to_o provoke_v his_o almighty_a justice_n by_o break_v any_o of_o his_o know_a law_n than_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o be_v eternal_o miserable_a and_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v so_o frequent_o enjoin_v we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n &_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o put_v for_o the_o whole_a sum_n of_o religion_n and_o for_o all_o that_o worship_n and_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n for_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v true_o ground_v and_o deep_o root_v all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n will_v flow_v from_o it_o as_o from_o their_o natural_a and_o proper_a principle_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o and_o not_o feel_v the_o force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o its_o nature_n in_o a_o perfect_a subjection_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o a_o entire_a resignation_n of_o his_o will_n to_o the_o command_n and_o disposal_n of_o god_n almighty_n 2._o as_o we_o be_v comm●●ded_v to_o fear_n god_n so_o also_o to_o fear_v the_o king_n and_o though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o equal_a reason_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a one_o

his_o authority_n and_o vindication_n of_o his_o government_n god_n who_o have_v set_v he_o upon_o his_o throne_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a community_n have_v furnish_v he_o with_o all_o those_o mean_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o attainment_n of_o such_o a_o excellent_a end_n for_o he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v he_o authority_n to_o enact_v and_o prescribe_v law_n for_o

all_o his_o other_o authority_n will_v prove_v lame_a and_o defective_a and_o insufficient_a for_o all_o those_o purpose_n for_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n be_v

the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n and_o though_o the_o great_a &_o inestible_a advantage_n of_o order_n &_o government_n be_v sufficient_a motive_n to_o engage_v any_o thoughtful_a and_o consider_a person_n to_o civil_a obedience_n and_o a_o regular_a submission_n to_o public_a authority_n yet_o few_o man_n consider_v what_o be_v their_o true_a interest_n or_o wherein_o their_o great_a

reflection_n but_o what_o their_o impotent_a passion_n and_o unruly_a appetite_n inspire_v they_o with_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o man_n general_o be_v so_o turbulent_a and_o seditious_a in_o their_o nature_n and_o inclination_n and_o upon_o every_o provocation_n &_o disgust_n nay_o upon_o every_o foolish_a caprice_n &_o humour_n so_o ready_a to_o combine_v in_o factious_a

of_o such_o people_n &_o how_o little_o they_o understand_v either_o their_o duty_n or_o their_o happiness_n so_o it_o demonstrative_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o right_a to_o punish_v offender_n &_o of_o a_o force_n sufficient_a to_o execute_v that_o right_n in_o all_o those_o who_o be_v invest_v with_o supreme_a sovereign_a authority_n for_o though_o man_n will_v not_o be_v win_v to_o live_v dutiful_o and_o loyal_o by_o the_o charm_n of_o peace_n and_o the_o blessing_n of_o obedience_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v constrain_v and_o force_v to_o do_v so_o by_o the_o dread_v and_o terror_n of_o public_a authority_n and_o fear_v of_o punishment_n will_v have_v its_o effect_n upon_o such_o obstinate_a and_o unruly_a temper_n who_o the_o hope_n of_o reward_n can_v make_v no_o

and_o consequent_o be_v not_o to_o be_v move_v by_o the_o proposal_n &_o assurance_n of_o it_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o bound_n &_o limit_n of_o their_o duty_n yet_o can_v hinder_v themselves_o from_o be_v sensible_a of_o pain_n and_o torment_n nor_o so_o far_o harden_v &_o fortify_v their_o nature_n against_o the_o impression_n of_o fear_n as_o not_o to_o feel_v the_o force_n and_o power_n of_o that_o passion_n when_o they_o lie_v under_o the_o apprehension_n of_o impendent_a ruin_n or_o approach_a misery_n and_o therefore_o as_o man_n natural_o endeavour_v to_o avoid_v what_o they_o fear_v so_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o public_a magistrate_n shall_v be_v arm_v with_o such_o a_o authority_n as_o may_v create_v fear_n in_o all_o those_o who_o otherwise_o may_v be_v dispose_v to_o resist_v and_o rise_v up_o against_o he_o that_o so_o he_o may_v constrain_v those_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o his_o justice_n who_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n clemency_n &_o

also_o to_o fear_v the_o king_n though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o proportion_n though_o the_o king_n can_v make_v we_o miserable_a to_o that_o degree_n which_o god_n can_v do_v because_o
