May
it
please
your
H●●●urs
;
I
Prefix
your
worthy
&
great
names
afore
this
plain
and
unpolished
Discourse
:
not
that
I
intend
to
thrust
my
pen
into
any
quarrelsome
theam
,
that
may
provoke
the
fury
of
the
Dans
of
this
world
,
Gen.
49.17
that
serpent-like
lye
in
the
paths
,
to
bite
the
heele
of
every
passenger
;
betweene
whom
and
mee
,
I
should
intreat
your
Honors
as
a
screen
,
to
interpose
,
to
hide
me
from
their
rage
.
For
surely
,
no
Christian
hath
so
farre
changed
his
humanity
with
a
beast
,
or
cast
himselfe
so
many
degrees
behinde
the
purblinde
Gentiles
,
as
professedly
to
beare
armes
against
a
Booke
honoured
with
the
title
of
the
Feare
of
God
.
Neither
dare
I
over-weeningly
presume
,
that
there
is
any
thing
in
the
stile
or
conveyance
of
the
subject
in
hand
,
that
meriteth
an
admission
into
your
Honours
closets
,
much
lesse
into
the
Cabinet
of
your
more
serious
thoughts
,
or
that
may
attract
an
eye
of
favour
from
you
.
My
weekly
labouring
in
Gods
Harvest
,
forbids
pompe
in
language
,
and
ambition
of
quotation
.
Next
the
advancement
of
Gods
glory
(
which
as
our
ultimate
end
,
ought
to
regulate
,
moderate
,
stint
,
and
bound
our
actions
)
the
scope
that
I
levell
at
,
is
the
unfeigned
expression
of
my
gratitude
,
and
service
,
which
your
constant
countenance
,
your
undeserved
bounty
,
your
propitious
acceptance
of
my
meane
fore-past
labours
,
doth
more
than
challenge
from
me
,
who
desires
no
longer
to
draw
his
breath
,
than
hee
shall
study
to
approve
himselfe

The
Introduction
.
IT
is
the
triumph
of
this
Theologicall
vertue
of
the
Feare
of
God
,
that
those
who
have
least
affinitie
with
it
,
yet
applaud
it
,
and
professe
it
:
And
it
is
my
happinesse
,
that
nothing
can
commend
a
grace
,
that
is
not
with
advantage
excentred
in
this
.
If
I
should
here
declare
the
nobilitie
,
excellencie
,
and
transcendencie
of
the
feare
of
God
in
it selfe
;
and
the
utilitie
,
and
absolute
indispensable
necessitie
of
it
in
reference
to
us
,
I
should
but
fore-stall
and
prevent
my selfe
.
It
is
sufficient
to
premise
,
both
to
excuse
my
writing
,
&
to
provoke
all
Christians
advisedly
,
diligently
,
and
throughly
to
read
this
ensuing
discourse
:
that
,
though
many
have
briefe
essayes
,
yet
few
,
or
none
,
have
done
this
Royall
grace
the
honour
,
or
right
to
allot
unto
it
a
compleat
full
treatise
.
And
that
that
may
invite
alleyes
&
minds
hither
,
is
this
consideration
,
that
when
many
other
graces
are
peculiarly
pertinent
to
persons
,
as
they
are
members
of
a
family
in
the
threefold
combination
therin
;
between
husband
and
wife
,
parent
and
childe
,
master
and
servant
.
Or
as
they
are
members
of
a
politicke
body
,
ecclesiasticall
or
civill
.
And
when
other
duties
receive
specification
and
restriction
from
circumstances
of
time
&
place
,
this
of
the
feare
of
God
,
like
a
well
limbed
picture
,
casteth
an
eye
on
all
that
looke
on
it
.
It
corresponds
to
all
persons
,
none
excluded
.
It
is
seasonable
at
all
times
,
sacred
and
common
;
especially
when
the
scourges
of
God
lye
upon
neighbouring
Nations
,
and
threaten
us
.
And
the
thoughts
hereof
may
justly
in
all
places
,
presse
upon
us
,
without
being
guilty
of
unmannerly
instruction
.
Now
,
for
the
methodicall
contriving
of
this
discourse
,
I
shall
(
by
divine
assistance
)
pursue
that
order
that
may
most
aptly
answer
the
subject
matter
,
and
may
bee
most
facile
and
appliable
to
the
mindes
and
memories
of
the
Readers
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
nature
and
kindes
both
of
feare
in
generall
,
and
of
the
feare
of
God
in
particular
.
THE
first
inquiry
will
be
,
What
the
feare
of
God
is
.
Where
the
nature
and
kindes
both
of
feare
in
generall
,
and
in
particular
of
the
feare
of
God
,
will
opportunely
fall
in
.
Now
to
penetrate
the
depth
of
this
Quaere
,
we
must
distinguish
of
feare
.
1.
As
it
is
a
naturall
affection
indifferent
in
it selfe
;
neither
morally
good
,
nor
evill
.
2.
As
it
is
a
habit
or
qualitie
inherent
in
the
affection
.
If
we
consider
feare
as
it
is
a
naturall
affection
implanted
in
the
reasonable
Soule
of
man
,
indifferent
in
it selfe
,
neither
morally
good
nor
evill
:
Then
1.
The
nature
of
feare
.
For
the
generall
nature
of
it
,
it
1.
Either
stands
aloofe
,
at
some
distance
from
its
object
,
admiring
and
reverencing
it
:
Or
2.
It
is
averse
from
its
object
.
For
affections
are
of
two
sorts
,
Either
such
as
cleave
unto
,
and
desire
a
neere
union
with
their
object
,
as
faith
,
love
,
and
hope
:
or
such
as
turne
from
,
and
desire
a
perpetual
separation
from
their
object
,
as
hatred
,
and
some
kinde
of
feare
.
2
The
subject
of
feare
.
2.
If
we
looke
into
the
subject
,
wherein
this
affection
of
feare
is
implanted
,
it
will
bee
found
to
reside
,
1.
In
the
sensitive
appetite
:
for
there
is
a
rationall
appetite
,
and
that
is
the
will
that
usually
followes
the
dictate
the
guidance
of
the
understanding
.
And
there
is
an
inferior
sensitive
appetite
,
which
containes
within
its
verge
,
the
passions
,
perturbations
,
or
affections
,
which
oft
runne
afore
the
understanding
and
the
will
;
being
more
rash
,
precipitant
,
and
head-strong
;
and
one
of
these
affections
is
feare
.
2.
There
is
a
double
facultie
in
the
sensitive
appetite
;
namely
,
the
concupiscible
facultie
which
lookes
on
the
object
under
the
notion
of
good
or
evill
.
To
which
head
the
affections
of
love
,
joy
,
and
griefe
are
referred
.
The
other
is
called
the
Irascible
facultie
,
which
lookes
on
the
object
under
the
notion
of
difficultie
;
to
which
head
are
to
bee
reduced
,
hope
,
which
lookes
on
a
good
hard
to
bee
obtained
;
and
feare
that
lookes
on
some
evill
,
hard
to
bee
avoyded
.
This
is
the
subject
wherein
feare
dwels
.
3.
The
object
of
feare
3.
For
the
object
of
feare
,
it
is
1.
Sometimes
something
good
,
which
we
esteem
,
&
feare
to
lose
.
2.
Sometimes
it
is
something
that
is
great
and
potent
,
which
we
feare
to
offend
.
3.
Sometimes
it
is
something
full
of
Majestie
,
excellencie
,
and
glory
,
which
wee
feare
with
a
reverential
feare
,
with
a
feare
of
observance
.
4.
Sometimes
it
is
something
evill
:
that
is
,
either
that
which
is
evill
in
it selfe
;
in
its
owne
nature
,
or
that
which
seemes
to
us
to
be
evill
;
or
that
which
may
prove
perniicous
&
prejudiciall
unto
us
.
And
the
evill
which
we
feare
is
,
1.
Future
,
to
come
,
wee
are
troubled
for
those
things
that
may
come
to
passe
.
Math.
24.6
.
If
an
evill
be
present
,
we
feele
it
,
we
hate
it
,
we
grieve
under
it
:
if
it
bee
to
come
,
we
feare
it
.
2.
As
the
obiect
of
feare
is
the
futurity
of
evill
:
so
also
the
propinquitie
and
imminencie
of
it
.
We
feare
that
evill
most
,
that
hangs
over
our
heads
,
ready
to
seize
us
:
that
like
a
mastive
lies
at
the
doore
,
Gen.

7.
waiting
but
the
opening
thereof
,
that
he
might
flye
in
our
faces
.
Therefore
to
affright
men
from
envie
and
malice
,
Saint
Iames
sayth
,
that
the
Iudge
stands
afore
the
doores
.
Iames
5.9
.
3.
The
obiect
of
feare
is
as
the
nearenesse
,
so
the
unavoy
dablenesse
,
the
unresistablenesse
of
evill
;
evill
,
that
like
the
travaile
of
a
woman
,
2
Thes.
5.3
cannot
be
escaped
.
Wee
see
what
the
affection
of
feare
is
.
Next
,
we
must
consider
feare
as
it
is
a
habit
,
or
qualitie
inherent
in
the
affection
.
And
so
feare
is
either
morall
or
spirituall
.
Morall
feate
.
Morall
feare
,
is
eitherthat
vertue
that
is
opposite
to
audaciousnesse
,
where
by
we
feare
and
shun
those
things
that
are
contradictory
to
the
principles
of
morall
vertue
and
rectisied
reason
.
Or
else
it
is
taken
for
that
feare
that
wee
call
Pusillanimity
,
that
is
contrary
to
fortitude
or
magnanimity
:
when
a
man
is
so
timorous
,
that
as
Salomon
speakes
of
the
sluggard
,
he
cries
when
hee
is
put
upon
any
action
that
there
is
a
Lion
in
the
way
:
When
a
man
feares
more
the
shew
and
shadow
of
evill
,
than
the
evill
it selfe
;
as
children
feare
more
the
vizor
,
than
the
man
:
when
a
man
feares
that
least
,
that
he
should
feare
most
;
and
that
most
,
that
hee
should
feare
least
.
As
our
brainlesse
Duellers
feare
more
the
losse
of
reputation
,
when
it
may
be
they
never
had
any
,
than
they
feare
the
losse
of
their
soules
.
And
therefore
wise-men
know
such
single
combatants
to
bee
the
grossest
cowards
,
because
they
in
such
a
degree
,
feare
a
crosse
word
,
or
the
giving
of
the
lye
.
And
cowards
are
most
cruel
,
for
they
will
bee
sure
to
kill
,
if
they
can
,
lest
their
enemy
surviving
them
,
should
after
be
revenged
upon
them
.
This
is
morall
feare
.
Spirituall
feare
.
2.
What
spirituall
feare
is
,
wee
shall
perceive
by
two
or
three
profitable
distinctions
,
which
doe
reflect
one
upon
another
;
and
con
tribute
mutuall
light
each
to
other
,
and
all
of
them
doe
illustrate
the
matter
in
hand
.
The
first
distinction
.
The
first
distinction
is
,
that
spirituall
feare
is
five-fold
.
1.
The
feare
of
a
guiltie
conscience
.
2.
The
feare
of
a
seave
.
3.
The
feare
of
a
servant
.
4.
The
feare
of
a
son
.
5.
The
feare
of
a
chaste
and
a
loving
Wife
.
There
is
a
spirituall
feare
proceeding
from
a
selfe-accusing
conscience
,
that
is
like
the
feare
of
a
Felon
,
either
ready
to
be
apprehended
,
or
standing
at
the
barre
afore
his
Iudge
:
when
a
man
onely
feares
GOD
as
his
Iudge
,
or
as
his
executioner
.
And
this
feare
is
ioyned
with
a
hatred
of
God
,
and
with
a
secret
wish
,
that
there
were
no
God
to
condemne
us
.
And
this
feare
is
lively
and
graphically
exprest
in
holy
Scripture
.
It
was
in
Adam
after
his
defection
,
He
hid
him
for
feare
among
the
Trees
of
the
Garden
.
Gen.
3.8
.
It
was

His
guilty
feare
presented
him
with
troopes
of
men
,
when
there
were
none
almost
besides
himselfe
in
the
world
;
and
with

,
when
he
could

This

the

to

his
restlesse

of

,
and
to
Prometheus
his

,
which
without

,
gnawd
upon
his
heart
.
2.
There
is
a
slavish
feare
;
when
a
man
feares
God
as
a
Gally-slave
feares
him
that
tooke
him
captive
,
whom
he
would
kill
,
or
flie
from
,
if
he
could
or
durst
.
When
a
man
counts
the
commandements
of
God
to
be
bonds
&
fetters
,
which
they
would
faine
shake
off
;
like
those
that
cried
,
Let
us
breake
his
bonds
,
Psal.
2.3
.
and
cast
his
cords
from
us
:
When
a
man
hates
to
bee
reformed
,
Psa.
50.17
.
like
those
the
Psalmist
speaks
of
.
When
a
man
hates
God
,
Psal.
139.21
.
(
and
such
there
are
)
&
yet
sometimes
subjects
to
Gods
command
,
because
hee
dares
doe
no
other
;
As
King
Abimelech
would
have
taken
to
himselfe
Sarah
,
Abrahams
wife
:
but
that
hee
durst
not
,
because
God
told
him
in
a
dreame
,
that
if
hee
did
,
Gen.
20.3
.
hee
was
but
a
dead
man
.
And
Balaam
wold
faine
have
cursed
the
people
of
God
,
at
King
Balaks
request
,
but
that
hee
durst
not
,
though
Balak
would
have
given
him
his
house
full
of
silver
&
gold
.
Num.
24.13
.
Thus
the
Divell
himselfe
is
Gods
slave
,
&
in
many
things
obeyes
God
,
because
hee
dares
not
disobey
him
.

