he_o will_v in_o hell_n fire_n thus_o now_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o fear_n strengthen_v then_o study_v these_o thing_n consider_v and_o meditate_v upon_o these_o thing_n but_o yet_o a_o

here_o we_o use_v to_o say_v too_o much_o familiarity_n breed_v contempt_n but_o here_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o by_o familiarity_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n we_o shall_v have_v more_o

labour_v to_o walk_v more_o close_o with_o god_n and_o to_o have_v more_o communion_n with_o he_o labour_v therefore_o i_o say_v to_o have_v more_o communion_n with_o god_n if_o you_o will_v fear_v he_o more_o and_o more_o the_o great_a a_o person_n be_v here_o on_o earth_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o the_o more_o we_o fear_v he_o and_o the_o near_o he_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o we_o the_o

truth_n yet_o more_o and_o more_o and_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o think_v of_o this_o truth_n meditate_v upon_o it_o think_v of_o it_o upon_o all_o occasion_n and_o say_v do_v other_o slubber_v over_o

of_o god_n but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n let_v this_o truth_n go_v up_o and_o down_o with_o you_o and_o it_o will_v keep_v you_o in_o your_o deal_n both_o with_o god_n

because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n sermon_n v._o psal._n 133.1_o behold_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n in_o this_o short_a psalm_n we_o may_v see_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o saint_n communion_n fellowship_n and_o brotherly_a agreement_n it_o be_v describe_v and_o commend_v first_o describe_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o it_o from_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v for_o brethren_n second_o describe_v also_o from_o the_o act_n and_o exercise_n thereof_o which_o be_v to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n second_o it_o be_v commend_v from_o the_o goodness_n and_o profitableness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n a_o profitable_a thing_n for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n behold_v how_o good_a it_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n behold_v how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v beyond_o expression_n for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n and_o the_o goodness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o it_o be_v express_v by_o two_o similitude_n it_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o aaron_n verse_n 2._o it_o be_v like_o the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o the_o head_n that_o run_v down_o upon_o the_o beard_n even_o aaron_n hear_v that_o go_v down_o to_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n it_o be_v compare_v also_o to_o the_o dew_n that_o fall_v upon_o hermon_n and_o the_o hill_n of_o zion_n verse_n 3_o as_o the_o dew_n of_o hermon_n and_o as_o the_o dew_n that_o descend_v upon_o the_o mountain_n of_o zion_n etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v the_o design_n of_o this_o psalm_n be_v to_o declare_v the_o goodness_n and_o profitableness_n of_o unity_n between_o brethren_n from_o whence_o then_o i_o take_v up_o this_o observation_n that_o a_o love_a agreement_n between_o the_o saint_n among_o themselves_o be_v exceed_v pleasant_a and_o very_o profitable_a some_o thing_n be_v pleasant_a but_o not_o profitable_a and_o some_o thing_n be_v profitable_a and_o not_o pleasant_a as_o physic_n etc._n etc._n but_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n and_o a_o love_a agreement_n among_o the_o saint_n be_v both_o