precept_n drive_v on_o to_o a_o endeavour_n of_o obedience_n and_o well-pleasing_a slavish_a fear_n force_v a_o man_n to_o do_v the_o duty_n some_o way_n or_o other_o without_o any_o regard_n to_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v of_o it_o there_o be_v also_o another_o branch_n of_o a_o holy_a filial_a fear_n when_o we_o think_v on_o the_o example_n of_o god_n vengeance_n show_v on_o wicked_a man_n for_o their_o sin_n do_v take_v care_v not_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n lest_o we_o have_v the_o same_o punishment_n and_o so_o crave_v aid_n and_o assistance_n of_o god_n against_o they_o depend_v upon_o his_o grace_n and_o assistance_n by_o his_o spirit_n for_o we_o be_v of_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o they_o be_v and_o bear_v about_o we_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n these_o thing_n be_v our_o 12._o 1_o cor._n 10._o 6._o to_o 12._o example_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o lust_n after_o evil_a thing_n as_o they_o also_o lust_v neither_o be_v you_o idolater_n as_o be_v some_o of_o they_o etc._n etc._n neither_o let_v we_o commit_v fornication_n etc._n etc._n neither_o let_v we_o tempt_v christ_n etc._n etc._n neither_o murmur_n as_o some_o of_o they_o also_o murmur_v and_o be_v destroy_v of_o the_o destroyer_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o for_o ensample_n and_o be_v write_v for_o our_o admonition_n etc._n etc._n wherefore_o let_v he_o that_o think_v he_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v therefore_o we_o be_v bid_v to_o work_v out_o our_o 12._o phil._n 2._o 12._o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a see_v our_o own_o weakness_n wretchedness_n and_o sinfulness_n to_o lie_v low_a in_o our_o own_o sight_n and_o to_o look_v up_o unto_o and_o rest_v upon_o the_o almighty_a power_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n nothing_o so_o much_o awaken_v we_o to_o cast_v all_o our_o confidence_n upon_o god_n and_o by_o faith_n to_o rely_v upon_o he_o as_o to_o have_v a_o distrust_n of_o ourselves_o see_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o frailty_n and_o when_o we_o thus_o go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o rest_v whole_o upon_o god_n it_o always_o go_v best_a with_o we_o ephraim_n be_v 1._o hosââ_n 1â_n 1._o hear_v in_o that_o he_o âeared_v therefore_o solomon_n say_v happy_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o 14._o prov._n 28._o 14._o how_o wretched_a soever_o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o by_o faith_n we_o know_v that_o through_o god_n most_o gracious_a acceptation_n of_o we_o in_o christ_n we_o shall_v be_v bless_v god_n require_v to_o himself_o the_o reverence_n both_o of_o a_o father_n and_o also_o of_o a_o master_n a_o son_n honour_v his_o father_n and_o a_o servant_n 6._o mal._n 1._o 6._o his_o master_n if_o then_o i_o be_v a_o father_n where_o be_v my_o honour_n and_o if_o i_o be_v a_o master_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n he_o that_o true_o worship_v god_n will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v himself_o both_o a_o dutiful_a son_n and_o a_o obedient_a servant_n unto_o he_o therefore_o let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o reverence_n join_v with_o honour_n q._n but_o how_o shall_v we_o answer_v that_o place_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n because_o fear_n 18._o 1_o joh._n 4._o 18._o have_v torment_n he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o make_v perfect_a in_o love_n a._n the_o wicked_a fear_v not_o displease_v god_n so_o that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o without_o punishment_n but_o because_o they_o do_v know_v god_n be_v arm_v with_o power_n to_o revenge_v therefore_o they_o tremble_v and_o fear_n apprehend_v his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n but_o the_o godly_a fear_n to_o displease_v and_o offend_v god_n more_o than_o they_o fear_v the_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o more_o careful_a wary_a and_o watchful_a the_o fear_n which_o the_o apostle_n john_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v slavish_a fear_n there_o be_v no_o such_o slavish_a fear_n in_o love_n but_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o that_o fear_n that_o be_v our_o true_a lively_a and_o sincere_a love_n to_o god_n carry_v itself_o no_o long_o towards_o god_n with_o a_o simple_a fear_n of_o his_o terrible_a majesty_n and_o judgement_n but_o with_o a_o sweet_a humble_a and_o reverend_a apprehension_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o goodness_n by_o which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o declare_v himself_o most_o amiable_a and_o lovely_a to_o the_o soul_n whereby_o be_v beget_v hope_n and_o confidence_n in_o he_o q._n how_o may_v we_o understand_v that_o place_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o 15._o rom._n 8._o 15._o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n a._n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a

of_o their_o sin_n rebuke_v they_o for_o sin_n and_o convince_a they_o of_o sin_n let_v they_o see_v the_o bondage_n and_o servitude_n under_o which_o they_o lie_v that_o they_o be_v slave_n of_o
