unto_o your_o duty_n the_o first_o of_o they_o which_o be_v fear_n will_v make_v you_o careful_a of_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o cause_v you_o to_o fail_v in_o none_o of_o they_o the_o

be_v most_o evident_a and_o beyond_o all_o question_n and_o doubt_v whatsoever_o the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v fear_n in_o fear_n say_v the_o text_n or_o after_o some_o with_o reverence_n both_o

much_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n as_o for_o loathsomnesse_n on_o their_o part_n of_o love_n to_o displease_v his_o majesty_n or_o to_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o for_o any_o

and_o care_v to_o offend_v he_o and_o other_o again_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 of_o the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v mention_n here_o make_v &_o not_o of_o the_o latter_a it_o may_v be_v define_v thus_o 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 and_o the_o great_a excellency_n of_o superiority_n dignity_n

before_o their_o eye_n alas_o their_o case_n be_v miserable_a for_o they_o serve_v not_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n what_o show_v of_o religion_n soever_o they_o do_v make_v or_o what_o brag_v soever_o they_o do_v give_v forth_o concern_v the_o same_o for_o see_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o very_a beginning_n of_o wisdom_n and_o the_o soundation_n or_o groundsill_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v unto_o you_o already_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o either_o they_o shall_v have_v any_o true_a wisdom_n in_o they_o or_o else_o religious_o shall_v serve_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o want_v this_o fear_n the_o only_a cause_n and_o fountain_n thereof_o second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o get_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o

we_o be_v deliver_v from_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o shall_v serve_v the_o lord_n without_o fear_n as_o it_o be_v in_o luk._n 1.74_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr that_o perfect_a love_n do_v cast_v out_o hellish_a fear_n and_o that_o slavish_a or_o servile_a one_o whereof_o we_o speak_v before_o that_o make_v man_n to_o tremble_v before_o god_n for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n and_o to_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o from_o a_o terrible_a judge_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n it_o cause_v that_o holy_a and_o childish_a fear_n mention_v also_o before_o that_o make_v man_n more_o

receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n say_v paul_n in_o rom._n 8.15_o to_o fear_v again_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abbah_n father_n so_o that_o true_a love_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o cast_v out_o this_o holy_a fear_n of_o adoption_n or_o reverence_n whereby_o we_o be_v draw_v to_o hate_v sin_n in_o love_n towards_o god_n and_o not_o for_o punishment_n

to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n for_o it_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o bring_v he_o into_o our_o soul_n as_o the_o bristle_n bring_v in_o the_o three_o but_o when_o he_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o we_o and_o have_v take_v up_o the_o possession_n of_o our_o soul_n within_o we_o then_o this_o fear_n be_v go_v as_o the_o bristle_n be_v when_o the_o three_o be_v enter_v into_o

we_o may_v always_o reverence_v and_o dread_v the_o great_a name_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n doubtless_o we_o shall_v neuer_o serve_v the_o lord_n aright_o or_o become_v happy_a and_o bless_a

the_o compass_n of_o heavenly_a direction_n the_o second_o be_v a_o loyal_a subjection_n and_o a_o serviceable_a obedience_n both_o towards_o the_o father_n and_o also_o towards_o the_o son_n towards_o the_o father_n in_o verse_n 11._o who_o they_o must_v serve_v in_o fear_n and_o before_o who_o they_o must_v rejoice_v in_o tremble_v and_o towards_o the_o son_n in_o verse_n 12._o who_o

be_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o person_n the_o other_o of_o his_o quality_n belong_v unto_o his_o person_n for_o his_o person_n because_o he_o be_v not_o only_a man_n as_o many_o other_o be_v but_o