pleasant_a and_o profitable_a first_o it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n to_o agree_v together_o for_o the_o same_o word_n which_o be_v use_v here_o for_o pleasant_a be_v use_v also_o in_o the_o hebrew_n for_o a_o harmony_n of_o music_n such_o as_o when_o they_o rise_v to_o the_o high_a strain_n of_o the_o viol_n when_o the_o string_n be_v all_o put_v in_o order_n to_o make_v up_o a_o harmony_n so_o pleasant_a be_v it_o such_o pleasantness_n be_v there_o in_o the_o saint_n agreement_n the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v also_o in_o the_o hebrew_n for_o the_o pleasantness_n of_o a_o cornfield_n when_o a_o field_n be_v clothe_v with_o corn_n though_o it_o be_v cut_v down_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o pleasant_a o_o how_o pleasant_a be_v it_o and_o such_o be_v the_o saint_n agreement_n the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o psalmist_n be_v use_v also_o for_o the_o sweetness_n of_o honey_n and_o of_o sweet_a thing_n in_o opposition_n to_o bitter_a thing_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o pleasantness_n of_o it_o by_o its_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o harmony_n of_o music_n to_o the_o cornfield_n to_o the_o sweetness_n of_o honey_n to_o the_o precious_a ointment_n that_o run_v down_o aaron_n beard_n and_o to_o the_o dew_n that_o fall_v upon_o hermon_n and_o the_o hill_n of_o zion_n and_o all_o this_o be_v to_o discover_v the_o pleasantness_n profitableness_n and_o sweetness_n of_o the_o saint_n agreement_n behold_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n to_o behold_v the_o sun_n but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o pleasant_a to_o behold_v the_o saint_n agreement_n and_o unity_n among_o themselves_o there_o be_v many_o time_n break_n and_o lose_n in_o the_o love_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o agreement_n and_o union_n among_o themselves_o again_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o pleasant_a and_o profitable_a and_o sweet_a for_o thing_n once_o lose_v and_o find_v again_o be_v very_o sweet_a and_o upon_o this_o account_v it_o be_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o love_n be_v call_v a_o new_a commandment_n because_o it_o be_v break_v so_o often_o and_o so_o often_o renew_v again_o and_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o sweetness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o unity_n because_o there_o be_v no_o sweetness_n in_o division_n but_o unity_n be_v a_o good_a way_n and_o mean_n to_o keep_v out_o trouble_n and_o evil_a division_n from_o among_o a_o people_n and_o further_o the_o more_o difficulty_n any_o mercy_n be_v obtain_v with_o the_o sweet_a it_o be_v when_o obtain_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v hard_a to_o come_v by_o but_o when_o they_o be_v obtain_v they_o be_v sweet_a and_o so_o there_o be_v many_o difficulty_n in_o the_o way_n of_o love_n and_o sweet_a agreement_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v encumber_v with_o many_o difficulty_n they_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o put_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o love_n and_o of_o sweet_a agreement_n among_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n phil._n 1.27_o only_o let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n that_o whether_o i_o come_v and_o see_v you_o or_o else_o be_v absent_a i_o may_v hear_v of_o your_o affair_n that_o you_o stand_v fast_o in_o one_o spirit_n with_o one_o mind_n strive_v together_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n again_o the_o more_o suitable_a any_o thing_n be_v to_o our_o