that
thus
feare

as

they
turne

Greg.
but
not
to
faithfulnesse
.
When
the
feare
onely
of
punishment
instigates
a
man
to
good
;
in
this
he
offends
,
because
hee
would
commit
that
evill
,
which
hee
doth
forbeare
,
if
his
Impietie
might
bee
with
impunity
.
This
is
that
feare
,
which
Divines
use
to
call
servile
feare
;
and
Saint
Basil
stiles
an
hostile
feare
;
Hic
timor
pe●candi
sacultatem
disserre
potest
,
ausorre
non
potest
:
&
quos
suspendit
a
crimine
avidicres

ad
crimen
.
Chrys.
the
feare
of
an
enemy
to
God
.
And
in
this
it
differs
from
the
feare
of
an
accusing
conscience
,
because
that
feare
reflects
upon
an
evil
already
committed
:
this
feare
prevents
the
commission
of
many
sinnes
.
The
feare
of
a
selfe
accusing
conscience
,
is
a
slavish
feare
;
but
every
slavish
feare
is
not
the
feare
of
a
self-accusing
conscience
.
There
is
the
feare
of
a
servant
,
which
is
different
from
what
they
call
servile
,
or
slavish
feare
.
For
though
every
slave
be
a
servant
,
yet
every
servant
is
not
a
slave
.
And
though
the
feare
of
a
servant
be
not
so
good
as
the
feare
of
a
sonne
,
yet
is
better
than
the
feare
of
a
slave
.
The
slavish
feare
is
mixt
with
a
hatred
of
God
;
but
this
feare
is
mixed
with
some
small
degree
of
the
love
of
God
.
That
drives
a
man
from
God
,
this
drawes
a
man
to
God
:
Mar.
5.33
.
as
that
woman
that
trembled
,
yet
came
to
Christ
,
and
fell
downe
before
him
.
This
feare
is
,
when
a
man
having
well
studied
the
Law
of
GOD
,
and
compared
his
heart
and
life
with
that
perfect
rule
,
sees
himselfe
fall
infinitely
short
of
it
,
and
therupon
acknowledges
himselfe
liable
to
all
the
curses
of
God
,
due
to
the
disobedient
;
and
utterly
disclaimes
all
helpe
,
or
worthinesse
of
helpe
in
himselfe
;
and
stands
,
like
a
man
over
a
Vault
of
Gunpowder
,
the
match
being
ready
to
bee
put
to
the
traine
,
and
sees
no
safety
,
but
in
Gods
mercie
,
and
Christs
merites
,
which
yet
hee
is
fearefull
to
apply
to
himselfe
,
lest
hee
should
have
no
interest
in
them
.
This
feare
is
,
though
imperfect
,
yet
allowable
,
and
necessarie
.
Rom.
8.15
.
Yee
have
not
(
sayes
Saint
Paul
)
received
the
spirit
of
bondage
to
feare
again
:
whence
note
,
that
they
had
afore
received
the
spirit
of
bondage
to
feare
.
This
feare
wee
call
an
initiall
feare
;
and
every
thing
must
have
a
beginning
.
The
Law
by
stirring
up
this
feare
,
Gal.
3.24
.
is
a
Schoolemaster
to
lead
us
to
Christ
.
It
is
like
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
who
prepared
the
way
of
the
Lord
.
Like
the
Needle
,
that
though
of
it selfe
it
sewes
not
,
yet
it
leads
the
way
to
the
thread
that
doth
sew
.
The
compunction
of
this
feare
delivers
up
the
Soule
to
the
kindly
impression
of
love
.

And
through
this
feare
of
a
servant
wee
must
passe
to
the
feare
of
sonnes
;
and
it
is
one
and
the
same
Spirit
of
God
,
that
workes
both
these
feares
in
us
:
and
the
one
as
〈◊〉
preparative
to
the
other
.
4.
There
is
a
Filiall
feare
,
which
though
it
be
joyned
with
a
greater
degree
of
love
than
is
in
a
servant
,
yet
with
a
lesse
degree
of
love
than
is
in
a
loyall
wise
.
This
Childe-like
feare
,
1.
Stands
in
awe
of
God
for
his
excellencie
,
and
transcendent
glory
,
though
it
expect
no
evill
from
God
,
but
good
.
It
will
keepe
a
wary
distance
,
and
not
be
over-daringly
bold
.
When
God
hath
given
Iacob
faire
promises
in
his
sleepe
;
yet
awaking
he
was
a
fraid
,
and
sayd
,
How
dreadfull
is
this
place
!
Gen.
28.16.17
.
This
is
no
other
than
the
house
of
God
:
This
is
the
gate
of
Heaven
.
And
this
is
called
,
a
fearing
before
,
Eccles.
8.12
.
or
in
the
presence
of
God
.
As
when
a
man
stands
afore
his
Prince
,
his
Majestie
strikes
a
trembling
awe
into
him
;
though
otherwise
hee
have
no
reason
to
bee
afrayd
,
his
conscience
bearing
him
witnesse
,
that
hee
hath
not
any
way
willingly
incur'd
his
Princes
displeasure
.
This
is
the
feare
of
reverence
.
2.
As
this
filiall
feare
is
Reverentiall
:
so
it
is
Carefull
,
that
God
our
heavenly
Father
,
may
no
way
bee
displeased
by
us
,
not
only
because
that
Gods
displeasure
may
showre
downe
in
punishments
upon
us
;
but
because
he
is
our
Father
,
whom
wee
have
a
tender
care
to
please
,
he
having
deserved
the
flower
of
our
affection
,
and
service
.
Psal.
130.4
.
There
is
mercie
with
thee
that
thou
mayst
bee
feared
,
sayth
David
.
5.
And
lastly
,
there
is
the
feare
of
a
loving
and
loyall
wife
:
when
a
man
feares
God
,
as
a
kinde
wife
feares
an
indulgent
husband
.
And
this
I
make
to
differ
from
filiall
feare
,
not
in
kinde
,
but
in
degree
.
This
Conjugall
feare
is
matched
with
an
unspeakable
melting
love
,
and
a
constant
care
that
no
unkindnesse
happen
.
A
sonne
may
expresse
his
love
,
but
not
in
that
height
as
a
wife
may
.
And
though
the
wife
bee
without
servile
feare
,
yet
shee
exceedes
the
sonne
in
a
fearfull
(
but
loving
)
Care
,
that
her
husband
bee
not
displeased
,
that
affection
between
them
may
not
grow
dull
and
remisse
;
that
there
may
be
no
cause
given
,
that
may
occasion
so
much
as
a
frowne
,
or
a
crosse
word
,
much
lesse
a
separation
.
Saint
Augustine
sweetly
sets
this
forth
,
in
comparing
servile
and
filiall
feare
of
God
,
with
a
harlots
and
a
good
wives
feare
of
their
husbands
One
feares
left
her
husband
should
come
home
;
Illa
timet
ne
venit
,
illa
ne
discedat
:
illa
ne
dam●et
,
illa
ne
d●
serat
.
the
other
feares
lest
her
husband
should
depart
from
her
,
though
for
a
small
time
.
The
one
feares
lest
her
husband
should
chide
or
strike
her
,
the
other
feares
lest
hee
should
forsake
her
.
To
which
I
may
adde
,
the
one
feares
lest
her
husband
should
be
angry
with
her
;
the
other
feares
lest
hee
should
be
angry
at
all
.
The
one
feares
her
owne
vexation
,
the
other
feares
her
husbands
disquiet
.
This
is
the
genuine
true
bred
feare
of
God
;
which
S.
Paul
makes
a
signe
of
true
repentance
,
2
Cor.
7.11
.
never
to
bee
repented
of
.
What
carefulnesse
hath
it
wrought
in
you
?
yea
,
what
feare
?
that
is
,
what
care
,
what
feare
,
that
the
glory
of
God
may
not
suffer
through
you
.
And
so
much
for
the
first
distinction
;
where
in
,
under
severall
resemblances
I
have
shadowed
out
but
two
feares
in
effect
,
the
slavish
and
the
filiall
feare
of
God
:
though
they
obtaine
severall
names
by
reason
of
their
different
degrees
,
and
extents
of
their
operations
.
The
second
distinction
The
second
distinction
is
this
,
that
there
is
a
forced
feare
,
and
a
voluntary
feare
of
God
.
1.
The
forced
is
the
guilty
,
the
slavish
feare
.
For
he
that
is
possessed
with
it
,
labours
to
drive
it
away
;
to
drown
it
with
drinking
,
merriment
,
joviall
company
,
vaine
discourse
,
or
obscene
songs
:
as
the
ancient
Italians
would
confound
the
noyce
of
thunder
with
the
sound
of
Bells
.
This
was
Belshazzars
feare
,
Dan.
5.5.6
.
when
God
sent
a
hand
to
write
his
doome
upon
the
wall
afore
his
face
;
hee
would
faine
have
continued
his
mirth
,
but
it
would
not
be
:
for
will
he
,
nill
he
,
his
countenance
was
changed
,
his
thoghts
troubled
him
,
so
that
the
joynts
of
his
loyns
were
loosed
,
and
his
knees
knockt
one
against
the
other
.
Such
was
the
feare
of
Felix
the
Romane
Governour
,
when
he
sent
for
Paul
to
speake
before
him
,
hee
was
so
farre
from
thinking
,
that
Paul
should
terrifie
him
,
that
hee
thought
to
terrifie
Paul
:
For
when
S.
Pa
l
reasoned
of
Righteousnesse
,
Act.
24.24.25
.
and
Temperance
,
and
the
Iudgement
to
come
,
Felix
trembled
.
And
he
dismissed
Saint
Paul
,
that
he
might
rid
himselfe
of
those
fits
and
qualmes
of
feare
.
2.
There
is
a
voluntary
,
free
,
unconstrained
feare
of
God
;
and
such
is
the
filiall
feare
:
A
feare
that
is
desired
,
and
prized
by
him
that
feares
.
It
is
thirsted
after
:
Nehem.
1.11
.
We
desire
to
feare
thy
Name
,
sayth
Nehemiah
.
It
is
prayed
for
:
Vnite
my
heart
to
feare
thy
Name
,
Psa.
86.11
.
sayth
David
.
It
is
a
feare
that
a
Saint
dedicates
,
and
gives
up
himselfe
unto
.
Psa.
119.38
.
Thy
servant
(
sayth
David
)
who
is
devoted
to
thy
feare
.
It
is
a
feare
that
by
the
fearer
is
esteemed
and
valued
at
a
high
rate
.
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
his
treasure
.
Esay
33.6
.
This
is
the
second
distinction
.
The
thrid
distinction
is
this
:
The
third
distinction
.
There
is
a
fourefold
feare
of
GOD.
1.
A
feare
that
flowes
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
is
not
resident
in
the
heart
with
the
Spirit
of
God
:
and
this
is
that
initiall
feare
that
paves
a
path
for
the
Spirit
of
Adoption
,
and
for
the
true
filiall
feare
.
The
Spirit
workes
many
a
common
grace
in
that
heart
wherein
it selfe
is
not
:
as
it
works
this
feare
.
As
the
Sun
afore
it
riseth
,
darts
light
into
that
part
of
the
heaven
,
and
ayre
wherein
he
himselfe
is
not
.
This
feare
is
from
the
Spirit
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
.
2.
There
is
a
feare
where
the
Spirit
of
God
is
,
and
yet
it
flows
not
from
the
Spirit
:
as
many
things
may
be
done
by
children
,
or
servants
in
a
house
,
where
the
father
or
master
is
,
and
yet
they
may
not
be
the
authors
of
them
.
Thus
a
soule
,
that
is
the
mansion
of
the
holy
spirit
of
God
,
may
harbour
in
it
carnall
distrustfull
feares
,
and
cares
,
that
the
Spirit
of
GOD
hath
no
hand
in
.
This
was
Davids
feare
,
that
was
joyned
with
a
diffidence
in
Gods
many
promises
made
unto
him
to
the
contrary
.
I
shall
perish
one
day
,
18
am
.
27.1
.
saith
he
,
by
the
hand
of
Saul
.
This
feare
was
with
,
but
not
from
the
Spirit
.
3.
There
is
a
feare
,
that
neither
proceedes
from
,
nor
is
joyned
with
the
Spirit
of
God
.
Such
is
that
unsanctified
slavish
feare
,
that
turnes
the
affection
from
God
,
and
moves
a
man
to
flie
from
God
.
It
was
the
fear
of
those
in
the
Psalmist
,
that
were
in
feare
where
no
feare
was
:
Psal.
53.3.5
.
and
yet
they
turned
back
from
God
,
they
were
filthy
,
they
devoured
Gods
people
,
they
called
not
upon
God
.
This
feare
is
neither
with
,
nor
from
the
Spirit
.
There
is
a
feare
that
hath
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
,
both
for
its
original
,
and
also
its
companion
:
like
that
day
light
that
is
both
with
and
from
the
Sunne
:
this
is
filiall
feare
.
The
Spirit
of
God
is
stiled
the
spirit
of
this
feare
;
Isai.
11.2
.
because
it
is

How
God
,
being
the
chiefest
good
,
can
bee
feared
.
IF
it
bee
demanded
,
how
GOD
,
beeing
good
in
himselfe
,
and
good
to
all
,
can
be
feared
,
seeing
wee
usually
feare
onely
evill
?
T
is
answered
,
1.
That
we
may
feare
God
with
a
feare
of
honour
and
regard
.
If
I
be
a
father
,
sayth
God
,
where
is
my
honour
?
Matth.
1.6
.
If
I
be
a
master
,
where
is
my
seare
?
In
that
text
feare
and
honour
are
all
one
.
2.
Though
God
bee
good
,
and
wee
cannot
feare
him
as
euill
,
yet
we
may
feare
a
losse
of
,
and
a
sep●ration
from
our
good
GOD
:
the
more
good
any
thing
is
,
the
more
wee
feare
the
cutting
off
of
our
interest
in
it
.
And
in
this
sense
are
those
wordes
of
S.
Nihil
timemus
,
nisi
,
neid
juod
amanous
,
aut
adeptum
amittamus
,
aut
non

.
Aug.
Austine
to
bee
taken
.
We
feare
good
,
in
fearing
lest
wee
should
lose
that
good
wee
enjoy
,
or
not
obtaine
that
good
wee
desire
or
hope
for
.
3.
We
may
feare
our
God
,
though
hee
bee
good
,
because
hee
is
a
great
and
a
just
God
,
who
is
able
to
save
and
to
destroy
,
I
am

