intend_v no_o more_o than_o the_o bare_a please_a of_o our_o passion_n but_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o sure_a guard_n against_o all_o these_o mischief_n for_o when_o once_o this_o fear_n have_v make_v we_o take_v care_n not_o to_o offend_v god_n our_o soul_n will_v natural_o tend_v to_o love_v he_o from_o the_o prospect_n of_o those_o gracious_a promise_n wherein_o such_o as_o fear_v he_o be_v secure_a of_o a_o grow_a interest_n now_o the_o wisdom_n of_o fear_v god_n will_v be_v manifest_v 1_o sty_n by_o consider_v the_o reasonableness_n and_o 2_o dly_z the_o advantage_n of_o it_o 1_o sy_n i_o shall_v consider_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o duty_n god_n almighty_n give_v we_o the_o passion_n of_o fear_n on_o purpose_n to_o make_v we_o wise_a and_o its_o subserviency_n to_o wisdom_n be_v visible_a in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o human_a affair_n for_o set_v aside_o fear_v and_o there_o be_v no_o providence_n in_o management_n no_o weight_n in_o counsel_n no_o prudence_n in_o election_n no_o discretion_n in_o act_v all_o run_v to_o rashness_n and_o folly_n and_o end_n in_o expose_v we_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n as_o therefore_o in_o a_o town_n alarm_v by_o a_o enemy_n a_o sentinel_n be_v set_v to_o watch_v their_o approach_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o danger_n of_o a_o surprise_n so_o in_o regard_n of_o those_o many_o evil_n and_o danger_n to_o which_o we_o be_v obnoxious_a in_o this_o life_n god_n have_v set_v fear_n in_o our_o soul_n for_o a_o sentinel_n to_o watch_v when_o and_o which_o way_n they_o come_v and_o to_o give_v we_o caution_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v they_o but_o the_o same_o god_n that_o have_v give_v we_o fear_v for_o a_o caution_n against_o evil_n in_o general_n have_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n give_v we_o notice_n that_o his_o displeasure_n be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o evil_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o account_v it_o a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n to_o be_v watchful_a against_o other_o evil_n so_o it_o be_v necessary_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o wisdom_n to_o be_v watchful_a against_o this_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v of_o so_o great_a importance_n to_o we_o that_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v intend_v a_o gracious_a intimation_n of_o it_o in_o every_o motion_n of_o our_o natural_a fear_n our_o natural_a fear_n we_o know_v be_v either_o sudden_a or_o deliberate_a the_o sudden_a be_v such_o as_o come_v upon_o we_o surprise_o and_o without_o deliberation_n and_o of_o these_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v very_o often_o immoderate_a boundless_a and_o ungovernable_a and_o as_o they_o prevent_v our_o deliberation_n in_o their_o come_n so_o they_o often_o baffle_v it_o be_v come_v and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v control_v by_o any_o power_n of_o reason_v how_o wonderful_o will_v a_o man_n sometime_o be_v affect_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o a_o sudden_a noise_n in_o the_o night_n his_o blood_n run_v back_o his_o spirit_n sink_v his_o soul_n melt_v within_o he_o and_o a_o horror_n pass_v through_o every_o part_n of_o his_o body_n now_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o this_o seem_v absolute_o unreasonable_a a_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n will_v not_o fear_v any_o accident_n of_o life_n no_o nor_o death_n itself_o at_o such_o a_o rate_n and_o yet_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n can_v sometime_o hinder_v such_o a_o fear_n from_o rise_v upon_o a_o mere_a bugbear_n occasion_n now_o how_o unreasonable_a soever_o this_o fear_n seem_v to_o be_v it_o carry_v a_o most_o reasonable_a admonition_n along_o with_o it_o and_o as_o the_o sentinel_n when_o set_v have_v a_o word_n give_v he_o whereby_o to_o distinguish_v his_o proper_a officer_n so_o god_n when_o he_o set_v this_o fear_n in_o we_o seem_v to_o have_v give_v it_o his_o own_o word_n a_o word_n which_o it_o whisper_v to_o we_o upon_o each_o of_o its_o surprise_v motion_n viz._n thus_o it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o fear_n god_n thus_o it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o fear_n god_n because_o even_o as_o a_o man_n fear_v so_o be_v his_o displeasure_n even_o as_o a_o man_n fear_v when_o he_o fear_v most_o boundless_o most_o extravagant_o so_o be_v his_o displeasure_n his_o displeasure_n bear_v proportion_n to_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o this_o though_o nothing_o in_o nature_n do_v so_o beside_o it_o thus_o god_n have_v make_v nothing_o in_o vain_a no_o