it_o do_v not_o fear_n it_o value_v no_o evil_a in_o the_o creature_n nor_o any_o good_a in_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o afraid_a now_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o glorious_a and_o mighty_a

very_o strong_a look_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o boldness_n and_o courage_n and_o impudence_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o their_o sin_n the_o contrary_a be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o

be_v a_o notable_a passage_n we_o have_v in_o esther_n 7.5_o speaking_z concern_v haman_n say_v the_o king_n who_o be_v he_o and_o where_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v presume_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o

fill_n of_o the_o heart_n with_o evil_n make_v it_o bold_a and_o courageous_a in_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a so_o the_o fill_n of_o the_o heart_n with_o spiritual_a good_a make_v it_o forward_o in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a as_o it_o be_v observe_v concern_v steven_n after_o steven_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n how_o bold_a be_v he_o he_o can_v look_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o his_o

fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n be_v very_o fearful_a before_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o upon_o they_o but_o when_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a

have_v not_o see_v thy_o face_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o elijah_n double_a upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v bold_a as_o there_o be_v a_o plerophorie_n of_o

fetch_v of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o fullness_n we_o be_v full_a in_o the_o ten_o place_n faith_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o power_n to_o cause_n boldness_n and_o take_v off_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n because_o faith_n do_v acquaint_v a_o believer_n with_o the_o way_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o fear_n a_o believer_n come_v to_o have_v skill_n in_o the_o passage_n of_o god_n providence_n and_o his_o deal_n towards_o his_o people_n and_o thereby_o he_o come_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v god_n ordinary_a way_n to_o suffer_v the_o enemy_n of_o his_o people_n to_o rage_n against_o they_o and_o prevail_v against_o they_o and_o to_o have_v much_o power_n over_o they_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v his_o people_n and_o it_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o god_n have_v forsake_v they_o because_o of_o their_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o you_o know_v the_o scripture_n speak_v oftentimes_o of_o god_n lead_v his_o people_n through_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o water_n and_o that_o god_n will_v be_v with_o they_o there_o isa_n 43.2_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o choose_v his_o people_n and_o set_v his_o heart_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n when_o he_o intend_v the_o great_a good_a to_o his_o people_n he_o bring_v they_o through_o fire_n and_o water_n and_o set_v they_o in_o wealthy_a place_n psal_n 66.12_o and_o if_o one_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n way_n he_o do_v not_o fear_n if_o a_o soldier_n be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o the_o way_n of_o his_o general_n when_o he_o see_v he_o undertake_v great_a thing_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o danger_n he_o be_v afraid_a but_o one_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o way_n of_o his_o general_n how_o he_o will_v lay_v his_o stratagem_n and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v his_o way_n to_o go_v through_o such_o danger_n he_o be_v not_o afraid_a and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a carnal_a heart_n assoon_o as_o they_o see_v any_o danger_n they_o be_v afraid_a because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o understand_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o way_n towards_o his_o people_n when_o as_o the_o people_n of_o god_n know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o god_n to_o work_v good_a out_o of_o evil._n as_o luther_n say_v he_o do_v kill_v that_o he_o may_v quicken_v and_o cast_v down_o that_o he_o may_v raise_v up_o and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o in_o three_o or_o four_o line_n together_o but_o say_v he_o for_o to_o know_v this_o this_o be_v the_o art_n of_o art_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o knowledge_n very_o few_o do_v know_v and_o understand_v this_o way_n
be_v another_o matter_n if_o you_o have_v go_v through_o those_o fear_n and_o yet_o be_v bold_a but_o a_o believe_a soul_n may_v say_v yea_o lord_n the_o gate_n of_o death_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n have_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n make_v know_v to_o i_o and_o yet_o i_o be_o bold_a the_o prophet_n say_v in_o jer._n 17.17_o be_v not_o thou_o a_o terror_n to_o i_o for_o thou_o be_v my_o

of_o cannon_n and_o see_v the_o affright_a object_n and_o desperate_a thing_n that_o be_v there_o they_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o make_v afraid_a because_o they_o have_v be_v where_o terror_n have_v

