so_o secure_o in_o the_o way_n eleven_o there_o flow_v from_o this_o grace_n of_o fear_n hope_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o in_o they_o than_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n psal._n 147.11_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o text_n be_v a_o explanation_n of_o the_o former_a as_o if_o the_o psalmist_n have_v say_v they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v the_o lord_n even_o they_o that_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n for_o true_a fear_n produce_v hope_n in_o god_n mercy_n and_o it_o be_v further_o manifest_v thus_o fear_v true_a fear_n of_o god_n incline_v the_o heart_n to_o a_o serious_a enquiry_n after_o that_o way_n of_o salvation_n with_o god_n himself_o have_v prescribe_v now_o the_o way_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v by_o the_o which_o the_o sinner_n be_v to_o obtain_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n be_v his_o mercy_n as_o so_o and_o so_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o word_n and_o godly_a fear_n have_v special_a regard_n to_o the_o word_n to_o this_o way_n therefore_o the_o sinner_n with_o this_o godly_a fear_n submit_v his_o soul_n roll_v himself_o upon_o it_o and_o so_o be_v deliver_v from_o that_o death_n into_o which_o other_o for_o want_n of_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v headlong_o fall_v it_o be_v as_o i_o also_o hint_v before_o the_o nature_n of_o godly_a fear_n to_o be_v very_o much_o put_v the_o soul_n upon_o the_o enquiry_n which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n approve_v of_o god_n and_o according_o to_o embrace_v it_o or_o shun_v it_o now_o i_o say_v this_o fear_n have_v put_v the_o soul_n upon_o a_o strict_a and_o serious_a enquiry_n after_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n at_o lest_o it_o find_v it_o to_o be_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n therefore_o this_o fear_n put_v the_o soul_n upon_o hope_v also_o in_o he_o for_o eternal_a life_n and_o blessedness_n by_o which_o hope_n he_o do_v not_o only_o secure_a soul_n but_o become_v a_o person_n of_o god_n delight_n the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o in_o they_o that_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n beside_o this_o godly_a fear_n carry_v in_o it_o self-evidence_n that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v happy_a because_o possess_v with_o this_o happy_a grace_n therefore_o as_o john_n say_v we_o know_v we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n 1_o john_n 3.14_o so_o here_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o in_o they_o that_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n if_o i_o fear_v god_n and_o if_o my_o fear_v of_o he_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o which_o he_o take_v such_o pleasure_n then_o may_v i_o bold_o venture_v to_o roll_v myself_o eternal_a life_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o mercy_n which_o be_v christ._n thus_o fear_v also_o produce_v hope_n if_o therefore_o poor_a sinner_n thou_o know_v thyself_o to_o be_v one_o that_o be_v possess_v with_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v persuade_v therefore_o to_o hope_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o salvation_n for_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o thou_o and_o it_o delight_v he_o to_o see_v thou_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n twelve_o there_o flow_v from_o this_o godly_a fear_n of_o god_n a_o honest_a and_o conscientious_a use_n of_o all_o those_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v conversant_a in_o for_o our_o attain_n salvation_n faith_n and_o hope_n in_o god_n mercy_n be_v that_o which_o secure_v our_o justification_n and_o hope_n and_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v they_o do_v flow_v from_o this_o fear_n but_o now_o beside_o faith_n and_o hope_n there_o be_v a_o course_n of_o life_n in_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v we_o to_o have_v our_o conversation_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o eternal_a life_n you_o have_v your_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n and_o again_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n not_o that_o faith_n and_o hope_n be_v deficient_a if_o they_o be_v right_a but_o they_o be_v both_o of_o they_o counterfeit_v when_o not_o attend_v with_o a_o reverend_a use_n of_o all_o the_o mean_n upon_o the_o reverend_a use_n of_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v put_v by_o this_o grace_n of_o fear_n wherefore_o belove_v say_v paul_n as_o you_o have_v always_o obey_v not_o as_o in_o my_o presence_n only_o but_o now_o much_o more_o in_o my_o absence_n work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a rom._n 6.22_o heb._n 12.14_o philip._n 2.12_o there_o be_v a_o faith_n and_o hope_n of_o mercy_n that_o may_v deceive_v a_o man_n though_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_v and_o the_o hope_n that_o purify_v the_o heart_n never_o will_v because_o they_o be_v alone_o and_o not_o attend_v with_o those_o companion_n that_o accompany_v salvation_n heb._n 6.3_o 4_o 5_o 7_o 8._o but_o now_o this_o godly_a fear_n carry_v in_o its_o bowel_n not_o only_o a_o move_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o faith_n and_o hope_n in_o god_n mercy_n but_o a_o earnest_a provocation_n to_o the_o holy_a and_o reverend_a use_n of_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o a_o man_n to_o have_v his_o conversation_n in_o in_o order_n to_o his_o eternal_a salvation_n work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n not_o that_o work_n be_v meritorious_a or_o such_o that_o can_v purchase_v eternal_a life_n for_o eternal_a life_n be_v obtain_v by_o hope_n in_o god_n mercy_n but_o this_o hope_n if_o it_o be_v right_a be_v attend_v with_o this_o godly_a fear_n which_o fear_n put_v the_o soul_n upon_o a_o diligent_a use_n of_o all_o those_o mean_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o strengthen_n of_o hope_n and_o so_o to_o the_o make_v of_o we_o holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n that_o we_o may_v be_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n for_o hope_n purify_v the_o heart_n if_o fear_v of_o god_n shall_v be_v its_o companion_n and_o so_o make_v a_o man_n a_o vessel_n of_o mercy_n prepare_v unto_o glory_n paul_n bid_v timothy_n to_o fly_v pride_n covetousness_n dote_a about_o question_n and_o the_o like_a and_o to_o follow_v after_o righteousness_n godliness_n faith_n love_n patience_n to_o fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o eternal_a life_n 1_o

neither_o be_v barren_a nor_o unfruitful_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o the_o rather_o brethren_n give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n

there_o flow_v from_o this_o fear_n this_o godly_a fear_n a_o great_a delight_n in_o the_o holy_a command_n of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o delight_n to_o be_v conformable_a unto_o they_o bless_a be_v
