therefore_o as_o s._n john_n say_v he_o can_v love_v god_n which_o be_v have_v not_o see_v that_o love_v not_o his_o neighbour_n which_o he_o see_v so_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o fear_n god_n who_o

perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n and_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o make_v perfect_a in_o love_n therefore_o these_o perfect_a saint_n that_o râ—b_v their_o neighbour_n kill_v their_o brethren_n and_o fight_v against_o their_o king_n for_o the_o great_a love_n they_o bear_v to_o god_n and_o because_o the_o king_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v what_o they_o listen_v they_o need_v not_o fear_v god_n wrath_n nor_o be_v afraid_a of_o his_o judgement_n i_o answer_v sol._n that_o some_o divine_n say_v the_o true_a love_n of_o god_n cast_v out_o the_o servil-fear_a which_o be_v only_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n but_o do_v not_o cast_v out_o the_o filial_a reverence_n and_o the_o awful_a fear_n of_o lose_v god_n favour_n but_o i_o think_v rather_o the_o time_n be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v and_o not_o the_o fear_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v 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 and_o then_o add_v that_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n but_o our_o love_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v perfect_a until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n we_o may_v strive_v and_o labour_v for_o perfection_n but_o can_v possible_o attain_v unto_o it_o while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o vale_n of_o misery_n otherwise_o than_o that_o which_o be_v term_v perfectio_fw-la viae_fw-la and_o which_o be_v indeed_o but_o imperfecta_fw-la perfectio_fw-la therefore_o our_o love_n can_v be_v without_o fear_n as_o well_o the_o fear_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n as_o the_o fear_n of_o lose_v his_o love_n and_o favour_n for_o if_o i_o lose_v his_o favour_n i_o may_v fear_v his_o wrath_n and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o commission_n of_o any_o sin_n there_o must_v need_n be_v a_o diminution_n of_o love_n and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o extenuation_n of_o love_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v a_o occasion_n of_o fear_n but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a that_o religio_fw-la

judgement_n do_v in_o all_o the_o godly_a prevent_v and_o cast_v out_o sin_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_o to_o the_o wicked_a but_o also_o to_o his_o dear_a servant_n god_n do_v usual_o express_v himself_o by_o those_o title_n and_o epithet_n which_o may_v work_v in_o they_o as_o well_o a_o fear_n of_o his_o majesty_n as_o a_o love_n to_o his_o goodness_n as_o in_o lege_fw-la operandi_fw-la
