effect_n will_v answer_v they_o and_o

benevolence_n in_o proper_a speech_n be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o our_o love_n to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o it_o than_o any_o real_a part_n of_o it_o 2._o the_o nature_n of_o love_n

such_o as_o be_v good_a to_o we_o of_o the_o former_a sort_n be_v that_o love_n which_o we_o have_v for_o all_o virtuous_a and_o excellent_a person_n how_o little_a soever_o we_o ourselves_o may_v

be_v benefit_v by_o they_o in_o our_o own_o person_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o excellency_n we_o hear_v of_o in_o they_o we_o conceive_v a_o love_n for_o they_o and_o never_o think_v of_o they_o without_o complacency_n and_o delight_n the_o same_o love_n we_o have_v for_o all_o beautiful_a object_n of_o nature_n make_v and_o for_o all_o such_o like_a product_n of_o art_n these_o to_o