not_o our_o vain_a fear_n from_o who_o if_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o leisure_n to_o reflect_v we_o may_v learn_v so_o important_a a_o lesson_n our_o deliberate_a and_o just_a fear_n be_v as_o just_a to_o the_o same_o intimation_n and_o each_o of_o their_o motion_n point_v out_o god_n to_o the_o first_o glance_n of_o our_o reason_v for_o if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o fear_v want_n how_o much_o more_o reasonable_a be_v it_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o bounty_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o our_o supply_n if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o fear_v disappointment_n how_o much_o more_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o providence_n dispose_v the_o issue_n of_o all_o we_o project_v if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o fear_v disgrace_n how_o much_o more_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o estimation_n import_v more_o towards_o it_o than_o that_o of_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o fear_v pain_n and_o other_o inconvenience_n of_o life_n how_o much_o more_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o pleasure_n determine_v both_o all_o our_o ease_n and_o all_o our_o suffering_n in_o a_o word_n if_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o fear_v they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n how_o much_o more_o he_o who_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v can_v cast_v into_o hell_n this_o then_o be_v the_o moral_a and_o this_o be_v the_o lesson_n of_o all_o our_o fear_n fear_v god_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o wisdom_n to_o do_v so_o it_o be_v equal_o no_o folly_n to_o kick_v against_o the_o prick_n to_o embrace_v a_o scorpion_n to_o run_v under_o a_o fall_a tower_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o lion_n into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o duty_n let_v we_o two_o consider_v its_o advantage_n and_o to_o give_v my_o thought_n a_o track_n in_o this_o wide_a field_n i_o shall_v confine_v they_o to_o this_o particular_a viz._n that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cure_n of_o all_o other_o fear_n and_o when_o i_o have_v say_v this_o i_o have_v imply_v a_o mighty_a advantage_n because_o fear_v when_o loose_a from_o god_n be_v undoubted_o both_o the_o great_a burden_n and_o the_o great_a snare_n that_o human_a life_n be_v acquaint_v with_o i_o call_v fear_v the_o great_a burden_n of_o life_n because_o of_o its_o natural_a torture_a power_n and_o i_o call_v it_o the_o great_a snare_n of_o life_n because_o of_o its_o moral_a corrupt_a power_n let_v we_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o they_o both_o 1._o fear_n carry_v with_o it_o such_o a_o torture_a power_n that_o can_v we_o but_o estimate_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n together_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o world_n be_v at_o all_o time_n more_o miserable_a from_o what_o it_o fear_v than_o from_o what_o it_o feel_v nay_o fear_n be_v such_o a_o tyrant_n that_o let_v we_o feel_v never_o so_o much_o it_o will_v still_o heap_v on_o weight_n and_o make_v that_o which_o may_v be_v worse_o than_o that_o which_o be_v as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n tell_v we_o concern_v the_o egyptian_n that_o when_o they_o lie_v under_o their_o grievous_a plague_n of_o darkness_n yet_o their_o fear_n be_v more_o grievous_a than_o the_o darkness_n but_o 2._o beside_o this_o torture_a power_n fear_n have_v in_o it_o a_o corrupt_a and_o debauch_v power_n whereby_o its_o moral_a mischief_n come_v to_o be_v excessive_a for_o fear_n be_v the_o main_a rock_n upon_o which_o most_o man_n split_v their_o faith_n their_o honour_n their_o integrity_n all_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o some_o sort_n of_o cowardly_a compliance_n and_o man_n become_v vicious_a perhaps_o less_o from_o the_o love_n of_o be_v so_o than_o from_o want_n of_o courage_n to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o rev._n 21._o 8._o the_o fearful_a be_v set_v first_o in_o the_o list_n of_o those_o that_o go_v to_o perdition_n so_o that_o though_o fear_n be_v give_v we_o on_o purpose_n to_o make_v we_o wise_a yet_o it_o never_o effect_n that_o purpose_n till_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v fix_v upon_o god_n and_o receive_v virtue_n from_o that_o supreme_a object_n to_o govern_v its_o motion_n in_o reference_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n like_o a_o wise_a monarch_n set_v up_o in_o a_o disturb_a state_n compose_v all_o the_o tumult_n of_o vulgar_a fear_n and_o keep_v they_o subordinate_a to_o itself_o render_v they_o both_o harmless_a and_o useful_a to_o their_o proper_a
