christ_n himself_o have_v prefer_v it_o in_o valuation_n what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n though_o he_o shall_v win_v the_o whole_a world_n if_o he_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n and_o therefore_o

of_o nature_n as_o duration_n of_o time_n bless_a then_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o disposer_n of_o these_o heavenly_a song_n of_o david_n first_o this_o psalm_n do_v teach_v we_o these_o two_o worthy_a point_n namely_o how_o the_o bless_a man_n live_v and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n second_o what_o manner_n of_o life_n he_o lead_v and_o great_o delight_v in_o his_o commandment_n these_o psalm_n of_o david_n the_o sweet_a singer_n of_o israel_n be_v pen_v with_o such_o heavenly_a wisdom_n that_o they_o be_v convenient_a for_o the_o state_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o every_o member_n thereof_o it_o be_v a_o banquet_n of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n say_v ambrose_n and_o as_o basil_n speak_v of_o another_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n liken_v it_o to_o a_o apothecary_n shop_n so_o may_v this_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n fit_o be_v compare_v in_o which_o be_v so_o many_o sundry_a sort_n of_o medicine_n that_o every_o man_n may_v have_v that_o which_o be_v convenient_a for_o his_o disease_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sickness_n of_o man_n whereunto_o the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n furnish_v not_o a_o present_a remedy_n first_o this_o bless_a man_n be_v describe_v show_v what_o he_o do_v careful_o embrace_v and_o follow_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v that_o endeavour_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n to_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n second_o what_o be_v his_o practice_n namely_o to_o be_v much_o &_o often_o in_o serious_a &_o christian_a meditation_n and_o delight_v great_o in_o his_o commandment_n three_o he_o show_v the_o happy_a success_n of_o this_o bless_a man_n his_o seed_n shall_v be_v mighty_a upon_o earth_n now_o see_v this_o be_v the_o main_a proposition_n of_o the_o psalm_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o godly_a man_n and_o he_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v only_o bless_v therefore_o the_o prophet_n do_v first_o show_v who_o be_v true_o bless_v and_o then_o wherein_o their_o blessedness_n do_v consist_v david_n often_o use_v this_o phrase_n as_o in_o the_o first_o psalm_n blessed_n be_v the_o man_n that_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o council_n of_o the_o ungodly_a etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o 32._o psalm_n blessed_n be_v he_o who_o wickedness_n be_v forgive_v who_o sin_n be_v cover_v etc._n etc._n and_o as_o here_o we_o have_v it_o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o a_o man_n in_o admiration_n or_o admire_v with_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v o_o the_o blessedness_n of_o that_o man_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o duty_n i_o observe_v three_o point_n first_o what_o be_v the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n second_o what_o we_o be_v to_o fear_v in_o god_n three_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v attain_v to_o this_o fear_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a fear_n the_o one_o be_v holy_a and_o good_a call_v filial_a or_o childish_a the_o other_o be_v bad_a and_o naught_o term_v servile_a or_o slavish_a the_o filial_a or_o childish_a fear_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v in_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n who_o do_v reverence_n and_o fear_v they_o as_o be_v unwilling_a to_o offend_v they_o any_o way_n whether_o by_o word_n or_o deed_n through_o the_o tender_a love_n and_o affection_n which_o they_o do_v bear_v towards_o they_o the_o servile_a fear_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v in_o bondslave_n towards_o their_o master_n who_o do_v reverence_n and_o fear_v they_o through_o the_o dread_n and_o fear_n of_o punishment_n which_o otherwise_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v if_o they_o offend_v and_o do_v contrary_a to_o their_o duty_n so_o that_o some_o do_v fear_v he_o through_o love_n and_o care_v to_o offend_v he_o and_o other_o do_v fear_v he_o through_o dread_n of_o punishment_n and_o power_n to_o torment_v they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v define_v thus_o be_v what_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v it_o be_v a_o reverence_n of_o god_n majesty_n in_o our_o heart_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v unwilling_a to_o offend_v he_o in_o any_o thing_n and_o most_o willing_a to_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n through_o the_o love_n which_o we_o bear_v towards_o he_o this_o be_v a_o virtue_n most_o necessary_a and_o requisite_a for_o all_o christian_n whatsoever_o as_o may_v at_o large_a be_v show_v but_o let_v the_o example_n of_o abraham_n suffice_v 20.11_o gen._n 20.11_o who_o think_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o gerar_n utter_o despair_v of_o any_o other_o virtue_n and_o therefore_o move_v