Iames
speakes
Those
things
(
saith
Aristotle
)
are
to
be
feared
,
which
have
an
apparent
power
to
inflict
great
punishments
upon
us
,
and
to
doe
us
much
hurt
.
And
this
agrees
with
that
of
our
Saviour
,
Feare
him
who
is
able
to
destroy
both
body
and
soule
.
Math.
10.28
.
All
punishment
comes
from
God
,
but
in
that
respect
punishment
is
good
,
because
it
is
a
worke
of
Iustice
.
Thus
wee
may
feare
GOD
,
though
he
be
good
.
Lastly
,
wee
may
bee
fearfull
of
offending
God
,
in
the
ingenuity
of
our
dispositions
;
because
he
hath
been
,
and
is
every
way
so
good
a
God
unto
us
.
Psal
30.4
1
Sam.
12.24
.
There
is
mercie
with
thee
,
that
thou
mayst
bee
feared
,
saith
David
.
And
these
two
duties
are
joyned
together
,
Feare
the
Lord
;
and
,
Consider
what
great
things
hee
hath
done
for
you
.
Wee
feare
God
,
not
onely
for
that
evill
that
hee
may
do
against
us
,
but
also
for
that
good
that
hee
hath
done
for
us
.
Nay
,
feare
of
God
is

but
because
we
both
feare
and

him
for
his
greatnesse
and
his
goodnesse
?
The
object
both
of
feare
and

may
be
the

.

this

that

Whether
Adam
in
the
state
of
innocencie
feared
God
?
and
whether
the
Angels
and
Saints
in
heaven
feare
God
?
ADAM
had
the
naturall
affection
of
feare
in
his
Soule
while
he
stood
,
though
he
had
no
occasion
to
bring
it
into
act
,
till
after
he
fell
.
As
Adam
standing
,
had
a
power
,
a
facultie
in
him
to
bee
pittifull
,
if
there
had
been
an
object
whereupon
to
exercise
his
pitty
.
And
there
is
no
question
,
but
in
his
innocent
estate
,
he
feared
God
with
the
feare
of
honour
,
reverence
,
and
observance
.
Next
,
for
the
Angels
and
Saints
in
heaven
,
though
that
place
will
admit
of
no
feare
of
punishment
;
because
no
evill
is
possibly
incident
to
the
blessed
:
for
the
celestiall
pararadise
is
a
mansion
of
eternall
security
,
wherin
the
enioyers
are
not
onely
safe
,
but
sure
they
are
safe
.
Et

But
yet
it
doth
not
derogate
from
their
happinesse
,
to
say
,
that
those
that
are
in
heaven
,
doe
feare
God
with
a
feare

a
feare
of

astonishment
at

And

How
the
feare
of
God
can
stand
with
the
love
of
God
,
with
joy
,
faith
,
and
hope
in
God
.
IT
may
be
questioned
next
,
How
the
feare
of
God
can
consist
,
and
stand
with
the
love
of
God
,
and
with
joy
,
faith
,
and
hope
in
God
,
since
it
is
sayd
,
that
perfect
love
casteth
out
feare
:
1
Ioh
,
4.18
.
and
feare
&
ioy
,
feare
and
faith
;
feare
&
hope
,
seem
to
bee
plain
contraries
,
and
to
exclude
each
other
.
To
resolve
which
doubts
,
we
must
know
,
1.
For
the
love
of
God
;
that
,
though
nothing
is
more
opposite
,
than
sincere
love
,
and
slavish
feare
;
yet
none
are
more
neare
&
deare
companions
,
than
love
and
the
filiall
feare
of
God
.
Nothing
is
more
fearfull
than
his
love
,
and
nothing
is
more
loving
than
his
feare
.
Where
there
is
love
,
Res

pl●●●

〈…〉
there
is
a
feare
of
the
wronging
of
the
thing
beloved
.
Love
fulfills
the
Law
,
sayth
S.
Paul
,
And
to
feare
God
,
and
obey
him
,
is
the
whole
duty
of
man
,
sayth
Salomon
.
Love
is
a
grace
that
unites
and
knits
the
heart
to
God
:
and
feare
is
an
uniting
grace
,
Psal.
86.11
.
Vnite
my
heart
to
feare
thy
name
,
sayth

.
I
will
put
my
feare
into

hearts
,
Jer.

.
and
they
shall
not
depart
from
me
,
sayth
God
.
Feare
and
love
keepe
a
man
equally
close
to
God
.
And
the
same
promises
are
made
to
love
and
feare
in
the
Psalmist
.
Psal.
145.18.19
.
2.
The
case
is
as
cleare
for
joy
in
God
;
If
feare
and
joy
did
expell
each
other
,
David
would
never
have
said
,
Rejoyce
with
trembling
;
Psal.
2.11
.
neither
would
he
have
joyned
these
two
counsels
together
:
Feare
the
Lord
,
Psal.
112.1
and
rejoyce
greatly
in
his
Commandements
.
Hee
that
feares
to
offend
God
,
hath
most
cause
of
joy
.
Gaudebit

He
that
feares
God
,
is
truly
joyfull
,
others
are
but
wanton
.
It
is
sayd
of
the
two
Maries
,
that
they
departed
with
feare
and
great
joy
.
So
that
great
joy
and
feare
may
stand
together
.
3.
The
feare
of
God
is
no
more
an
enemy
to
faith
in
God
.
Noah
beleeved
that
God
would
bring
an
universall
deluge
upon
the
world
,
and
yet
save
him
from
it
:
and
therefore
beeing
moved
with
feare
,
hee
prepared
an
Ark.
Heb.
11.7
.
Noah
being
warned
of
God
in
faith
and
feare
,
built
an
Arke
.
Nothing
is
more
common
with
David
,
than
to
put
faith
and
feare
together
.
Taste
,
sayth
he
,
Psal.
34.8.9
.
and
see
how
good
the
Lord
is
,
blessed
is
the
man
that
trusteth
in
him
:
O
feare
the
Lord
,
all
yee
his
Saints
,
for
there
is
no
want
to
them
that
feare
him
.
The
promises
are
made
unto
feare
:
if
therefore
you
feare
God
,
you
may
on
that
ground
beleeve
,
that
God
wil
make
his
promises
good
to
you
.
You
shall
finde
feare
,
joy
,
and
faith
linked
together
in
two
verses
in
the
Psalme
,
All
men
shall
feare
God

6●
.
two
last
verses
.
the
righteous
shall
be
glad
in
the
Lord
,
and
shall
trust
in
him
.
Therfore
the
righteous
feare
God
,
because
they
beleeve
that
God
is
just
,
and
powerfull
.
And
therefore
many
doe
not
feare
God
,
because
they
doe
not
beleeve
.
Besides
,
hee
that
stedfastly
beleeves
that
God
will
save
him
,
wil
not
therefore
presume
,
but
feare
to
dishonour
so
gracious
a
God
.
4.
Feare
and
hope
kisse
each
other
also
.
He
that
hopes
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
purifies
himself
,
1
Ioh.
3.3
.
that
is
,
he
feares
to
present
his
God
with
an
unpurified
heart
.
No
man
thinkes
,
that
that
man
hopes
to
rise
,
who
feares
not
to
vex
,
crosse
and
abuse
his
Prince
.
A
loyall
subiect
,
who
feares
to
moove
his
Prince
,
is
the
man
of
hopes
.
And
therefore
David
chaines
feare
and
hope
together
.
The
eye
of
the
Lord
(
sayth
hee
)
is
upon
them
that
Psal.

feare
him
,
upon
them
that
hope
in
his
mercie
.
And
againe
,
Psal.
147.11
.
the
Lord
takes
pleasure
in
those
that
feare
him
,
in
those
that
hope
in
his
mercie
.
If
the
Soule
triumph
then
in
the
Chariot
of
Grace
,
whereof
Love
,
Ioy
,
and
Hope
be
three
of
the
wheels
,
I
know
not
why
the
feare
of
God
may
not
be
a
fourth
wheele
.
The
Soule
standing
on
these
foure
,
is
like
a
foure
square
stone
,
which
way
soever
you
cast
it

How
far
the
filial
feare
of
God
may
stand
with
the
feare
of
Man
.
THE
filiall
feare
of
God
may
stand
,
1.
With
the
feare
of
reverence
,
due
unto
men
,
as
they
are
subordinate
unto
God
,
as
they
are
the
Deputies
of
God
on
earth
.
God
allowes
that
the
sonne
should
honour
his
father
,
and
the
servant
his
master
;
and
on
this
very
ground
hee
challenges
feare
and
honor
to
himselfe
.
If
then
(
sayth
hee
)
I
bee
a
Father
,
where
is
my
honor
;
Mal.

If
I
be

,
where
is

feare
to
whom
feare
,
honour
to
whom
honour
belongs
:
and
his
reason
is
in
the
fore-going
verse
.
For
they
are
Gods
Ministers
.
Hee
cannot
feare
and
reverence
God
,
whom
doth
not
feare
and
reverence
those
that
are
Gods
substitutes
.
And
therfore
Salomon
knew
what
he
did
,
when
hee
put
these
two
duities
together
,
My
son
,
feare
thou
the
Lord
,
Pro.
24.21

and
the
King

Feare
the
Lord
first
,
and
most
;
but
yet
feare
the
king
too
,
who
is
Gods
Vicegerent
on
earth
.
These
two
are
not
like
the
Arke
and
Dagon
;
they
will
both
stand
under
the
roof
of
one
heart
.
Who
feared
God
more
than
David
?
and
yet
who
feared
King
Saul
more
than
hee
?
his
heart
smot
him
for
cutting

the

of

and
whose
faith
is
faction
,
perswade
his
mis-led
fooles
,
and
his
sworne
slaves
,
that
to
feare
God
,
and
to
kill
Kings
at
his
command
,
are
two
vertues
of

house

They
whose

,
that
light
and
darknesse
,
heaven
and
hell
;
God
and
the
divell
may
as
well
have
fellowship
together
.
The
feare
of
God
doth
neither
make
voyd
,
nor
weaken
this
feare
of
observance
towardes
man
,
but
rather
confirme
and
establish
it
.
2.
Wee
may
filially
feare
God
,
and
yet
feare
man
,
with
a
feare
of
caution
:
that
is
,
wee
may
feare
the
persecution
,
and
the
societie
of
evill
men
.
1.
Wee
may
feare
their
persecutions
,
our
Saviour
will
justifie
us
in
it
.
Behold
(
sayth
he
)
I
send
you
forth
as
sheepe
in

;
Mat.

.
Be
yee
therefore
wise
as
Serpents
,
and
beware
of
men
:
for
they
will
deliver
you
up
to
the
Councels
,
&
they
wil
scourge
you
in
their
Synagogues
;
But
when
they
shall
persecute
you
in
one
Citie
,
flye
into
another
.
Moses
fled
from
Pharaoh
,
David
from
Saul
,
Eliah
from
Iezebel
;
Nay
,
our
Saviour
himselfe
from
the
Iewes
,
Luke
4.29.30
.
when
they
would
have
cast
him
downe
a
hill
.
When
Athanasius
was
persecuted
by
the
Arrians
,
hee
made
this
motion
to
his
friends
,
Secedamus
ad
tempus
nubecula
est
,
quae
citò
evanescet
.
Let
us
step
aside
for
a
time
,
till
this
tempest
bee
overpast
:
it
will
not
bee
long
afore
this
little
cloud
vanishes
.
And
when
his
persecutors
upbraided
him
with
his
flight
,
he
returned
this
answer
to
them
,
Si
sugere
mihi
turpe
,
vobis
me
persequi
turpius
.
If
it
be
a
shame
for
me
to
flie
,
it
is
a
greater
shame
for
you
to
persecute
me
.
Thus
we
may
feare
persecution
.
2.
We
may
feare
the
societie
of
bad
men
,
both
for
the
infection
,
and
the
danger
of
it
,
1.
We
have
just

to
feare
the
contagion
of
ill
company

lest
you
bee
partakers
of
her
sins
,
and
of
her
plagues
.
We
read
in
Ecclesiasticall
history
,
that
S.
Iohn
the
Apostle
being
in
a
Bath
at
Ephesus
,
wherin
Cerinthus
,
a
grand
Hereticke
,
was
bathing
himselfe
,
he
leaped
out
of
the
Bath
,
as
if
he
had
spied
a
serpent
,
and
with
these
words
in
his
mouth
;
I
feare
lest
the
ground
should
sink
under
me
,
whereon
such
a
mortall
enemy
of
the
truth
stands
.
So
then
,
the
feare
of
God
may
stand
with
;
Nay
,
what
if
I
say
,
it
cannot
stand
without
this
kinde
of
feare
of
men
?
Besides
,
I
must
adde
,
to
prevent
all
mistake
,
that
Gods
dearest
saints
and
servants
may
bee
tempted
,
though
not
habitually
,
yet
actually
to
feare
Man
more
than
God
.
The
feare
of
man
moved
Abraham
to
deny
his
wife
Sarah
,

