if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n fear_v in_o the_o former_a sense_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o tyrant_n or_o a_o hard_a master_n so_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o love_n cast_v it_o out_o especial_o a_o evangelical_n one_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v love_v god_n or_o willing_o keep_v his_o commandment_n who_o have_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o he_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v affirm_v of_o he_o who_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o lord_n and_o a_o father_n but_o withal_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o for_o beside_o that_o such_o a_o fear_n be_v enjoin_v we_o by_o he_o who_o do_v also_o lay_v upon_o we_o the_o command_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v think_v unless_o we_o will_v make_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n contradict_v itself_o to_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o that_o love_n which_o he_o require_v there_o be_v nothing_o of_o torment_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n here_o assign_v if_o in_o our_o fear_n we_o look_v upon_o god_n but_o as_o a_o good_a and_o gracious_a one_o for_o though_o that_o may_v make_v we_o careful_a and_o wary_a yet_o not_o distress_v and_o desperate_a the_o consideration_n of_o his_o goodness_n buoy_v we_o up_o when_o we_o be_v surround_v with_o his_o judgement_n and_o make_v we_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o have_v a_o apprehension_n of_o they_o to_o look_v up_o to_o his_o mercy_n and_o to_o love_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o they_o the_o same_o answer_n with_o a_o very_a little_a variation_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o that_o difference_n which_o be_v object_v between_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o law_n for_o though_o the_o gospel_n reckon_v we_o not_o in_o the_o place_n of_o servant_n and_o

he_o that_o be_v their_o parent_n which_o answer_n be_v the_o more_o reasonable_a because_o the_o scripture_n itself_o represent_v those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o first_o covenant_n as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n and_o such_o as_o be_v therefore_o slave_n themselves_o but_o those_o under_o the_o second_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o free_a to_o who_o therefore_o though_o it_o do_v no_o way_n appertain_v to_o entertain_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o those_o fear_n wherewith_o it_o be_v accompany_v yet_o to_o preserve_v such_o a_o reverential_a regard_n for_o the_o

1._o now_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o judgement_n be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o unto_o christ_n may_v appear_v from_o that_o great_a

man_n shall_v be_v draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n and_o affect_v he_o who_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o their_o inclination_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n

holiness_n of_o god_n have_v yet_o as_o many_o of_o they_o be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n and_o so_o not_o very_o likely_a to_o be_v acceptable_a so_o which_o be_v more_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bestow_v or_o at_o least_o not_o with_o any_o certainty_n or_o perfection_n till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o other_o world_n and_o who_o then_o natural_o speak_v will_v quit_v present_a and_o sensual_a enjoyment_n for_o they_o and_o leave_v a_o love_n which_o he_o be_v sure_a of_o for_o so_o uncertain_a and_o remote_a a_o mistress_n to_o induce_v man_n therefore_o to_o quit_v their_o so_o much_o belove_v transgression_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o stir_v up_o their_o fear_n and_o make_v they_o see_v that_o what_o they_o pursue_v will_v rob_v they_o of_o what_o they_o love_v and_o make_v they_o miserable_a as_o well_o in_o their_o body_n as_o their_o soul_n and_o indeed_o as_o it_o rare_o happen_v that_o man_n be_v reclaim_v from_o their_o evil_a course_n but_o by_o some_o such_o disgustful_a mean_n so_o which_o be_v of_o much_o more_o force_n we_o find_v the_o apostle_n take_v this_o course_n in_o convert_v the_o unbelieving_a world_n represent_v to_o they_o first_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o the_o wrath_n they_o have_v incur_v and_o then_o the_o tender_v of_o god_n goodness_n by_o that_o mean_v not_o only_o abate_v of_o their_o heat_n towards_o their_o former_a extravagancy_n but_o even_o constrain_a they_o to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o beauty_n of_o religion_n which_o otherwise_o they_o will_v never_o have_v consider_v 2._o but_o beside_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v of_o singular_a use_n in_o bring_v man_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o god_n it_o be_v also_o such_o after_o our_o conversion_n to_o he_o yea_o throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n and_o here_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o apostle_n persuade_v even_o such_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o exhort_v they_o to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o to_o serve_v god_n acceptable_o with_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o propose_v to_o your_o consideration_n the_o remain_v of_o that_o evil_a nature_n which_o be_v in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o we_o and_o how_o much_o more_o than_o in_o the_o generality_n of_o believer_n for_o these_o will_v show_v it_o to_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o way_n as_o it_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o into_o it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o grace_n do_v at_o once_o purify_v the_o heart_n from_o all_o extravagancy_n if_o it_o take_v away_o both_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o affection_n to_o they_o last_o if_o it_o put_v we_o into_o the_o condition_n we_o be_v in_o when_o we_o be_v create_v and_o make_v we_o entire_o and_o perfect_o new_a creature_n so_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o our_o leader_n when_o only_o draw_v by_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_o god_n think_v not_o that_o enough_o to_o preserve_v adam_n in_o his_o innocency_n but_o add_v moreover_o the_o terror_n of_o die_v the_o death_n if_o he_o persist_v not_o in_o it_o but_o when_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o though_o sin_n be_v wound_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_o mortify_v when_o there_o be_v remain_v of_o corruption_n in_o the_o very_o best_a of_o we_o who_o can_v think_v even_o the_o regenerate_a man_n to_o be_v so_o good_a nature_a as_o not_o to_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o terror_n to_o nip_v those_o bud_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o unrighteousness_n for_o beside_o that_o under_o such_o circumstance_n all_o the_o method_n of_o god_n be_v little_a enough_o to_o restrain_v we_o experience_n show_v that_o of_o fear_n to_o be_v often_o needful_a carelessness_n and_o wantonness_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v we_o forget_v the_o obligation_n of_o goodness_n and_o not_o only_o to_o forget_v but_o to_o despise_v they_o but_o when_o beside_o the_o obligation_n of_o god_n goodness_n man_n have_v always_o before_o their_o eye_n the_o strictness_n of_o his_o justice_n when_o they_o consider_v as_o well_o what_o vengeance_n will_v pursue_v they_o if_o they_o go_v astray_o as_o how_o great_a encouragement_n they_o have_v to_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n which_o god_n have_v mark_v out_o to_o they_o then_o i_o say_v even_o flesh_n and_o blood_n will_v startle_v at_o the_o evil_a that_o present_v itself_o and_o avoid_v it_o lest_o it_o become_v miserable_a by_o it_o have_v thus_o show_v both_o what_o the_o passion_n of_o fear_n be_v and_o how_o god_n be_v the_o object_n of_o it_o together_o with_o the_o consistency_n of_o that_o fear_n with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o usefulness_n thereof_o both_o in_o our_o conversion_n to_o and_o walk_v with_o god_n i_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v say_v enough_o not_o only_o to_o excite_v that_o

