those_o evil_n and_o harm_n such_o as_o adultery_n theft_n and_o the_o like_a whereby_o our_o neighbour_n be_v incommodate_v love_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o murder_n adultery_n and_o theft_n and_o to_o whatsoever_o else_o whereby_o our_o neighbour_n be_v incommodate_v and_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o all_o such_o practice_n it_o do_v not_o only_o extend_v itself_o to_o this_o or_o that_o commandment_n but_o to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o second_o table_n i_o say_v second_o with_o esthius_n that_o though_o the_o apostle_n say_v less_o yet_o it_o be_v his_o intention_n to_o have_v more_o understand_v even_o not_o only_o that_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a but_o that_o it_o work_v all_o good_a to_o its_o neighbour_n which_o beside_o the_o usual_a form_n of_o speech_n in_o

be_v it_o be_v there_o say_v not_o only_o that_o the_o precept_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o the_o like_a but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o commandment_n it_o be_v brief_o comprehend_v in_o that_o say_n namely_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o command_n of_o honour_v our_o parent_n be_v because_o that_o be_v a_o precept_n of_o the_o

that_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n we_o be_v not_o only_o to_o understand_v that_o it_o work_v no_o ill_a but_o that_o it_o

to_o require_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o do_v evil_a but_o to_o pursue_v the_o contrary_a good_a the_o argument_n be_v much_o more_o strong_a from_o the_o affirmative_a to_o the_o negative_a that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o the_o command_n of_o any_o positive_a duty_n to_o the_o forbid_v of_o the_o contrary_a vice_n for_o though_o for_o instance_n i_o may_v abstain_v from_o dishonour_v my_o parent_n and_o yet_o never_o give_v they_o honour_n yet_o i_o can_v honour_v and_o dishonour_v they_o at_o once_o and_o therefore_o that_o commandment_n which_o enjoin_v i_o honour_n must_v consequent_o be_v think_v to_o forbid_v all_o dishonour_n and_o contempt_n thus_o far_o therefore_o we_o have_v already_o attain_v towards_o the_o importance_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n that_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 when_o god_n either_o threaten_v or_o actual_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o his_o intention_n to_o make_v they_o bear_v the_o

of_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man._n i_o will_v not_o at_o the_o first_o either_o take_v so_o much_o for_o grant_v or_o attempt_v the_o probation_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v say_v

that_o more_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o decalogue_n or_o ten_o commandment_n than_o be_v express_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o for_o first_o all_o that_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v

more_o than_o the_o reject_v of_o false_a god_n yet_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n preface_v this_o prohibition_n with_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o the_o prohibition_n itself_o manifest_o imply_v the_o have_v of_o he_o for_o our_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o god_n save_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n before_o i_o his_o meaning_n be_v as_o well_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v he_o for_o our_o god_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o other_o god_n beside_o again_o when_o the_o have_v of_o any_o one_o for_o our_o god_n imply_v the_o fear_v and_o love_v and_o honour_v he_o that_o be_v so_o according_a to_o his_o several_a attribute_n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o command_v we_o to_o have_v he_o and_o no_o other_o for_o our_o god_n he_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o command_v also_o that_o we_o shall_v fear_v and_o love_n and_o honour_v he_o and_o he_o alone_o though_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v express_v in_o it_o but_o then_o if_o the_o

no_o doubt_n we_o ought_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o because_o as_o such_o a_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a law_n so_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o many_o thing_n be_v comprehend_v in_o it_o which_o

i_o shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n show_v that_o something_o else_o be_v therefore_o supersede_v any_o far_a proof_n of_o that_o as_o altogether_o unnecessary_a i_o will_v proceed_v to_o 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