so
that
shee
might
have
beene
exposed

to

Ionah

The
feare
of

moved
Peter
to
deny
Christ
his
master
with
an
oath
,
Mat.
26.69
.
and
a
bitter
execration
.
And
yet
when
the
Saints
thus
feare
men
,
1.
The
Spirit
of
the
feare
of
God
hath
residence
in
them
.
Those
that
are
in
heaven
are
all
spirit
,
and
no
flesh
:
the
wicked
on
earth
are
all
flesh
,
and
no
spirit
.
The
saints
on
earth
are
partly
flesh
,
and
partly
spirit
:
new
converts
are
more
flesh
,
lesse
spirit
.
Ancient
standers
in
the
schoole
of
Grace
,
are
more
spirit
,
lesse
flesh
.
In
all
the
faithfull
there
is
a
combate
betweene
the
flesh
and
the
spirit
.
Gal.
5.17
.
The
flesh
and
the
spirit
are
contrary
to
each
other
,
so
that
we
cannot
doe
the
things
that
we
would
.
The
spirit
is
willing
,
but
the
flesh
is
weake
.
A
Christian
betweene
these
two
,
is
like
a
peece
of
iron
between
two
load-stones
,
the
one
drawes
one
way
,
and
the
other
the
other
way
;
like
a
horse
under
an
unskilfull
rider
,
that
spurres
him
on
,
and
reines
him
in
Sometimes
the
spirit
hath
the
better
of
the
flesh
;
sometimes
the
flesh
hath
the
upper
hand
of
the
spirit
:
sometimes
the
carnall
feare
of
man
prevailes
against
the
filiall
feare
of
GOD.
When
the
Saints
are
thus
shaken
and
winnowed
by
the
reliques
of
sin
in
them
,
and
by
the
temptation
of
Sathan
,
they
are
not
hereby
proved
to
bee
chaffe
,
though
it
appeares
that
they
are
not
without
chaffe
.
2.
As
this
feare
of
men
in
good
men
,
is
not
separated
from
the
true
feare
of
God
:
so
neither
from
the
true
love
of
God
.
When
S.
Peter
denied
Christ
,
he
did
not
hate
Christ
,
Non
odio
habendo
Christum
,
s●d
scipsum
nimis
amando
.
only
he
loved
himselfe
too
much
,
saith
Saint
Bernard
.
It
is
one
thing
for
a
man
to
fall
throgh
the
feare
of
the
world
,
another
thing
to
fall
through
the
love
of
the
world
:
for
he
that
loves
the
world
,
hates
God
,
if
wee
beleeve
S.
Iames
:
Iam.
4.4
.
But
hee
that
sometimes
over-feares
the
world
,
may
yet
both
dearly
love
,
and
sincerely
feare
God
.
3.
When
hee
that
feares
God
doth
thus
over-feare
man
;
hee
doth
it
not
with
the
uninterrupted
swing
of
his
affection
;
but
hee
resists
this
carnall
feare
,
and
heartily
desires
that
it
were
wholly
expelled
;
and
that
the
feare
of
God
in
him
were
perfect
,
and
unmixed
.
Thy
servants
desire
to
feare
thy
name
,
Nehem.
1.11
.
sayth
Nehemiah
.
The
feare
of
man
in
them
is
a
tyrant
,
that
forces
their
subjection
,
not
their
King
,
to
whom
they
freely
yeeld
their
homage
.
4.
When
the
filiall
fearers
of
God
doe
fall
thus
through
the
feare
of
men
,
they
fall
not
upon
premeditation
,
but
suddenly
,
beeing
surprized
by
temptation
unawares
.
The
Divell
takes
them
at
an
unexpected
advantage
.
The
storme
comes
afore
they
have
leasure
to
snatch
their
cloake
about
them
.
As
a
valiant
man
may
startle
at
the
sudden
discharge
of
a
peece
of
Ordnance
behind
his
back
;
who
otherwise
having
time
to
collect
&
summon
his
spirits
,
would
not
feare
to
stand
at
the
mouth
of
a
charged
Canon
in
a
good
cause
.
Saint
Peter
was
challenged
by
the
damosell
suddenly
,
before
hee
could
have
respite
to
reach
to
his
weapon
of
faith
to
draw
it
;
whereas
had
hee
had
never
so
little
time
to
have
recollected
himselfe
,
his
tongue
wold
never
have
so
grosly
transgressed
its
bounds
.
5.
Though
a
childe
of
God
be
thus
for
the
present
scared
by
man
,
yet
let
him
alone
a
while
,
and
hee
will
returne
to
his
true
temper
,
he
will
recover
his
guard
againe
,
and
his
spirituall
will
conquer
his
carnall
feare
.
As
if
you
shake
the
Compasse
,
the
Needle
may
bee
turned
from
the
North
;
but
let
the
Compasse
stand
still
a
while
,
and
then
the
Needle
will
poynt
full
toward
the
North-starre
.
The
most
skilfull
Pilote
may
in
a
storme
,
be
forced
from
his
intended
scope
,
and
port
,
who
when
the
windes
are
silenced
,
wil
steere
a
right
course
again
.
Put
oyle
&
water
into
a
glasse
together
,
&
shake
the
glasse
,
the
water
it
may
bee
,
may
get
uppermost
,
but
let
the
glasse
stand
a
while
,
and
the
oyle
will
,
like
a
triumphant
liquor
,
recover
the
supereminence
.
Though
Saint
Peter
in
the
time
of
temptation
,
did
deny
his
master
,
yet
presently
after
,
when
hee
came
to
himselfe
,
hee
wept
bitterly
for
it
:
and
after
that
hee
confessed
Christ
stoutly
a
fore
a
Councell
,
who
before
denied
him
afore
a
Damosell
:
and
he
sealed
his
profession
with
his
blood
.
Ecebolius
,
who
in
Iulians
time
,
revolted
from
the
truth
for
the
feare
of
man
,
did
afterward
cast
himselfe
downe
in
the
sight
of
all
,
and
cried
in
the
hearing
of
all
,
Kick
me
unsavory
salt
.
Calcate
me
salem
insipidum
.
And
Archbishop
Cranmer
,
who
for
feare
,
had
subscribed
to
many
popish
Articles
,
after
suffered
for
the
truth
;
and
hee
first
thrust
that
hand
into
the
flame
,
wherewith
hee
had
subscribed
.
Thus
,
as
it
was
sayd
of
Gad
,
A
Troope
shall
overcome
him
,
Gen.
49.19
.
but
hee
shall
overcome
at
the
last
.
So
fleshly
feare
may
for
a
time
overcome
a
feare
of
God
,
but
he
who
filially
feareth
God
,
shall
overcome
at
the
last
.
CHAP.

.
Whether
the
feare
of
judgement
bee
contrary
to
the
filiall
feare
of
God
?
THis
doubt
wee
resolve
negatively
:
For
first
,
it
is
but
naturall
to
feare
that
that
is
contrary
to
nature
.
Though
Grace
bee
above
Nature
,
yet
it
is
not
contrary
to
Nature
.
2.
The
best
Saints
have
stood
in
awe
o●
Gods
judgements
,
and
their
feare
is
recorded
in
holy
Scripture
to
their
praise
.
Psal.
119.
●20
.
My
fles●
sayth
David
)
trembleth
for
feare
of
thee
,
and
I
an
afraid
of
thy
judgements
.
When
I
heard
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
my
belly
trembled
,
Hab
,

.
my
lippes
quivered
,
rottennesse
entred
into
my
benes
.
3.
There
is
much
good
included
in
the
feare
of
Gods
judgements
:
For
first
,
it
softens
and
melts
the
heart
;
the
heart
of
the
King
of
Iudah
was
tender
,
2
Chton
.
34.27
.
when
he
heard
God
his
threatnings
.
2.
This
feare
humbles
the
soule
,
and
layes
a
man
low
in
his
owne
eyes
.
Psal.
9.
last
.
verse
.
Put
the
heathen
in
feare
,
O
Lord
(
sayth
David
)
that
they
may
know
themselves
to
bee
but
men
.
Through
the
feare
of
the
majesty
,
and
the
judgements
of
God
,
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
the
losty
lookes
of
man
shall
bee
humbled
,
Esay
2.10.11
.
and
the
haughtinesse
of
men
shal
be
bowed
down
.
3.
This
feare
preventeth
the
commission
of
many
a
sinne
.
Laban
would
have
mischieved
Iacob
,
but
hee
durst
not
.
Gen.
31.29
.
Balaam
wold
have
cursed
the
people
of
God
,
Numb.
22.33.34
.
if
he
had
dared
to
have
adventured
:
for
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
met
him
with
a
drawne
sword
,
and
intercepted
his
purpose
.
Thus
the
feare
of
judgement
is
a
softner
,
a
humbler
,
a
preventer
of
sinne
.
It
softens
the
heart
,
as
fire
dissolves
the
solidest
,
hardest
metall
.
It
humbles
the
heart
,
as
thunder
layes
prostrate
the
tallest
,
stoutest
Cedars
.
It
prevents
much
mischiefe
,
and
so
it
is
like
a
hedge
of
thornes
in
a
mans
way
,
Hosea
2.6
.
to
keep
him
from
breaking
his
bounds
.
Therefore
this
feare
is
not
evill
in
it selfe
,
but
good
,
and
necessary
.
For
if
rulers
are
to
be
feared
,
because
they
are
ministers
to
execute
vengeance
upon
evill
doers
;
Rom.
13.4
then
GOD
is
much
more
to
bee
feared
for
his
vengeance
,
according
to
that
of
the
Apostle
,
Serve
God
with
feare
:
Heb.
12.28.29
.
for
our
God
is
a
consuming
fire
:
Where
the
feare
of

,
even
upon
this
ground
is
warranted

(

There
is

When

awaked
out
of
his
sleepe
,
Gen.

.
The
place
of
Gods
worship
.
in
the
place
where
God
spake
to
him
in
a
dreame
;
he
said
,
Surely
the
Lord
is
in
this
place
,
and
I
was
not
aware
of
it
:
and
hee
was
afrayd
,
and
sayd
,
How
dreadfull
is
this
place
!
this
is
no
other
but
the
house
of
God
,
and
the
gate
of
heaven
.
That
is
for
reverence
in
the
place
,
wherein
God
shall
be
pleased
to
manifest
himselfe
to
us
:
and
more
specially
the
Church
,
the
congregation
of
the
Saints
.
He
that
feares
God
,
will
not
be
rash
to
utter
any
thing
afore
God
,
because
he
sees
,
and
acknowledges
such
a
vast
distance
between
God
and
him
;
God
being
in
heaven
,
and
hee
on
the
earth
:
as
Salomon
sayth
in
his
booke
of
his
Retractations
,
Hee
that
feares

,
Eccles.
5.2
.
feares
afore
God
,
t
is
Salomons
expression
,
Eccles.
8.13.13
.
that
is
,
in
the
presence
of
God
,
which
is
most
manifest
,
and
constant
in
his
holy
Temple
.
The
Lord
is
in
his
holy
Temple
,
Psal.
11.4
.
sayth
David
;
though
his
Throne
bee
in
heaven
,
the
temple
is
his
house
,
his
court
,
Psal.
84.1.24
.
as
David
stiles
it
.
This
was
Davids
feare
;
Psal.
5.7
.
I
will
come
(
sayth
hee
)
into
thy
house
,
and
in
thy
feare
will
I
worship
toward
thy
holy
Temple
.
This
was
the
feare
of
Levi
,
saith
God
of
him
,
Mal.
2.5
.
He
was
afraid
afore
my
Name
,
that
is
,
he
was
reverent
in
my
worship
.
And
therefore
these
two
are
joyned
together
in
St.
Iohn
,
Feare
God
,
Rev.
14.7
.
and
glorifie
and
worship
him
.
To
glorifie
God
in
a
reverent
worshipping
of
him
,
is
to
feare
God
.
It
is
the
song
of
the
Saints
in
heaven
,
Who
shall
not
feare
thee
,
Rev.
15.4
.
O
Lord
,
and
glorifie
thy
Name
:
For
all
Nations

and

thee
.
Summe
up
all
,
it
amounts
to
this
,
He
that
feares
God
,
reverences
the
name
of

of

,
by
hellish

mouth
,
when
there
is
little
or
no

of

that

he

Hee
that

,
will
thirst
to
bee

what
hee

.
Teach

,
O
Lord
:
unite
my

He
manifests
his
desire
to
feare
God
,
by
desiring
that
GOD
would
teach
him
his
way
.
This
he
requests
more
than
once
in
one

;
Psal.
119.12

:
teach

As
that

that
feares

,
will
punctually
inquire
into
his

disposition

wil
,
what
he
likes
,
what
displeases
him
.
But
he
that
takes
no

to
build
up
himself
in

contents
himselfe

would
otherwise
dart

There

Psal.

.
How
doth
that
appeare
?
By
this
:
He
flatters
himself
,
and
hee
desires
to
be
flattered
.
Hee
would
not
willingly
know
the
plain
truth
:
he
loves
to
drinke
in
troubled
waters
,
that
hee
might
not
see
his
own
deformitie
,
nor
understand
his
dutie
.
3.
Hee
that
feares
God
,
hath
a
soft
,
melting
,
yeelding
,
pliable
heart
to
all

.
I

that

Therefore
it
is
,
that
the
feare
of
God
,
and
hardnesse

are
opposed
one
to

,
by

Blessed

Hee

sits
on
:
That

5.
He
that
truly
feares
God
,
is
in
love
with
the
feare
of

,
hee
rejoyces
in

hee
cherishes

But
he
that
resolves
to
lead

,
to
take
nothing
to
heart
,
to
sing
care
away
,
and
to

hee
knowes

Hee
that

when

conceiveth

he
never

praying

he

that
,

sets
his
heart
to

thinkes
that
God
hath
forgotten

and
so
runnes
on
the
score
,
and
never
thinks
of
agreeing
with
his
maker
,
and
making
up
the
breach
;
hee
is
a
stranger
to
the
feare
of
God
.
7.
Hee
that
feares
God
,
doth
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
set
himselfe
as
in
the
presence
of

As

conceives

But
hee
in

hee
is
as
farre
from
the
feare
of
God

as
the

8.
Hee
that
feares
God
hath
a
quicke
eye
to
discerne
when
God
is
displeased

and
he
is
grieved
at
heart
when

honour
is
im

by
himselfe

Hee
grieves

heart
,
Against

against

I
sinned
.
Psal.
51.4

Hee
had
sinned
against
Vriah
,
against
Bathsheba
,
against
Israel
:
but
he
is
most
sensible
of
his
offending
of
God
.
Againe
,
he
that
feares
God
,
grieves
when
others
are
injurious
to
Gods
glory
.