love_v for_o how_o hardly_o be_v we_o bring_v to_o pant_v after_o that_o presence_n of_o he_o though_o we_o find_v little_a on_o earth_n to_o make_v we_o desirous_a of_o continuance_n in_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v a_o long_a and_o irksome_a sickness_n as_o if_o this_o life_n with_o all_o the_o misfortune_n that_o attend_v it_o be_v preferable_a to_o his_o presence_n where_o there_o be_v

no_o slave_n be_v more_o obsequious_a than_o a_o lover_n be_v where_o his_o love_n be_v hearty_a and_o intense_a and_o according_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o stick_v to_o affirm_v that_o he_o

to_o say_v that_o no_o other_o can_v be_v expect_v when_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o opposition_n between_o we_o and_o god_n for_o beside_o that_o such_o be_v the_o lustre_n of_o god_n goodness_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v due_o consider_v it_o can_v but_o be_v some_o way_n affect_v with_o it_o we_o can_v but_o know_v that_o it_o be_v our_o own_o viciousness_n which_o make_v the_o opposition_n

of_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man._n i_o will_v not_o at_o the_o first_o either_o take_v so_o much_o for_o grant_v or_o attempt_v the_o probation_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v say_v concern_v this_o particular_a be_v best_o to_o be_v learn_v by_o a_o leisurely_o and_o gradual_a procedure_n it_o shall_v suffice_v now_o in_o the_o entrance_n of_o my_o discourse_n to_o affirm_v that_o more_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o decalogue_n or_o ten_o commandment_n than_o be_v express_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o for_o first_o all_o that_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v

more_o than_o the_o reject_v of_o false_a god_n yet_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n preface_v this_o prohibition_n with_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o the_o prohibition_n itself_o manifest_o imply_v the_o have_v of_o he_o for_o our_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o god_n save_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n before_o i_o his_o meaning_n be_v as_o well_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v he_o for_o our_o god_n as_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o other_o god_n beside_o again_o when_o the_o have_v of_o any_o one_o for_o our_o god_n imply_v the_o fear_v and_o love_v and_o honour_v he_o that_o be_v so_o according_a to_o his_o several_a attribute_n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o command_v we_o to_o have_v he_o and_o no_o other_o for_o our_o god_n he_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o command_v also_o that_o we_o shall_v fear_v and_o love_n and_o honour_v he_o and_o he_o alone_o though_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v express_v in_o it_o but_o then_o if_o the_o law_n be_v consider_v not_o only_o as_o propose_v by_o moses_n but_o as_o illustrate_v and_o enlarge_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n in_o which_o capacity_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n we_o ought_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o because_o as_o such_o a_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a law_n so_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o many_o thing_n be_v comprehend_v in_o it_o which_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o but_o because_o when_o i_o show_v what_o thing_n be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n beside_o what_o be_v express_v in_o the_o letter_n i_o shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n show_v that_o something_o else_o be_v therefore_o supersede_v any_o far_a proof_n of_o that_o as_o altogether_o unnecessary_a i_o will_v proceed_v to_o the_o

that_o principal_o of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n contain_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o if_o true_a it_o will_v follow_v 1._o that_o the_o negative_a in_o every_o commandment_n do_v include_v the_o affirmative_a and_o that_o when_o god_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o the_o like_a his_o meaning_n be_v not_o only_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v no_o injury_n to_o our_o neighbour_n person_n or_o estate_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v and_o do_v he_o good_a in_o both_o now_o that_o our_o saviour_n intend_v those_o great_a commandment_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o as_o a_o abstract_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o consequent_o that_o what_o

those_o evil_n and_o harm_n such_o as_o adultery_n theft_n and_o the_o like_a whereby_o our_o neighbour_n be_v incommodate_v love_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o murder_n adultery_n and_o theft_n and_o

have_v more_o understand_v even_o not_o only_o that_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a but_o that_o it_o work_v all_o good_a to_o its_o neighbour_n which_o beside_o the_o usual_a form_n of_o speech_n in_o

be_v it_o be_v there_o say_v not_o only_o that_o the_o precept_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o the_o like_a but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o commandment_n it_o be_v brief_o comprehend_v in_o that_o say_n namely_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o command_n of_o honour_v our_o parent_n be_v because_o that_o be_v a_o precept_n of_o the_o

to_o require_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o do_v evil_a but_o to_o pursue_v the_o contrary_a good_a the_o argument_n be_v much_o more_o strong_a from_o the_o affirmative_a to_o the_o negative_a that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o the_o command_n of_o any_o positive_a duty_n to_o the_o forbid_v of_o the_o contrary_a vice_n for_o though_o for_o instance_n i_o may_v abstain_v from_o dishonour_v my_o
