and_o no_o long_o thus_o far_o this_o fear_n be_v godly_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v godly_a be_v because_o the_o groundwork_n of_o it_o be_v good_a i_o tell_v you_o before_o what_o this_o fear_n be_v namely_o it_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o damnation_n now_o the_o ground_n for_o this_o fear_n be_v good_a as_o be_v manifest_a by_o these_o particular_n 1._o the_o soul_n fear_v damnation_n

this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v good_a and_o godly_a yet_o after_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o and_o we_o make_v to_o accept_v of_o he_o as_o so_o reveal_v and_o offer_v to_o we_o by_o a_o true_a and_o live_a faith_n this_o fear_n to_o wit_n of_o damnation_n be_v no_o long_o good_a but_o ungodly_a nor_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n