Horror

Hee
that

will

and
provoke

But
he
that

neither
moved

his
owne

with
other
mens
sins

but
makes
the
one
his
pride

Hee
that
feares
God
will
bee
carefull
for
the
future
,
to
avoyd
whatsoever
may
prove
offensive
to
God
.
And
therefore
David
puts
these
together
,
Stand
in
awe
,
Psal.
4.4
.
and
sinne
not
And
therefore
he
saith
,
That
the
feare
of
God
is
cleane
,
Psal.
19.9
.
because
it
keeps
mens
hearts
and
hands
cleane
.
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
to
hate
evill
:
Pro.

and
by
the
feare
of
the
Lord
men
depart
from
evill
,
sayth
Salomon
.
He
that
feares
God
,
feares
sin
.
T
is
part
of
the
description
of
a
good
man
in
Ecclesiastes
,
Eccles.
9.2
.
that
hee
feares
an
oath
:
And
so
I
may
say
of
other
sins
.
Nay
,
hee
feares
sinne
,
when
time
,
place
,
and
opportunity
do
wooe
him
to
it
.
As
Ieseph
would
not
yeeld
to
his
mistresses
lust
,
though
there
was
no
feare
of
discovery
:
All
his
argument
was
,
How
can
I
doe
this
great
wickednes
,
Gen.
39.9
.
and
sin
against
God
?
But
hee
that
passe
not
how
much
God
bee
displeased
,
so
hee
may
please
,
humour
,
and
satisfie
his
owne
lust
,
his
heart
is
not
possess
with
the
feare
of
God
.
10.
Hee
that
feares
GOD
will
study
in
all
things
to
please
God
;
Hee
will
obey
God
conscionably
and
constantly
.
And
therefore
to
feare
God
,
and
to
keepe
his
commandements
,
Eccles.
12.13
.
are
put
together
by
the
wise
man
.
T
is
sayd
of
the
Centurion
,
that
hee
feared
God
;
Acts.
10.2
Psal.
2.11
.
and
it
is
added
;
he
was
a
devout
man
,
he
gave
almes
;
hee
prayed
.
Serve
the
Lord
with
feare
,
sayth
David
.
He
that
serves
God
,
feares
him
;
and
he
that
feares
him
,
will
serve
him
:
they
cannot
bee
disjoyned
.
If
thou
makest
no
conscience
of
diligent
serving
of
God
,
both
in
thy
general
and
particular
calling
;
and
of
serving
him
in
that
manner
,
that
he
desires
to
bee
served
in
,
never
say
that
thou
fearest
God
.
Lastly
,
he
that
feares
God
,
will
not
willingly
wrong
his
neighbour
,
neither
in
word
or
deed
.
Doe
this
(
sayth
Ioseph
to
his
brethren
)
and
live
:
Gen
42.18
for
I
feare
God
,
that
is
,
I
will
keepe
my
promise
with
you
,
if
you
performe
the
condition
,
for
I
feare
God
,
and
therefore
dare
bee
no
promise-breaker
.
The
Hebrew
mid-wives
would
not
kil
the
male-children
at
the
Kings
command
,
because
,
sayth
the
text
,
Exod.
1.17
.
they
feared
God
.
And
the
law
of
God
runnes
thus
;
Thou
shalt
not
curse

deafe
,
Leuit.
19
14.
nor
put
a
stumbling
blocke
afore
the
blinde
,
but
thou
shalt
feare
God
.
As
if
GOD
should
say
,
If
thou
feare
me
,
thou
wilt
not
offer
injury
to
thy
neighbour
;
No
,
not
though
thou
couldest
escape
unknowne
;
thou
wilt
not
curse
him
that
cannot
heare
thee
,
nor
offend
him
that
cannot
see
thee
to
call
thee
to
account
for
it
.
My
predecessors
(
sayth
Nehemiah
)
opprest
the
people

.
so
do
not
I
,
because
I
feare
God
.
But
he
that
makes
no
scruple
of
prejudicing
,
and
injuring
superiour
,
equall
,
inferiour
,
any
that
may
fall
with
in
his
reach
,
he
may
call
himselfe
a
servant
of
God
,
and
a
Christian
;
but
as
yet
the
feare
of
God
hath
no
place
in
his
heart
.
These
are
more
simple
,
and
absolute
signes
of
the
feare
of
God
considerable
in
it selfe
.
CHAP.

.
Of
those
signes
that
put
a
difference
betweene
the
slavish
,
and
the
filiall
feare
of
God
.
THE
slavish
,
and
thes
on-like
kindly
feare
of
God
,
differ
1.
In
their
severall
grounds
and
principles
,

The
slavish
feare
is
awaked
onely
by
threatnings
denounced
by
God
against
disobedience
.
This
moved
King
Abimelech
to
restore
Sara
to
Abraham
;
God
in
a
dreame
signified
to
him
,
that
if
hee
restored
her
not
,

hee
and
all
his
should
dye
for
it
.
When
Ionas
had
cryed
,
Ionas
3.4.5
.
Fourty
dayes
and
Niniveh
should
bee
destroyed
:
then
they
were
amazed
,
and
fasted
and
prayed
.
On
the
otherside
,
the
filiall
feare
of
God
will
be
awaked
by
the
meere
commandment
of
God
,
though
there
were
no
commination
annexed
thereunto
.
This
Salomon
calles
,
Pro.
13.13
fearing
the
commandement
;
that
is
,
fearing
not
to
do
what
is
commanded
,
meerely
because
it
is
commanded
;
and
fearing
to
doe
what
is
forbidden
,
because
it
is
forbidden
,
though
the
commandment
were
not
backed
,
nor
seconded
with
any
sanction
either
of
promise
or
threatning
.
2.
The
slavish
feare
is
stirred
up
onely
by
judgements
inflicted
on
mens
selves
,
or
on
others
.
Thou
O
God
,
(
sayth
Asaph
)
didst
cause
judgement
to
bee
heard
from
heaven
,
Psal.
76.8
.
then
the
earth
feared
:
whereas
filiall
feare
is
excited
by
the
mercy
,
and
loving
kindnesse
of
God
.
There
is
mercy
with
thee
that
thou
mayest
bee
feared
.
Psal.
130.4
.
Hosea
3.5
They
shall
feare
the
Lord
and
his
goodnesse
,
sayth
the
Prophet
.
God
will
not
afflict
(
sayth
Iob
)
therefore
doe
men
feare
him
.
Iob.
37.23.24
What
men
?
Certainly
not
slaves
,
but
loving
and
loyall
sonnes
.
2.
Slavish
,
and
filiall
feare
differ
in
their
objects
.
For
,
1.
The
object
of
slavish
feare
is
not
sinne
,
but
punishment
.
As
children
feare
a
Cole
onely
when
it
burnes
;
but
otherwise
be
it
never
so
blacke
,
they
will
delight
to
handle
it
.
Thus
Balaam
did
not
feare
to
curse
Gods
people
,
but
hee
feared
the
Angell
that
met
him
in
the
way
with
a
drawne
sword
.
Numb
.
22.31.32
But
the
object
of
filiall
feare
is
sin
,
though
there
were
no
plagues
in
store
here
,
nor
no
hell
hereafter
for
the
offender
.
A
righteous
man
feares
an
oath
,
sayth
Salomon
,
Eccles.
9.2
That
is
,
he
doth
so
much
feare
the
curse
of
the
flying
booke
that
shall
enter
into
the
house
of
the
swearer
,
as
he
feares
the
oath
it selfe
.
He
feares
more
to
sweare
,
than
that
God
shold
sweare
in
his
wrath
against
him
.
Psal.
95.11
Hee
more
feares
to
curse
then
to
be
cursed
.
To
hate
than
to
be
hated
:
to
injure
than
to
be
injured
.
Hee
feares
more
active
,
than
passive
evill
.
Like
that
woman
in
the
Hieroglyphicke
,
that
having
a
fire-brand
in
one
hand
,
and
a
pot
of
water
in
the
other
,
is
presented
,
wishing
that
with
that
fire-brand
shee
could
dry
up
the
waters
of
Paradise
;
and
with
that
water
quench
the
flames
of
hell
,
that
shee
might
serve
God
,
neither
for
hopes
of
heaven
,
nor
for
feare
of
hell
.
2.
If
the
object
of
slavish
feare
be
sinne
;
yet
it
is
onely
sinne
of
the
grosser
size
,
of
a
scarlet
dye
.
Mat.
23.24
.
As
the
Pharisees
feared
to
swallow
Camels
,
but
gnats
would
downe
well
enough
.
And
among
Christians
,
many
feare
the
more
horrid
oathes
;
but
the
lesser
breake
no
squares
with
them
.
Many
feare
to
kill
a
man
,
who
feare
not
to
spleen
,
hate
,
back-bite
,
or
curse
him
,
which
is
murder
in
a
degree
,
as
our
Saviour
reckons
it
in
his
Sermon
on
the
mount
.
Mat
5.21.22
.
But
on
the
other
side
,
they
that
filially
feafe
God
,
feare
those
sinnes
that
seeme
least
,
as
idle
words
,
&
vain
thoghts
.
David
feared
the
cutting
of
the
lap
of
Sauls
garment
.
1
Sam.
24.4.5
.
Iob.
31.1
.
Iob
feared
to
look
upon
a
mayd
lustfully
.
Saint
Austin
feared
the
stealing
of
a
few
apples
.
Iohn
Hus
feared
lest
hee
should
spend
too
much
time
at
Chesse-play
.
The
truely
fearfull
are
jealous
over
themselves
in
the
use
of
indifferences
,
lest
in
tasting
of
the
hony
of
them
,
they
should
like
a
flye
,
sticke
in
the
slime
.
Let
every
man
apply
this
triall
to
himselfe
.
3.
Slavish
and
filiall
feare
differ
in
their
consequents
,
and
effects
.
For
,
1.
Slavish
feare
dulles
and
deadens
a
mans
heart
,
so
that
hee
is
fit
for
no
good
thing
.
It
made
Nabal
his
heart
dye
within
him
;
1
Sam.
25.37
.
so
that
hee
became
as
a
stone
.
When
God
(
sayth
David
)
rebuked
,
and
spoiled
the
wicked
,
they
fell
into
a
feare
,
so
that
none
of
them
found
their
hands
,
Psal.
76.5.6.8
.
but
they
were
cast
into
a
dead
sleepe
.
As
when
there
was
an
earth-quake
at
Christ
his
rising
,
and
the
Angels
countenance
was
as
lightning
,
Mat.
28.4
.
the
keepers
for
feare
shooke
,
and
became
as
dead
men
.
But
filiall
feare
makes
such
as
are
indued
with
it
lively
,
and
active
in
their
duty
.
Thus
Noah
being
moved
with
feare
,
Heb.
11.7
.
did
not
sit
still
,
but
prepared
an
Arke
.
And
indeed
this
is
Gods
command
.
What
(
sayth
Moses
)
doth
the
Lord
require
,
but
to
feare
him
,
Deut.
10.12
.
&
to
walk
in
his
wayes
?
Filiall
feare
makes
not
a
man
lame
in
his
duty
,
but
sets
him
upon
his
legges
.
2
If
slavish
feare
move
a
man
to
doe
any
good
,
it
will
be
but
just
so
much
as
the
fearer
thinkes
will
serve
him
,
and
no
more
.
He
will
give
God
but
gold-weight
;
very
hard
measure
.
But
filial
feare
will
make
a
man
to
strive
after
perfection
,
to
presse
hard
forward
to
the
mark
of
the
high
calling
.
And
therefore
Saint
Pauls
exhortations
runs
thus
.
Perfect
holinesse
in
the
feare
of
God
.
2
Cor.
7.1
I
hil
2.12
.
Work
out
your
salvation
with
feare
and
trembling
.
If
you
feare
God
,
you
wil
not
work
by
halves
;
but
worke
out
your
salvation
.
Not
that
merit
or
justification
by
workes
,
is
admitted
by
us
;
the
word
feare
and
trembling
excludes
that
.
To
feare
,
and
to
bee
selfe-confident
,
are
asustaticall
,
they
cannot
stand
together
.
3.
Slavish
feare
,
and
curbe
sin
,
it
may
make
a
damme
against
it
;
it
may
prune
or
lop
it
,
but
it
doth
not
mortifie
sinne
in
the
power
and
love
of
it
.
This
feare
is
but
like
the
quaking
of
a
rotten
quagmire
.
The
wolfe
may
feare
to
come
to
the
flocke
,
yet
he
loves
the
blood
of
sheepe
never
a
whit
the
lesse
.
But
he
that
filially
feares
God
,
doth
not
onely
avoyd
,
but
also
hate
sin
.
The
feare
of
the
Lord
(
sayth
Salomon
)
is
to
hate
evill
.
Pro.
8.13

