of_o fear_n isa_n 11.2_o and_o then_o 3._o spiritual_a in_o respect_n of_o those_o spiritual_a effect_n which_o it_o produce_v or_o work_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n i_o shall_v name_v three_o of_o they_o very_o brief_o first_o of_o all_o it_o do_v spiritual_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n towards_o god_n fear_v under_o a_o natural_a consideration_n shut_v and_o straiten_n the_o heart_n and_o make_v

exceed_o enlarge_v the_o heart_n towards_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v fear_n and_o enlargement_n put_v together_o isai_n 60.5_o where_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o holy_a fear_n which_o shall_v follow_v that_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o abundant_a access_n of_o the_o gentile_n to_o the_o gospel_n he_o say_v then_o thoushalt_v see_v and_o flow_v together_o and_o thy_o heart_n shall_v sear_v and_o be_v enlarge_v because_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o sea_n shall_v be_v convert_v unto_o thou_o the_o force_n of_o the_o gentile_n shall_v come_v unto_o thou_o second_o this_o spiritual_a fear_n be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o sin_n a_o example_n of_o it_o you_o have_v in_o joseph_n gen._n 39.9_o and_o then_o three_o as_o it_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o sin_n so_o it_o be_v a_o bond_n to_o hold_v we_o to_o duty_n it_o will_v constrain_v we_o unto_o well-doing_n jer._n 32.40_o i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n in_o

so_o much_o as_o they_o who_o fear_v he_o in_o this_o manner_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o give_v you_o the_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o fear_n now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v which_o of_o these_o three_o fear_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v in_o the_o doctrine_n when_o we_o say_v that_o every_o true_a and_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v a_o fear_a of_o god_n why_o beloved_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o late_a have_v his_o heart_n season_v and_o possess_v with_o the_o holy_a spiritual_a filial_a and_o reverential_a fear_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n i_o come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v make_v good_a unto_o you_o three_o way_n 1._o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v decipher_v or_o characterise_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o fearer_n of_o god_n and_o that_o not_o only_o here_o in_o my_o text_n than_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o one_o to_o another_o etc._n etc._n but_o elsewhere_o take_v two_o or_o three_o text_n more_o prov._n 4.2_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o his_o uprightness_n fear_v the_o lord_n but_o he_o that_o be_v perverse_a in_o his_o way_n despise_v he_o i.e._n he_o that_o be_v sincere_a and_o upright_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n he_o that_o serve_v he_o true_o and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o he_o nay_o he_o be_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n all_o the_o day_n long_o so_o again_o mal._n 4.2_o but_o unto_o you_o that_o fear_v my_o name_n shall_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n arise_v with_o heal_v in_o his_o wing_n and_o you_o shall_v go_v forth_o and_o grow_v up_o as_o calf_n of_o the_o stall_n you_o that_o fear_v my_o name_n be_v oppose_v to_o the_o proud_a and_o wicked_a in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n for_o behold_v the_o day_n come_v that_o shall_v burn_v as_o a_o oven_n and_o the_o proud_a yea_o and_o all_o that_o do_v wicked_o shall_v be_v stubble_n and_o the_o day_n that_o come_v shall_v burn_v they_o up_o that_o it_o shall_v leave_v they_o neither_o root_n nor_o branch_n unto_o you_o i._n e._n who_o be_v my_o servant_n and_o act_v 13.16_o then_o paul_n stand_v up_o and_o becken_v with_o his_o hand_n say_v man_n of_o israel_n and_o you_o that_o fear_v god_n give_v audience_n many_o other_o scripture_n may_v be_v allege_v unto_o the_o same_o purpose_n where_o to_o fear_n god_n be_v set_v down_o as_o a_o circumlocution_n or_o periphrasis_n of_o they_o that_o true_o serve_v god_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v express_v a_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n he_o express_v he_o in_o this_o variation_n he_o be_v one_o that_o fear_v god_n but_o than_o second_o that_o every_o true_a and_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n be_v a_o fear_a of_o god_n may_v be_v prove_v thus_o in_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v in_o scripture_n conjoin_v as_o two_o inseparable_a or_o individual_a companion_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v often_o make_v they_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n together_o josh_n 24.14_o now_o therefore_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o sincerity_n and_o in_o truth_n and_o put_v away_o the_o god_n which_o your_o father_n serve_v on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o flood_n and_o in_o egypt_n serve_v you_o the_o lord_n mark_v it_o well_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o intimate_v that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a service_n perform_v unto_o god_n reade_n psal_n 2.11_o serve_v the_o lord_n with_o fear_n and_o rejoice_v with_o tremble_a fear_v and_o service_n be_v here_o couple_v together_o a_o fearless_a heart_n be_v always_o a_o graceless_a heart_n fear_n be_v that_o affection_n with_o which_o we_o must_v worship_v and_o serve_v god_n
