by_o what_o mean_v we_o may_v attain_v to_o this_o fear_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a fear_n the_o one_o be_v holy_a and_o good_a call_v filial_a or_o childish_a the_o other_o be_v bad_a and_o naught_o

through_o dread_n of_o punishment_n and_o power_n to_o torment_v they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v define_v thus_o be_v what_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v it_o be_v a_o reverence_n of_o god_n majesty_n in_o our_o heart_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v unwilling_a to_o offend_v he_o in_o any_o thing_n and_o most_o willing_a to_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n through_o the_o love_n which_o we_o bear_v