appoint_v to_o be_v their_o governor_n in_o the_o land_n of_o judah_n from_o the_o twenty_o year_n even_o unto_o the_o two_o and_o thirty_o year_n of_o artaxerxes_n the_o king_n i_o and_o my_o brethren_n have_v not_o eat_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o governor_n for_o the_o former_a governor_n that_o have_v be_v before_o i_o be_v chargeable_a unto_o the_o people_n and_o have_v take_v of_o

of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n from_o hence_o then_o observe_v this_o truth_n or_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o those_o that_o true_o fear_v god_n will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n will_v keep_v man_n from_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o other_o man_n will_v do_v yea_o though_o a_o action_n be_v to_o a_o man_n advantage_n yet_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n will_v not_o do_v it_o if_o it_o be_v evil_a and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o nehemiah_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o we_o shall_v first_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v to_o fear_n god_n and_o we_o shall_v second_o show_v you_o that_o a_o man_n that_o true_o fear_v god_n will_v do_v as_o nehemiah_n do_v neither_o can_v he_o do_v as_o other_o do_v three_o we_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o there_o be_v in_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o do_v lay_v such_o a_o balance_n upon_o man_n heart_n that_o they_o can_v do_v as_o other_o do_v four_o we_o shall_v answer_v this_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n may_v not_o sometime_o do_v as_o other_o do_v five_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o issue_n and_o consequence_n of_o this_o truth_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o application_n first_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v i_o answer_v in_o the_o general_a that_o it_o be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n do_v flee_v from_o eminent_a evil_n but_o now_o further_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v twofold_a a_o servile_a fear_n and_o a_o silial_a fear_n a_o servile_a fear_n whereby_o a_o man_n fear_v god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o hell_n or_o judgement_n or_o because_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o now_o a_o fear_n of_o god_n not_o only_o because_o of_o his_o judgement_n but_o because_o of_o displease_v of_o he_o because_o of_o his_o love_n because_o we_o will_v not_o offend_v this_o be_v a_o silial_a fear_n to_o fear_v he_o because_o we_o will_v not_o do_v contrary_a to_o his_o command_n and_o thus_o do_v abraham_n when_o he_o will_v have_v offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n for_o say_v god_n gen._n 22.12_o by_o this_o i_o know_v thou_o fear_v god_n because_o he_o obey_v his_o command_n and_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v contrary_a second_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n this_o filial_a fear_n be_v not_o only_o because_o of_o his_o love_n but_o of_o his_o love_n in_o conjunction_n with_o his_o greatness_n also_o the_o great_a a_o man_n be_v the_o more_o we_o fear_v he_o and_o the_o near_o he_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o we_o the_o more_o we_o reverence_v he_o yet_o further_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o conjunction_n with_o his_o greatness_n call_v for_o our_o fear_n so_o also_o three_o the_o word_n and_o work_n of_o god_n call_v for_o our_o fear_n for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v mighty_a and_o his_o work_n be_v wonderful_a for_o it_o be_v say_v of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v fearful_a in_o praise_n work_v wonder_n thus_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o this_o filial_a fear_n be_v i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o fear_n whereby_o we_o fear_v he_o because_o of_o his_o love_n because_o of_o his_o greatness_n and_o because_o of_o his_o word_n and_o work_n that_o be_v the_o first_o second_o a_o man_n that_o true_o fear_v god_n can_v do_v as_o other_o can_v do_v for_o in_o the_o text_n we_o find_v that_o nehemiah_n have_v a_o opportunity_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o make_v himself_o to_o raise_v himself_o to_o make_v himself_o rich_a as_o to_o outward_a thing_n but_o you_o see_v what_o he_o say_v but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o as_o other_o do_v because_o i_o fear_v god_n where_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n be_v plant_v in_o a_o man_n heart_n he_o can_v he_o will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o man_n can_v and_o will_v do_v i_o shall_v clear_v this_o to_o you_o by_o instance_v in_o some_o particular_n first_o he_o that_o fear_v god_n can_v do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o choice_n you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o the_o damsel_n the_o daughter_n of_o herodias_n mat._n 14.7_o 8._o when_o she_o have_v dance_v before_o herod_n he_o be_v so_o delight_v with_o she_o that_o he_o give_v she_o this_o privilege_n to_o choose_v what_o she_o will_v to_o the_o half_a of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o she_o ask_v the_o head_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n she_o be_v bad_a and_o her_o choice_n be_v bad_a not_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o her_o heart_n but_o when_o fsther_n have_v her_o choice_n she_o choose_v the_o contrary_a for_o she_o choose_v the_o freedom_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n in_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o jew_n she_o act_v not_o as_o the_o other_o do_v because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n can_v do_v as_o other_o do_v i_o may_v instance_n in_o moses_n also_o he_o will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o for_o say_v he_o i_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n heb._n 11.25_o and_o why_o do_v he_o thus_o but_o only_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n second_o as_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o choice_n so_o neither_o will_v they_o do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n for_o what_o say_v joshua_n as_o for_o i_o and_o my_o household_n we_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n josh_n 24.15_o do_v you_o what_o you_o please_v therefore_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o sincerity_n and_o truth_n and_o put_v away_o the_o god_n which_o your_o father_n serve_v or_o the_o god_n of_o amorites_n in_o who_o land_n you_o dwell_v but_o as_o for_o i_o and_o my_o household_n we_o will_v serve_v the_o

get_v riches_n and_o honour_n and_o estate_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n no_o great_a advantage_n will_v make_v a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n to_o do_v as_o other_o do_v he_o say_v always_o other_o do_v so_o and_o so_o but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n four_o a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n can_v do_v as_o other_o can_v do_v in_o the_o matter_n wherein_o he_o be_v entrust_v you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o the_o spy_n caleb_n bring_v a_o good_a report_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n because_o he_o fear_v god_n but_o so_o do_v not_o the_o other_o five_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n can_v do_v as_o other_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o affliction_n a_o man_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n can_v love_v god_n in_o

so_o do_v not_o the_o wicked_a man_n because_o he_o fear_v not_o god_n six_o as_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o good_a man_n and_o a_o wicked_a man_n or_o between_o one_o that_o
