first_o let_v i_o observe_v to_o you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a fear_n filial_a and_o servile_a childlike_a and_o slavish_a the_o one_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a fear_n such_o as_o quicken_v we_o to_o duty_n phil._n 2.12_o and_o be_v either_o the_o fear_n of_o reverence_n or_o the_o fear_n of_o caution_n the_o fear_n of_o reverence_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o awe_n we_o be_v to_o have_v of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n as_o creature_n or_o our_o humble_a sense_n of_o the_o condition_n place_n and_o duty_n of_o a_o creature_n towards_o its_o creator_n the_o fear_n of_o caution_n be_v a_o due_a sense_n of_o the_o importance_n and_o validity_n of_o the_o business_n we_o be_v engage_v in_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n certain_o none_o can_v consider_v the_o danger_n

beside_o this_o a_o slavish_a fear_n which_o do_v not_o further_o but_o extreme_o hinder_v our_o work_n for_o though_o we_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n

must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o our_o duty_n because_o it_o beget_v hatred_n to_o god_n and_o the_o torment_n it_o bring_v to_o ourselves_o as_o it_o breed_v hatred_n to_o god_n

if_o we_o be_v not_o total_o discourage_v for_o often_o it_o end_v in_o a_o despair_n of_o please_a or_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n there_o be_v a_o lazy_a sottish_a despair_n as_o well_o as_o a_o

to_o we_o these_o thought_n will_v leven_a our_o heart_n and_o make_v we_o either_o neglect_n his_o service_n or_o do_v it_o by_o constraint_n in_o a_o very_a awkward_a and_o uncomfortable_a manner_n if_o the_o devil_n can_v bring_v you_o to_o have_v a_o base_a opinion_n of_o god_n as_o cruel_a and_o tyrannical_a and_o once_o possess_v you_o with_o sour_a thought_n and_o fretful_a jealousy_n or_o harsh_a surmise_n of_o his_o government_n it_o will_v turn_v all_o your_o love_n and_o obedience_n into_o hatred_n and_o slavish_a fear_n therefore_o those_o that_o consider_v that_o love_n be_v the_o great_a principle_n of_o obedience_n shall_v also_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o necessary_a to_o breed_v love_n as_o good_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o christ_n come_v to_o this_o once_o and_o then_o all_o that_o he_o require_v and_o do_v will_v be_v acceptable_a to_o we_o his_o law_n will_v not_o be_v grievous_a nor_o his_o

that_o diligent_o seek_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o apprehend_v his_o be_v we_o shall_v also_o pitch_v upon_o his_o bounty_n and_o goodness_n first_o that_o he_o be_v and_o then_o that_o he_o be_v a_o

we_o must_v have_v commmunion_n with_o their_o successor_n how_o much_o soever_o they_o have_v degenerate_v from_o pure_a christianity_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n and_o government_n but_o say_v he_o there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n every_o single_a believer_n the_o low_a and_o least_o among_o they_o have_v a_o equal_a immediate_a union_n and_o communion_n with_o christ_n for_o the_o apostle_n