from_o they_o will_v deliver_v from_o these_o four_o faith_n help_v against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n and_o all_o danger_n and_o evil_n by_o implant_n the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o soul_n where_o faith_n come_v as_o it_o bring_v all_o grace_n with_o it_o so_o it_o bring_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o disorderly_a fear_n in_o the_o world_n be_v for_o want_v of_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o fear_n of_o his_o wrath_n but_o that_o reverence_n that_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n as_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n that_o fear_v of_o god_n wherein_o a_o great_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n consist_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v possess_v with_o that_o other_o fear_n will_v vanish_v as_o in_o other_o affliction_n true_o spiritual_a joy_n will_v overcome_v carnal_a joy_n and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o cure_v carnal_a joy_n be_v to_o have_v the_o heart_n possess_v with_o spiritual_a joy_n many_o take_v content_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o they_o never_o come_v to_o have_v their_o carnal_a joy_n mortify_v till_o their_o soul_n be_v fill_v with_o spiritual_a joy_n and_o therefore_o though_o in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n they_o cry_v out_o against_o their_o carnal_a joy_n it_o be_v not_o mortify_v but_o they_o return_v to_o it_o again_o because_o they_o have_v only_o the_o conviction_n of_o conscience_n that_o their_o carnal_a joy_n be_v naught_o but_o have_v not_o a_o contrary_a stream_n to_o fill_v their_o heart_n and_o so_o for_o sorrow_n there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o mortify_v carnal_a sorrow_n as_o to_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n and_o so_o for_o desire_n no_o way_n to_o mortify_v sinful_a creature_n desire_n as_o to_o have_v desire_v sanctify_v for_o god_n as_o in_o other_o affliction_n so_o in_o that_o of_o fear_n no_o such_o way_n to_o mortify_v carnal_a sinful_a fear_n as_o to_o have_v the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n plant_v in_o the_o heart_n as_o moses_n when_o the_o rod_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n the_o magician_n turn_v their_o rod_n into_o serpent_n but_o the_o text_n say_v in_o exod._n 7.12_o that_o moses_n serpent_n do_v devour_v the_o magician_n serpent_n so_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o god_n to_o take_v up_o all_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o have_v no_o space_n for_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n as_o when_o god_n be_v true_o worship_v there_o he_o be_v only_o worship_v so_o when_o god_n be_v true_o fear_v there_o he_o be_v only_o fear_v and_o all_o other_o fear_n be_v in_o subordination_n to_o that_o where_o god_n be_v true_o fear_v nothing_o else_o be_v fear_v and_o indeed_o nothing_o else_o need_v be_v fear_v as_o where_o god_n be_v not_o fear_v no_o creature_n can_v help_v we_o so_o where_o god_n be_v fear_v no_o creature_n can_v hurt_v we_o in_o hosea_n 10.3_o because_o we_o fear_v not_o the_o lord_n what_o then_o shall_v a_o king_n do_v to_o we_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a because_o we_o fear_v the_o lord_n what_o then_o can_v a_o king_n what_o can_v all_o the_o power_n in_o the_o world_n do_v against_o we_o five_o faith_n do_v discover_v unto_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o have_v more_o with_o it_o than_o against_o it_o you_o know_v the_o prophet_n man_n be_v afraid_a when_o he_o see_v their_o enemy_n about_o they_o ready_a to_o apprehend_v they_o the_o prophet_n pray_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o to_o let_v he_o see_v in_o 2._o king_n 6.16.17_o there_o be_v more_o with_o he_o than_o against_o he_o so_o till_o a_o man_n eye_n be_v open_v by_o faith_n he_o may_v see_v many_o enemy_n against_o he_o to_o cause_v fear_n but_o when_o god_n do_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o see_v more_o with_o he_o than_o against_o he_o all_o fear_n be_v go_v it_o see_v all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n all_o the_o way_n of_o god_n providence_n all_o angel_n all_o creature_n work_v for_o the_o good_a of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o see_v more_o with_o it_o then_o against_o it_o if_o a_o child_n or_o

so_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n we_o see_v more_o with_o we_o than_o against_o we_o and_o that_o free_v from_o fear_n six_o faith_n keep_v from_o fear_n by_o bring_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o
