out_o of_o this_o right_n we_o have_v to_o that_o life_n which_o by_o grace_n be_v confer_v upon_o we_o consider_v we_o the_o extent_n hereof_o life_n heir_n together_o joynt-heir_n so_o as_o all_o

partly_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o punishment_n this_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n for_o a_o man_n must_v love_v himself_o in_o subordination_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v look_v to_o the_o avoid_n of_o evil_a and_o to_o the_o get_n of_o good_a eternal_a to_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o these_o fear_n we_o may_v consider_v of_o they_o thus_o the_o natural_a fear_n may_v be_v accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n that_o must_v be_v order_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n second_o carnal_a fear_n come_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n nor_o be_v accompany_v with_o it_o this_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v mortify_v this_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o and_o this_o fear_n abraham_n be_v exhort_v against_o here_o three_o the_o fear_n that_o be_v servile_a it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o yet_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o present_v when_o the_o day_n dawn_v but_o some_o glimpse_n go_v before_o he_o this_o we_o must_v cherish_v so_o as_o we_o bring_v it_o to_o filial_a fear_n and_o then_o we_o deal_v aright_o in_o that_o last_o for_o filial_a fear_n we_o must_v cherish_v that_o at_o all_o time_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o get_v still_o a_o more_o reverend_a respect_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n so_o i_o have_v brief_o show_v you_o what_o fear_n be_v and_o what_o fear_v we_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v free_v from_o all_o slavish_a and_o carnal_a fear_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o world_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n any_o ill_n that_o may_v befall_v we_o or_o any_o good_a that_o may_v be_v take_v from_o we_o now_o you_o see_v that_o a_o christian_n be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o may_v live_v without_o all_o fear_n that_o be_v carnal_a fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o in_o isaiah_n 8.12_o 12._o fear_v not_o their_o fear_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o brief_o 1.47_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o all_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n luke_n 1.47_o so_o then_o the_o ground_n be_v this_o that_o man_n that_o have_v no_o enemy_n that_o man_n that_o can_v possible_o be_v molest_v with_o any_o evil_n what_o need_v he_o fear_v for_o there_o be_v no_o evil_a in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v surprise_v a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o labour_v to_o keep_v his_o covenant_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o may_v conquer_v it_o for_o only_o evil_a and_o evil_a future_a be_v the_o object_n of_o fear_n now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o evil_n that_o can_v befall_v a_o child_n of_o god_n but_o such_o as_o may_v be_v conquer_v he_o shall_v contemn_v it_o and_o not_o fear_v it_o now_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v either_o reconcile_v or_o conquer_v and_o foil_v and_o what_o then_o need_v he_o fear_v they_o for_o god_n that_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o every_o man_n natural_o reconciliation_n he_o be_v reconcile_v christ_n have_v make_v our_o peace_n with_o god_n he_o have_v make_v our_o atonement_n we_o need_v not_o fear_v he_o slavish_o though_o we_o may_v and_o must_v fear_v he_o with_o a_o filial_a fear_n we_o must_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o he_o with_o horror_n as_o to_o run_v from_o he_o but_o we_o must_v so_o love_v he_o as_o to_o reverence_v before_o his_o footstool_n again_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o evil_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v enemy_n too_o but_o how_o christ_n have_v be_v please_v to_o sweeten_v these_o to_o we_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o affliction_n rom._n 8._o they_o work_v for_o good_a to_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n shall_v a_o man_n be_v afraid_a of_o his_o own_o good_a nay_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o more_o work_v our_o good_a than_o affliction_n and_o loss_n and_o cross_n we_o may_v spare_v any_o thing_n better_o than_o they_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a of_o that_o that_o work_v our_o good_a death_n it_o be_v reconcile_v and_o make_v our_o friend_n it_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n christ_n have_v pull_v out_o the_o sting_n and_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o he_o have_v make_v it_o the_o birthday_n of_o eternity_n a_o sweet_a passage_n to_o a_o better_a life_n death_n bring_v not_o evil_a to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n but_o rather_o terminate_v all_o evil_a that_o he_o be_v molest_v with_o in_o the_o world_n so_o then_o some_o enemy_n be_v reconcile_v and_o make_v our_o friend_n and_o these_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o fear_v again_o conquest_n there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v irreconcilable_a and_o they_o be_v conquer_v and_o overcome_v the_o devil_n will_v never_o be_v friend_n with_o we_o therefore_o christ_n have_v spoil_v