In

Aug.
In
the
worst
of
men
,
through
the
feare
of
punishment
,
the
faculties
indeed
may
bee
bridled
:
but
in
those
that
filially
feare
God
,
the
will
is
healed
.
4.
Slavish
feare
filles
the
heart
with
distraction
,
and
distrust
.
It
made
Lot
fearfull
that
he
should
be
consumed
betweene
Sodome
and
the
mountaine
,
Gen.
19.19
though
God
had
promised
him
his
life
if
he
hastned
.
It
made
the
people
deny
to
go
up
to
Canaan
,
because
of
the
multitude
and
strength
of
the
inhabitants
,
Numb.
13.2.31
.
though
God
had
promised
them
conquest
over
the
Canaanites
,
and
the
possession
of
the
land
.
It
spurred
Cain
and
Iudas
to
despaire
.
Non
duxit
ad
dominum
,
sed
traxit
ad
la
●ucum
.
Greg.
It
did
not
lead
Iudas
to
the
Lord
,
but
it
drew
him
to
the
halter
.
But
the
filiall
feare
of
God
is
never
without
faith
in
God
,
as
hath
been
afore
proved
.
Psal.
23.4
.
Though
I
walke
(
sayth
David
)
through
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death
,
I
will
feare
no
evill
,
for
thou
art
with
me
.
Psal.
64.9.10
.
And
againe
(
sayth
he
)
they
that
feare
God
,
will
trust
in
him
.
The
kindly
feare
of
God
doth
not
dis-joynt
,
but
consolidate
,
settle
,
and
ballasse
the
heart
amidst
all
inward
and
outward
stormes
and
tempests
.
5.
The
slavish
feare
of
God
is
usually
ioyned
with
hatred
of
God
in
some
degree
.
It
was
the
speech
of
a
tyrant
:
Oderint
dum
timeant
:
Let
the
people
hate
me
,
so
they
feare
me
.
This
feare
wishes
there
were
no
God
:
or
that
he
could
not
see
,
or
not
be
able
to
punish
sinne
.
But
the
filiall
feare
of
God
is
never
dis-joyned
from
the
fervent
unfained
love
of
God
.
They
that
feare
God
,
and
they
that
love
God
,
Psal.
145.19
,
20.
are
put
into
the
same
description
by
the
Psalmist
,
and
they
are
interressed
in
the
same
promises
,
that
their
prayers
shall
be
heard
,
their
desires
fulfilled
:
they
shall
be
preserved
and
saved
.
Deut.
10.12
.
And
God
in
the
Law
requires
feare
and
love
united
together
.
They
that
feare
God
,
love
God
,
because
they
are
beloved
of
God
.
For
David
calles
the
fearers
of
God
,
Gods
beloved
.
And
we
love
God
,
Psal.
60.4.5
.
because
he
loves
us
first
,
sayth
Saint
Iohn
.
1
Ioh.
4.19
.
6.
Slavish
feare
drives
men
from
God
:
we
see
it
in
our
grand-father
Adam
,
he
confesses
that
beeing
afrayd
,
Gen.
3.8.10
.
hee
hid
himselfe
among
the
trees
of
the
garden
.
Esay
2.19
.
They
shall
goe
(
sayth
the
Prophet
)
into
the
holes
of
the
rockes
,
and
into
the
caves
of
the
earth
,
for
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
and
for
the
glory
of
his
Majesty
,
when
he
arises
to
shake
terribly
the
earth
.
Apoc.
6.16
They
shall
say
,
(
sayth
Saint
Iohn
the
Divine
)
to
the
mountaines
,
and
rockes
,
fall
on
us
,
and
hide
us
from
the
face
of
him
that
sitteth
on
the
throne
.
This
feare
cares
not
how
farre
God
and
it
bee
asunder
.
Like
that
f●are
of
the
Egyptians
,
Psal.
105
38.
Egypt
was
glad
of
the
Israelites
departure
:
for
they
were
afrayd
of
them
.
But
the
filiall
feare
of
God
unites
the
heart
to
God
:
it
drives
him
who
is
possest
of
it
,
unto
God
.
When
David
was
in
a
great
streight
,
hee
cries
,
2
Sam.
24.14
.
Let
us
fall
into
the
hands
of
God
And
it
is
Gods
promise
,
Ier.
32.40
.
I
will
put
my
feare
into
their
hearts
,
and
they
shall
never
depart
from
me
.
The
feare
of
a
slave
provokes
him
to
runne
from
his
master
;
the
feare
of
a
loving
childe
prompts
him
to
apply
himselfe
the
closer
to
his
father
.
In
these
sixe
effects
,
these
two
feares
are
differenced
.
4.
And
lastly
,
they
differ
in
regard
of
time
and
duration
.
To
wind
them
up
together
,
Slavish
feare
dreads
not
GOD
in
prosperity
,
when
all
things
smile
,
and
succeed
according
to
expectation
&
wish
.
Because
the
wicked
have
no
changes
,
Psal.
55.19
.
sayth
the
Psalmist
,
therefore
they
feare
not
God
.
He
that
filially
feares
God
,
feares
him
at
all
times
;
you
may
imagine
it
to
be
a
misery
,
a
bondage
,
to
be
alwaies
in
feare
:
but
the
contrary
is
true
of
this
feare
.
Happy
is
that
man
that
feareth
alwayes
,
Pro.
28.14
(
sayth
Salomon
.
)
The
righteous
man
feares
not
God
by
fits
and
starts
.
Hee
feares
most
when
hee
is
most
prosperous
.
He
thinkes
that
the
greatest
calmes
are
but
fatall
,
and
immediate
fore-runners
of
the
lowdest
tempests
.
When
the
Churches
had
rest
and
comfort
in
the
holy
Ghost
,
Acts
9.31
.
even
then
they
walked
in
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
They
think
with
St.
Bernard
,
Tum
magis
irascitur
,
cum
non
irascitur
.
Bern.
when
they
are
spared
too
long
,
that
then
God
is
most
angry
,
when
hee
seemes
least
angry
.
When
they
sinne
unpunished
,
they
cry
with
Saint
Austin
,
N●le●●re

Lord
let

of

lest
it

but
a

of

to

misery
.
In
a
word
,
hee
that
feares
God
slavishly
,
feares
little
longer
than
the
rod
is
on
his
backe
.
It

Nay
,
this

as

But
the

it

Christ
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
I
cannot
feare
Christ
as
a
servant
shold
feare
his
master
;
if
I
seeke
to
please
men
.
Would
any
of
you
judge
that
a
servant
did
feare
his
master
more
than
other
men
,
if
his
daily
care
were
to
please
other
men
rather
than
his
master
?

It
is
not
for
nothing
that
Saint
Paul
opposeth
man
pleasing
to
fearing
of
God
,
implying
that
light
and
darknesse
can
as
well
consist
together
,
as
sycophanticke
,
slavish
pleasing
of
man
,
can
stand
with
the
feare
of
God
.
Who
doubts
,
but
that
,
at
that
time
,
Aaron
feared
man
more
than
God
:
when
,
to
condescend
to
the
peoples
fancie
,
hee
made
gods
for
them
to
worship
in
Moses
absence
?
Exod.

.
Whether
did
Pilate
feare
God
or
man
most
,
when
to
content
the
people
,
hee
released
Barabbas
,
Mark
.
15.15
.
and
delivered
Iesus
to
bee
crucified
?
When
Herod
the
King
vexed
the
Church
of
God
,
and
killed
Iames
with
the
sword
,
Acts
12.1.2
3.
and
because
he
saw
it
pleased
the
Ieas
,
hee
proceeded
further
to
take
Peter
also
,
as
it
is
writ
of
him
;
will
any
man
say
that
Herod
feared
God
more
than
man
?
On
the
contrary
part
,
they
that
feare
God
more
than
man
,
though
in
all
indifferent
things
hee
will
please
men
,
as
St.
Paul
testifies
of
himselfe
,
1
Cor.
10.
last
verse
.
I
(
sayth
he
)
please
all
men
in
all
things
(
that
is
,
in
all
lawfull
things
)
for
the
profit
of
many
,
that
they
may
be
saved
.
1
Cor
9.20.21.22
.
Vnto
the
Iewes
(
sayth
hee
)
I
became
as
a
Iew
,
that
I
might
gaine
the
Iewes
;
to
them
that
are
under
the
law
,
as
under
the
law
,
that
I
might
gaine
them
that
are
under
the
law
;
to
them
that
are
without
law
,
as
without
law
,
that
I
might
win
them
:
to
the
weake
I
became
as
weake
,
that
I
might
gain
the
weake
.
I
am
made
all
things
to
all
men
,
that
I
might
by
all
meanes
gaine
some
.
Yet
in
those
things
that
are
not
adiaphorous
,
indifferent
,
but
either
necessary
,
or
unlawfull
,
they
will
not
yeeld
a
haires
bredth
,
though
to
please
the
greatest
,
and
their
best
benefactors
.
And
therefore
the
question
of
those
that
feare
God
,
is
not
,
what
man
,
but
what
God
will
bee
pleased
with
;
as
it
was
their
question
(
though
with
other
intention
)
in
the
Prophet
.
Micha.
6.7
.
Will
the
Lord
be
pleased
with
thousands
of
Rammes
,
or
with
ten
thousand
rivers
of
oyle
?
1
Thess.
2.4
.
We
speak
(
sayth
Saint
Paul
)
not
as
pleasing
man
,
but
God
,
who
trieth
our
hearts
.
That
preacher
,
who
feares
God
more
than
man
,
will
in
the
pulpit
speake
his
conscience
,
with
modesty
&
good
discretion
,
even
to
the
faces
of
the
highest
Grandees
and
Magnificoes
of
the
World
,
though
hee
knowes
it
will
prove
harsh
,
untuneable
,
and
unwelcome
to
their
eares
.
When
King
Ahab
sent
for
Michaiah
to
prophesie
to
him
,
hee
was
desired
to
speake
as
the
Prophets
afore
him
spake
,
that
which
was
good
,
and
might
please
the
King
:
his
answer
was
,
1
King
.
22.13.14
.
As
the
Lord
lives
,
what
the
Lord
sayth
unto
me
,
that
I
will
speake
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
Tel
not
mee
what
other
Prophets
have
sayd
,
what
God
puts
into
my
mouth
,
I
wil
speak
,
be
it
good
for
the
king
,
or
not
good
,
whether
it
please
him
,
or
displease
him
.
This
was
a
fearer
of
God
indeed
.
2.
They
feare
man
more
than
God
,
who
will
rather
obey
the
commandment
of
man
than
of
God
.
Rom.
6.16
His
servants
you
are
(
sayth
S.
Paul
)
him
you
reverence
and
feare
,
whom
you
obey
.
That
subject
that
will
disobey
his
God
,
to
obey
a
magistrate
:
that
childe
who
will
disobey
his
Father
in
heaven
,
to
obey
his
earthly
father
;
that
servant
who
will
disobey
his
heavenly
master
,
Eph.
6.5
.
to
obey
his
master
according
to
the
flesh
:
that
subject
,
that
sonne
,
that
servant
fears
man
more
than
God
.
Psal.
36.1
.
The
transgression
of
the
wicked
against
Gods
law
,
testifies
(
sayth
David
)
that
there
is
no
feare
of
God
afore
his
eyes
.
Whereas
they
that
feare
God
more
than
man
,
will
infinitely
preferre
obedience
to
God
,
afore
obsequiousnesse
to
man
.
None
are
more
obedient
to
man
,
than
those
that
feare
God
,
in
what
is
agreeable
with
,
or
not
contrary
to
the
wil
of
God
.
But
if
God
command
one
thing
,
and
man
another
,
they
desire
to
bee
pardoned
,
if
they
take
leave
to
obey
the
more
supreme
.
And
therefore
when
the
Councell
asked
S.
Peter
,
and
the
other
Apostles
,
why
they
preached
in
the
name
of
Iesus
,
when
they
had
strict
command
to
the
contrary
,
their
answer
was
,
Acts
5.28.29
.
Wee
ought
to
obey
God
rather
than
men
.
And
when
the
Councell
called
them
,
and
commanded
them
not
to
preach
in
Christ
his
name
,
they
returned
this
answer
,
Acts
4.18.19
.
Whether
it
bee
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
to
hearken
to
you
,
rather
than
unto
God
,
judge
yee
?
3.
They
feare
man
more
than
God
,
that
would
not
abstaine
from
sinne
,
but
onely
for
the
feare
of
man
.
Herod
would
have
put
Iohn
Baptist
to
death
,

but
that
hee
feared
the
multitude
.
And
the
chiefe
Priests
and
Pharisies
would
have
layd
hands
on
Christ
,
but
that
they
feared

people

Prophet

The
Captaine
and
the
officers
brought
the
Apostles
gently
,
and
without
violence
,
Acts

.
because
(
sayth
the
Text
)
they
feared
the
people
,
lest
they
should
have
stoned
them
.
Among
us
many
feare
stealing
and
murdering
,
because
they
feare
hanging
.
Many
feare
neglect
of
comming
to
Church
,
and
to
the
Communion
,
because
they
feare
presenting
.
Many
feare
adultery
an
fornication
,
because
they
feare
discovery
,
the
losse
of
their
good
name
,
and
temporall
mulcts

And
what
is
all
this
,
but
to
feare
man
more
than
God
?
On
the
other
part
,
they
that
feare
God
more
than
man
,
will
feare
to
commit
those
sinnes
on
which
the
law
of
man
takes
no
hold

