whosoever_o do_v fear_n god_n will_v honour_v the_o king_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n not_o only_o because_o it_o stand_v first_o in_o my_o text_n but_o also_o because_o it_o be_v in_o order_n of_o nature_n the_o true_a and_o only_a sure_a foundation_n of_o the_o other_o all_o duty_n towards_o man_n when_o sincere_o pay_v must_v have_v their_o

the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n matth._n xxii_o 37_o 38._o that_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o teach_v we_o hereby_o that_o we_o can_v never_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o we_o shall_v do_v except_o first_o we_o most_o entire_o love_v god_n the_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n can_v only_o sweeten_v and_o influence_n our_o soul_n into_o a_o universal_a charity_n and_o proportionable_o in_o the_o present_a case_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n can_v alone_o implant_v in_o our_o heart_n universal_a and_o invariable_a loyalty_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v see_v how_o vicious_a man_n can_v be_v true_a loyalist_n natural_a love_n education_n interest_n fear_v and_o other_o like_a cause_n may_v beget_v and_o nourish_v a_o short_a temporary_a and_o
