of_o god_n keep_v ever_o it_o comfort_n it_o shake_v and_o make_v we_o fear_n this_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o heb._n 2.14_o where_o he_o show_v that_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_n be_v that_o

yea_o so_o great_a that_o if_o hell_n gate_n be_v open_a ready_a to_o swallow_v up_o a_o man_n he_o will_v not_o yield_v until_o the_o spirit_n set_v in_o to_o convince_v the_o heart_n therefore_o

and_o spirit_n of_o fear_n be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o the_o rest_n yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o such_o a_o one_o that_o unless_o more_o follow_v it_o can_v afford_v we_o no_o comfort_n but_o why_o then_o do_v god_n suffer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v first_o terrify_v with_o this_o fear_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o two_o respect_n this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o wise_a course_n to_o deal_v with_o we_o or_o else_o many_o will_v put_v off_o the_o matter_n and_o never_o attain_v a_o sense_n of_o mercy_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n glory_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o good_a first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o that_o first_o because_o as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n so_o in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n god_n will_v have_v the_o praise_n of_o all_o his_o attribute_n for_o as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n there_o appear_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n goodness_n power_n

the_o excellency_n of_o god_n infinite_a attribute_n we_o dishonour_v he_o yea_o and_o i_o may_v safe_o add_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o therein_o appear_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o convey_n of_o it_o unto_o the_o church_n herein_o appear_v first_o infinite_a wisdom_n in_o

second_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o can_v be_v none_o comparable_a to_o this_o in_o not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n that_o so_o he_o may_v spare_v we_o who_o have_v so_o grievous_o provoke_v he_o and_o three_o there_o can_v not_o be_v so_o much_o justice_n see_v in_o any_o thing_n as_o in_o spare_v we_o not_o to_o spare_v his_o son_n in_o lay_v his_o son_n head_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o block_n and_o chap_a it_o off_o indeed_o the_o death_n unto_o which_o he_o give_v his_o son_n be_v not_o only_o more_o vile_a than_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o head_n but_o far_o more_o painful_a and_o terrible_a to_o nature_n the_o death_n on_o the_o cross_n in_o rent_v and_o tear_v that_o bless_a body_n of_o he_o even_o as_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v

justice_n and_o thus_o be_v he_o just_a as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o the_o justifyer_n of_o he_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n god_n will_v have_v justice_n and_o mercy_n meet_v and_o

the_o spirit_n must_v first_o become_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o magnify_n of_o god_n justice_n thus_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v sin_v be_v drive_v to_o this_o