Of

Not
of

of

King
Saul
by
his
owne
confession
,
transgressed
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
,
1
Sam.
15.24
.
because
hee
feared
the
people
.
Pope
Marcelline
,
in
the
time
of
heathenish
persecution
,
for
feare
of
death
,
offredincense
to
divels
;
as
he
after
confest
with
griefe
:
as
many
Papists
in
their
writings
make
mention
.
On
the
contrary
part
,
they
that
feare
God
more
than
man
,
wil
not
betray
a
tittle
of
truth
to
save
their
lives
.
They
will
dye
afore
they
wil
yeeld
so
much
as
a
knee
in
an
idolatrous
way
:
or
withhold
any
part
of
Gods
worship
from
him
;
or
in
any
kinde
make
shipwracke
of
a
good
conscience
.
You
finde
two
famous
examples
hereof
in
the
prophesie
of
Daniel
:
The
one
was
this
,
Nebucl
adnezzar
threatned
the
three
children
,
Shadrach
,
Meshech
,
and
Abednego
,
that
if
at
the
sounding
of
the
musicke
they
did
not
fall
downe
,
and
worship
the
golden
Image
that
hee
had
set
up
,
they
should
be
cast
in
the
houre
of
their
refusall
,
into
the
midst
of
a
fiery
furnace
.
But
what
answer
did
they
returne
?
This
:
Dan.
3.15.16.17.18
.
O
Nebuchadnezzar
,
wee
are
not
carefull
to
answere
thee
in
this
matter
.
Our
God
whom
wee
serve
,
is
able
to
deliver
us
out
of
thy
hand
,
O
King
.
But
if
not
;
be
it
knowne
unto
thee
,
O
King
,
that
wee
will
not
worship
the
golden
image
that
thou
hast
set
up
.
An
heroical
resolution
.
The
other
example
is
this
,
K.
Darius
sealed
a
decree
,
Dan.
6.7.8
,
9
,
10.
that
whosoever
should
aske
a
petition
of
any
God
or
man
,
for
thirty
dayes
,
hee
should
bee
cast
into
the
den
of
Lions
.
Yet
,
for
all
this
,
Daniel
knowing
of
the
signing
of
this
decree
,
went
into
his
house
,
opened
his
window
toward
Ierusalem
,
and
kneeled
upon
his
knees
three
times
a
day
,
and
prayed
to
God
.
Hee
would
not
onely
,
not
omit
to
pray
,
but
hee
would
not
forbeare
the
usuall
ceremonies
in
praying
,
of
bowing
the
knee
,
of
opening
his
window
toward
Ierusalem
.
So
little
the
feare
of
man
swayed
him
.
Theodoret
and
Nazianzen
relate
of
S.
Basil
,
Nullam
syllabam
de
vinarum
scr●pturarum
in
discrimen
venire
patiuntur
&c.
that
hee
would
say
,
That
those
that
feed
upon
Gods
word
,
will
not
suffer
the
least
sillable
of
it
to
come
into
hazard
.
Nos
c●●teris
humiliores
sumus
omnibus
,
ubiverò
de
side
agitur
minimè
timidi
apparemus
.
And
againe
,
that
hee
would
say
,
we
are
in
all
other
things
modest
&
yeelding
;
but
when
matters
of
faith
and
religion
are
in
controversie
,
we
are
not
timorous
then
,
but
as
bold
as
Lions
.
And
againe
,
that
hee
would
say
to
Modestus
,
a
potent
man
,
Vse
all
your
power
against
me
,
Potestate
tua
contra
me
utare
,
nunquam
persuadebis
.
you
shall
never
perswade
mee
to
subscribe
to
your
Arrian
heresie
.
These
men
feared
God
more
that
man
.
And
we
will
not
wonder
that
grace
infuses
such
a
courage
into
the
fearers
of
God
,
when
we
shall
heare
the
answeres
of
Elvidius
Priscus
,
a
heathen
,
ito
Vespasian
the
Emperour
.
The
Emperour
commanded
him
not
to
come
on
such
a
day
to
the
Senate
,
or
if
hee
came
,
to
speake
as
hee
would
have
him
.
Hee
answered
,
that
hee
was
a
Senator
,
and
therefore
it
was
fit
,
that
hee
should
be
at
the
Senate
.
And
if
being
there
,
hee
were
required
by
the
rest
,
to
render
his
opinion
,
hee
must
speake
freely
,
and
according
to
his
conscience
.
The
Emperour
threatned
him
,
that
he
should
dye
then
.
He
replyed
,
that
hee
knew
hee
was
not
im
mortall
:
and
hee
added
,
Doe
what
you
will
,
I
will
doe
what
I
ought
.
It
is
in
your
power
to
kill
me
,
but
it
is
in
my
power
to
dye
constantly
.
Think
but
on
this
heathen
,
and
then
you
will
beleeve
,
that
grace
can
make
the
faithfull
much
more
spirited
;
they
building
upon
better
grounds
than
any
heathen
could
.
Princes
(
sayth
David
)
did
sit
and
speak
against
me
,
Psal.
119.23.109.110.161
.
yet
I
meditated
in
thy
statutes
.
And
again
,
My
life
is
continually
in
my
hand
,
yet
I
forget
not
thy
law
.
The
wicked
have
laid
a
snare
for
me
,
yet
I
erre
not
from
thy
precepts
.
Princes
have
persecuted
mee
,
but
my
heart
stands
in
awe
os
thy
word
,
As
if
hee
should
say
,
I
feare
thee
more
than
any
persecution
.
5.
They
feare
man
more
than
God
,
that
in
trouble
feare
man
,
and
distrust
God
;
and
upon
the
surprizall
of
any
evill
,
thinke
not
on
God
,
but
of
fortifying
themselves
by
leagues
with
men
.
Such
were
they
in
the
prophesie
,
Esa.
22.8.9.10.11
.
that
looked
after
armour
,
and
walles
;
rampiers
,
and
fortifications
,
but
they
had
not
respect
to
God
.
They
feared
the
enemy
,
but
they
dreamed
not
of
him
whom
they
had
provoked
by
their
sins
.
But
they
that
feare
God
more
than
man
,
will
bee
sure
to
make
God
sure
,
and
for
the
rest
they
are
fearlesse
.
What
time
(
sayth
David
)
I
am
afrayd
,
Psal.
56
.
3.4●
I
will
trust
in
thee
,
I
will
not
feare
what
man
can
doe
unto
me
.
And
againe
,
Though
an
host
should
encampe
against
me
,
my
heart
shall
not
feare
;
though
warre
should
rise
against
me
,
Psal.
27.3
.
in
this
shall
I
be
confident
.
6.
And
lastly
,
they
feare
man
more
than
God
,
that
forbeare
open
sinnes
that
are
obvious
to
humane
eyes
,
but
make
no
conscience
of
secret
sins
,
of
sins
in
the
heart
;
of
sins
in
darknesse
,
or
in
retired
places
.
Such
,
whose
maxime
is
,
if
not
chastly
yet
cautelously
:
Si
non
caslè
,
tamen
cautè
.
No
matter
for
keeping
sin
uncommitted
,
so
you
keepe
it
unknowne
.
This
was
the
infirmity
of
Iacob
,
My
father
,
Gen.
27.12
.
(
saith
he
)
peraduenture
will
feele
mee
,
and
I
shall
seeme
to
him
a
deceiuer
.
His
feare
was
not
so
much
to
be
,
as
to
seeme
a
deceiver
.
But
it
is
ordinary
with
wicked
men
.

murderer

A
Dehortation
from
those
sinnes
,
that
are
contrary
to
the
feare
of
God
:
And
first
of
Carnall
Security
,
with
the
remedy
thereof
.
THat
part
of
this
treatise
that
is
past
is
more
doctrinal
,
what
follows
shall
bee
more
applicatory
:
and
that
either
Dehortatory
,
or
Exhortatory
.
The
Dehortatory
part
forbids
all
those
siins
that
are
contrary
to
the
feare
of
God
.
And
they
are
diverse
:
some
whereof
are
contrary
to
it
in
excesse
,
&
some
in
defect
.
I
shall
handle
them
in
order
.
1.
One
vice
contrary
to
the
feare
of
God
,
is
carnall
security
;
a
wrtechlesse
carelesnes
;
when
men
are
moved
neither
with
the
threatnings
of
God
in
his
word
;
nor
with
the
execution
of
Gods
iudgements
in
the
world
,
nor
with
the
beginnings
of
GODS
wrath
upon
themselves
.
These
are
the
three
heads
of
this
Hydra
.
1.
When
men
are
not
touched
with
the
denounciation
of
the
comminations
of
God
in
his
word
:
such
are
they
That
when
they
heare
the
words
of
Gods
curse
,
Deut.
29.19.20
.
blesse
themselves
in
their
hearts
,
and
say
they
shall
have
peace
,
although
they
walke
according
to
the
stubbornnesse
of
their
own
hearts
,
adding
drunkennesse
to
thirst
;
sinne
to
sinne
;
running
round
in
the
divells
circle
.
Such
as
make
a
coveant
with
death
,
Isay
.
28.18
.
and
agreement
with
hell
,
as
if
they
should
not
seaze
them
.
Such
as
cry
,
the
vision
is
for
many
dayes
to
come
;
Ezek.
12.27
.
and
the
prophesie
of
the
times
that
are
afarre
off
;
the
evill
shall
not
fall
in
their
dayes
.
Those
that
put
away
farre
from
them
the
evil
day
,
as
in
Amos.
Amos
6.3
.
Those
that
say
in
their
hearts
,
the
Lord
will
doe
neither
good
,
nor
evill
,
as
in
Zephany
.
Zeph.
1.12
And
are
not
most
of
our
age
of
this
guize
?
Doe
not
wee
say
in
our
hearts
?
Come
,
God
will
bee
better
then
his
word
:
Hee
that
hath
made
all
will
save
all
.
Give
the
preachers
leave
to
thunder
,
and
lighten
;
wee
hope
the
best
still
,
no
man
shall
put
us
out
of
heart
.
If
wee
were
not
lulled
asleepe
in
the
cradle
of
security
how
durst
wee
touch
that
forbidden
fruit
,
that
is
guarded
with
Angels
(
preachers
I
mean
,
for
Angell
fignifies
a
Messenger
)
when
they
have
a
flaming
sword
in
their
mouths
,
thretning
ruine
to
us
?
How
durst
wee
teare
the
sacred
name
of
God
,
when
he
hath
threatned
,
that
hee
will
not
huld
him
guiltlesse
,
that
taketh
his
name
in
vaine
?
How
durst
wee
distrust
Gods
word
,
feare
to
defend
a
good
cause
,
commit
adultery
,
or
lye
,
when
God
hath
menaced
,
that
all
fearefull
,
unbeleeving
,
abhominable
,
Revel.

.
murderers
,
adulterers
,
and
all
lyers
,
shall
have
their
part
in
the
Lake
that
burnes
with
fire
and
brimstome
?
No
,
no
,
our
transgression
sayth
to
all
the
world
,
that
there
is
no
feare
of
God
before
our
eyes
,
Psal
36.1
.
as
David
argues
.
2.
It
is
carnall
security
not
to
bee
afrayd
,
when
God
hath
punished
others
for
the
same
sinnes
,
whereof
wee
are
deeply
guilty
,
When
our
neighbours
house
is
on
fire
,
not
to
feare
our
owne
.
Such
were
the
men
of
Laish
,
they
dwelt
carelesly
,
and
securely
,
Iudg.
18.7
.
as
it
is
recorded
of
them
.
And
this
is
our
crime
.
Gods
heavie
Rod
hath
rid
circuit
about
other
nations
,
and
our
Halcyon
dayes
of
peace
make
us
secure
and
carelesse
.
When
a
heathen
can
tell
us

When

feare
most
.
Evill
is
not
confined
to
one
people
,
it
may
goe
forth
from
nation
to
nation
,
as
God
sayth
.
The
prophesies
are
bigge
with
these
expressions
.
It
is
sayd
in
Ezechiel
,
Ier.
25.32
.
Ezek.
32.10
.
I
will
make
many
people
horribly
afrayd
for
thee
,
when
I
shall
brandish
my
sword
afore
them
:
they
shall
tremble
every
moment
,
every
man
for
his
owne
life
,
in
the
day
of
thy
fall
.
And
yet
wee
tremble
not
,
though
God
hath
long
brandisht
his
sword
afore
our
eyes
in
neighbouring
kingdomes
.
God
may
complaine
of
us
,
as
hee
did
of
them
in
Zephany
,
I
have
cut
off
the
nations
about
them
,
Zeph.
3.6.9
.
and
made
their
Cities
waste
:
and
I
sayd
,
surely
thou
wilt
feare
mee
,
thou
wilt
receive
instruction
,
that
thy
dwelling
also
should
not
bee
cut
off
,
but
they
rose
early
,
and
corrupted
all
their
doings
.
This
is
our
case
:
the
Lord
helpe
us
,
and
awaken
us
.
As
if
wee
were
better
than
our
neighbours
,
or
more
able
to
oppose
our
enemies
,
if
God
should
let
them
in
.
I
may
take
up
that
question
to
England
,
that
God
asked
Nineveh
;
Art
thou
better
than
populous
No
,
Nahum
3.8
,

,
10.
situate
among
the
Rivers
,
whose
rampart
was
the
sea
?
Ethiopia
and
Egypt
were
her
strength
,
yet
shee
went
into
captivitie
.
So
may
I
say
,
O
England
,
art
thou
better
than
Germany
,
which
now
lies
bleeding
under
desolation
?
If
thou
art
not
better
,
why
art
thou
secure
,
when
shee
is
ruined
?
3
It
is
carnall
security
,
not
to
bee
terrified
with
the
beginnings
of
Gods
wrath
.
And
it
may
bee
sayd
of
us
,
as
Salvian
speakes
of
his
times
,
Nos
non
●icinos

,

Wee
have
not
onely
seene
our
neighbours
burning
,
but
we
our selves
also
have
been
scorched
more
than
once
,
more
than
one
way
,
and
yet
wee
feare
not
the
flame
.
God
hath
begun
with
us
,
by
sending
the
Moth
spoken
of
in
Hosea
;
Hos.
5.12
.
which
moth
insensibly
eates
out
the
heart
of
trading
in
England
,
Hos
,
5.12
.
so
that
it
was
never
at
so
dead
an
ebb
.
The
time
was
(
as
it
is
in
the
Prophet
)
when
Ephraim
spake
,
Hos.
13.1
.
there
was
trembling
;
so
when
England
spake
,
there
was
trembling
:
but
now
other
Nations
slight
us
.
Wee
may
say
(
as
David
did
)
God
goes
not
forth
with
our
Armies
.
Psal.
60.10
.
All
this
wise
men
see
and
know
,
and
wee
are
daily
minded
of
it
,
together
with
the
plagues
,
agues
,
famines
droughts
,
and
unseasonable
seasons
,
that
wee
have
felt
:
And
yet
what
man
among
us
abates
one
drunken
cuppe
for
all
this
?
Wee
are
as
jolly
,
as
thoughtlesse
,
as
secure
,
as
if
wee
were
in
the
third
heaven
.
Wee
verifie
that
that
Antonius
Pius
spake
of
the
Christians
,
that
when
earth-quakes
came
,
they
were
securest
.
This
lethargy
is
too
sure
our
disease
.
I
can
runne
no
better
course
to
rouze
us
out
of
this
leaden
slumber
,
this
dead
sleepe
,
then
to
prove
;
that
wee
are
not
the
more
,
but
the
lesse
safe
for
our
security
:
And
when
our
mischeife
arrives
,
it
wil
bee
the
more
unsufferable
the
more
unexpected
it
is
.
Will
wee
beleeve
God
affirming
it
?
Hee
that
when
hec
heares
this
curse
blesses
himselfe
and
promises
to
himselfe
peace
,
Deut.
29.19.20
.
the
Lord
will
not
spare
him
,
his
anger
shal
smoak
against
him
,
&
all
the
curses
written
in
this
book
shall
:
fall
upon
him
,
and
the
Lord
will
blot
out
his
name
from
under
heauen
.

and

But
there
came
a
fearfull
message
from
heaven
to
him
,
Thou
fool
this
night
shall
thy
soule
be
taken
from
thee
,
and
then
whose
shall
all
these
things
bee
that
thou
hast
provided
?
It
was
the
old
worlds
case
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
,
they
were
eating
and
drinking
,
marrying
and
giving
in
marriage
,
till
the
day
that
Noah
entred
into
the
Arke
,
Mat
24.38.39
.
and
they
knew
not
,
till
the
flood
came
,
and
tooke
them
all
away
.
And
such
shall
Christs
second
comming
bee
,
like
a
snare
it
shall
fall
upon
the
world
,
when
they
least
thinke

when

are

in
security
.
When

Little

dreampt

Acts

they
lied

,
that

Load
an

(
saith

hee

hee

him

hee

What

When

Wee
shall
shew

than

,
if
wee
precipitate
our selves
into

wayes
wherein
God
stands
with

sword
,
eternally
to
destroy
us
.
Nay
(
to
drive
this

,
and
to
lay
the

to

)
if
wee
bee
secure
and
fearelesse
,
wee
shall
prove
ourselves
in
our

,
to
bee
worse
than
the

For
Saint
Iames
sayth
of
them
,
that
they
beleeve
and
tremble
.
Iames
2.19
.
They
beleeve
Gods
threates
,
and
tremble
at
his
wrath
.
In
a
word
,
as
it
is
a
miserie
,
that
Death
should
be
to
a
man
the
first
symptome
of
his
sicknesse
;
so
that
man
is
to
bee
bewayled
with
teares
of
blood
,
that
awakes
not
,
till
hee
bee
in
hell
,
when
it
is
too
late
.
All
these
considerations
layd
together
,
and
well
weighed
,
cannot
eradicate
this
poysonous
roote
of
carnall
securitie
,
that
is
so
diametrically
,
and
so
unreconcileably
opposite
to
the
feare
of
GOD.

feare
and

will
be
a

in

Of
audacious
presumption
in
sinning
,
and
the
antidote
against
it
.
A
Second
sinne
that
is
contrary
to
the
feare
of
God
,
is
presumptuous
audaciousnesse
,
or
an
audacious
presumption
in
sinning
.
It
differs
from
security
onely
in
degree
:
for
securitie
is
onely
a
privation
of
feare
;
but
presumption
is
joyned
with
an
accession
of
boldnesse
.
Indeed
it
is
securitie
strained
to
the
highest
pegge
,
and
dipped
in
a
scarlet
dye
.
Cyclopica
audacia
.
Aliaque

Eulia

Superûm
.
The
Heathen
use
to
call
it
a
boldnesse
like
that
of
the
Gyants
spoken
off
by
Ovid
;
A
generation
that
despised
God
,
and
heaped
mountaine
upon
mountaine
,
Pelion
upon
Ossa
,
and
Olympus
upon
Pelion
,
as
if
they
would
dethrone
God
himself
.
Such
are
all
those
that
harbour
blasphemous
thoghts
,
or
such
as
belch
out
blasphemous
words
,
that
reflect
upon
God
either
directly
,
or
by
consequence
:
and
those
that
in
their
actions
passe
the
bounds
of
all
modesty
,
like
that
unjust
Iudge
,
that
neither
feared
God
,
Luke
18.2
nor
regarded
man
.
1.
There
is
an
audacious
presumption
in
the
thoughts
.
Psal.
14.1
.
The
foole
hath
sayd
in
his
heart
there
is
no
God
.
Thou
thoughtest
(
sayth
God
to
the
wicked
)
that
I
was
such
a
one
as
thy selfe
:
Psal.
50.21
.
As
if
hee
should
say
,
thou
imaginest
that
I
am
a
favourer
of
theevery
,
adultery
,
and
slandering
.
And
the
spectator
of
all
hearts
knowes
,
that
our
breasts
are
a
daily
stithy
,
an
anvill
wherein
are
forged
,
whereon
are
framed
many
horrid
thoughts
of
God
,
his
worship
,
his
servants
:
such
thoughts
as
wee
dare
not
utter
.
So
that
we
had
need
to
pray
,
that
the
thoughts
of
our
hearts
may
bee
forgiven
us
,
as
Saint
Peter
counselled
Simon
Magus
.
Acts
8.22
.
But
in
this
we
must
leave
men
to
stand
or
fall
to
their
owne
masters
.
2.
There
is
an
audacious
presumption
in
words
,
when
the
poyson
of
Aspes
is
under
mens
lips
:
Rom.
3.13
when
men
bid
God
battell
,
and
stand
in
defiance
against
him
.
And
that
is
done
,
1.
By
that
which
we
strictly
call
blasphemy
,
when
mens
tongues
doe
not
onely
walk
throgh
the
earth
,
but
they
also
set
their
mouthes
against
the
heavens
,
Psal.
73.9
.
as
David
speakes
.
Such
was
Lamech
,
Gen.
4.23.24
.
sayth
hee
to
his
wives
in
a
bravery
,
I
will
slay
a
young
man
in
my
wounding
:
If
Cain
be
avenged
seven
fold
,
Lamech
shall
be
seventie
times
seven
fold
:
As
if
he
should
say
,
I
wil
slay
the
best
man
that
shall
but
never
so
little
offend
me
.
And
if
God
punishes
Cain
seven
times
,
I
will
be
revenged
seventy
seven
times
upon
him
that
but
razes
my
skin
.
He
would
be
more
severe
than
an
enraged
God
.
Such
was
Pharaoh
(
as
his
words
report
him
)
Who
is
the
Lord
that
I
should
they
him
to
let
Israel
goe
I
know
not
the
Lord
,
Exod.
5.2
.
neither
will
I
let
Israel
goe
;
As
if
hee
should
say
,
I
know
no
Lord
greater
than
my selfe
.
Such
was
Senaccherib
,
the
Assyrian
King
,
who
sent
this
message
to
good
King
Hezekiah
,
Let
not
thy
God
in
whom
thou
trustest
,
2
Kin.
19.10.11
.
deceive
thee
,
telling
thee
that
Ierusalem
shall
not
bee
delivered
into
my
hand
.
Which
words
Hezekiah
calleth
,
A
reproaching
of
the
living
God
.
Such
were
those
that
in
Iob
,
say
unto
God
,
Depart
from
us
,
wee
desire
not
the
knowledge
of
thy
wayes
:
Iob.
21.14
15.
What
is
the
Almighty
,
that
wee
should
serve
him
?
And
those
that
sayd
,
With
our
tongues
we
wil
prevaile
,
Psal.
12.4
.
our
lips
are
our
own
,
who
is
Lord
over
us
?
Your
words
(
sayth
God
)
have
beene
stout
against
mee
;
Mat.
3.13.14
.
yee
have
sayd
,
It
is
in
vaine
to
serve
God
.
And
I
have
read
of
a
king
,
who
having
received
a
strange
blow
from
heaven
,
vowed
hee
would
be
revenged
upon
God
;
and
therfore
gave
strict
commandement
,
that
for
ten
yeares
,
no
man
should
speake
to
God
,
or
of
God
.
And
many
of
the
Popes
and
Papalins
have
not
fallen
much
short
of
those
monsters
of
men
,
if
some
of
their
own
authours
say
true
.
The
time
would
fayle
me
,
should
I
reckon
to
you
their
numerous
blasphemies
,
that
no
truly
Christian
eare
can
brooke
.
Leo
the
tenth
,
called
the
Gospella
fable
of
Christ
.
And
one
of
his
slaves
sayd
,
that
without
the
the
testimony
of
the
Church
the
Scriptures
are
no
more
authenticall
than
A●sops
fables
Another
sayes
,
that
if
the
Pope
should
carry
troopes
of
soules
with
him
to
Hell
,
no
man
should
dare
to
say
to
him
,
Domine
cur
ita
sacis
?
Sir
,
why
doe
you
so
?
Another
sayes
,
that
there
is
well-neare
as
much
vertue
in
the
mothers
milke
,
as
in
the
sonnes
blood
.
Another
in
the
Counsell
of
Trent
,
called
the
cup
in
the
Lords
supper
,
a
cup
of
poyson
.
What
is
this
,
but
to
afront
,
to
out-face
,
to
dare
God
,
to
challenge
him
?
And
there
are
but
too
many
loose
Protestanes
,
that
give
their
tongues
strange
liberty
to
invey
against
GOD
,
and
all
godlines
.
Black
months
,
tongues
set
on
fire
of
hell
:
such
as
dare
say
,
Religion
is
but
a
devise
to
keepe
men
in
awe
.
Preaching
is
but
prating
:
A
religious
life
is
but
a
male
contented
life
.
He
that
useth
plain
dealing
,
shall
dye
a
beggar
.
A
young
Saint
,
an
old
Divell
.
The
heavens
blush
to
see
such
foame
to
come
forth
from
Christian
mens
mouthes
.
2.
There
is
a
presumption
in
words
,
that
displayes
it selfe
in
justifying
and
defending
of
sinne
,
calling
evill
good
,
Isay
5.20
.
and
good
evill
light
darknesse
,
and
darknesse
light
:
sweete
bitter
,
and
bitter
sweet
,
as
the
Prophet
speakes
.
Aequo
certamine
c●rtat
cum
Deo
,
qui
quod
Deus
odit
,
d●sendit
.
Hee
enters
the
lists
,
and
sights
with
God
hand
to
hand
,
who
defends
what
God
hates
.
Herein
Ionah
much
forgot
himselfe
,
when
GOD
sayd
to
him
,
Doest
thou
well
to
be
angry
?
Iona.
4.9
.
Hee
answered
,
I
dowel
to
be
angry
even
to
death
.
This
is
to
provoke
the
holy
one
of
Israel
to
anger
,
Isay
,
1.4
.
as
Esay
speakes
.
3.
It
is
the
highest
degree
of
presumption
to
boast
of
sinne
.
None
but
brazen
browes
can
doe
that
.
Isay
48.4
.
Hee
that
is
shamelesse
is
fearlesse
.
It
is
wrong
enough
to
God
to
worship
an
Idol
:
But
(
sayth
David
)
confounded
bee
all
they
that
boast
themselves
of
Idols
.
Psal.
97.7
.
If
a
man
may
vaunt
of
his
sins
,
then
let
the
prisoner
glory
in
his
fetters
:
the
dogge
in
his
vomit
,
and
the
infefected
person
in
his
plague-sore
.
This
is
presumption
in
language
.
3.
There
is
presumption
in
action
,
1.
When
a
man
dishonoureth
God
in
that
place
,
wherein
GOD
uses
,
and
ought
to
bee
worshipped
;
namely
,
the
Temple
.
This
is
to
abuse
God
to
his
face
,
and
in
his
own
house
.
Hos.
7.2
.
2.
When
a
man
wilfully
dishonours
God
in
a
time
of
generall
humiliation
,
when
others
are
be
wayling
their
sins
afore
God
.
3.
When
a
man
sets
himselfe
,
as
in
the
presence
of
God
,
and
yet
then
dissembles
with
his
lips
.
As
those
(
that
with
Saint
Augustine
before
his
conversion
)
pray
against
lust●
,
and
yet
secretly
wish
,
that
God
would
not
heare
their
prayer
.
And
all
that
with
spleenfull
spirits
come
to
the
Communion
,
professing
before
God
,
that
they
are
reconciled
unto
their
brethren
,
when
they
intend
no
such
thing
.
And
those
preachers
that
willingly
deliver
unsound
doctrine
to
the
people
,
onely
to
corrupt
them
,
using
the
Name
of
God
to
poyson
their
hearers
,
doing
what
in
them
lies
,
to
make
God
a
lyer
.
In
a
word
,
knights
of
the
Post
,
with
their
hackny
consciences
,
that
dare
in
a
false
oath
cal
down
God
to
testifie
to
an
untruth
;
which
is
so
horrid
a
crime
,
that
I
am
perswaded
,
that
many
a
man
now
damned
in
hel
,
would
have
been
ashamed
to
bee
guilty
of
.
4.
When
a
man
therfore
breaks
a
commandment
,
merely
because
it
is
a
command
.
As
St.
Augustine
confessed
,
that
in
his
youth
he
robbed
an
orchard
,
not
because
hee
wanted
apples
,
Gens
●umanaruit
in
v●titum
resat
.
for
hee
had
as
good
,
or
better
at
home
;
but
only
because
he
coveted
what
was
forbidden
.
5.
When
therefore
a
man
abuses
GOD
more
,
because
God
is
patient
and
long
suffering
.
Which
sordidnesse
of
humane
disposition
Salomon
takes
notice
of
,
and
brands
.
Because
(
saith
hee
)
sentence
against
an
evill
worke
is
not
executed
speedily
,
Eccle.
8.11
.
therefore
the
heart
of
the
sonnes
of
men
is
fully
set
in
them
to
doe
mischiefe
.
This
is
to
sight
against
God
with
his
own
weapon
.
To
turne
his
grace
into
wantonnesse
.
6.
When
man
runs
into
a
knowne
grosse
sin
,
that
Gods
watchmen
his
ministers
have
newly
warned
him
of
,
or
then
when
the
Holy
spirit
of
God
suggests
motions
to
him
to
the
contrary
.
This
is
to
quench
the
Spirit
,
and
to
despise
prophesying
;
1
Thes.
5.19.20
.
Acts
7.51
.
1
Thes.
4.8
.
to
resist
the
holy
Ghost
and
his
instruments
.
Lastly
,
when
a
man
the
more
revolts
from
God
,
the
more
hee
is
smitten
,
Isay
1.5
.
as
they
in
Isay
.
Like
Pharoh
,
whose
heart
was
the
more
hardned
,
the
more
,
&
the
sorer
plagues
God
inflicted
on
him
.
Like
the
Thracians
,
that
then
shoot
their
arrowes
against
heaven
,
when
it
thunders
;
and
lightens
.
Like
Augustus
,
who
having
beene
tempest
tost
at
Sea
;
defied
Neptune
the
Sea-God
,
and
in
the
middest
of
his
Circean
sports
,
hee
caused
his
im
ge
to
be
pulled
downe
,
to
bee
revenged
of
him
.
Like
Xerxes
,
whoscourged
the
sea
,
and
wrote
a
bill
of
defiance
against
the
hill
Athos
,
because
they
intercepted
him
in
his
expedition
.
Me
thinkes
the
very
naming
of
these
things
,
should
move
us
to
ab
horre
them
.
But
to
win
more
upon
our
affectio
is
,
let
us
consider
1.
That
this
audacious
presumption
is
a
despising
of
God
.
He
that
feares
not
GOD
,
Quod
non
metuitur
contemnitur
Lactant.
Pial
.
10
,
13
contemnes
him
.
Wherefore
doe
the
wicked
despise
God
?
(
sayth
David
.
)
For
a
superiour
to
despise
his
inferiour
,
is
no
wonder
;
but
for
a
peasant
to
despise
his
Prince
:
for
a
peece
of
clay
,
for
a
worme
,
to
slight
his
maker
,
is
intolerable
.
Hee
that
despiseth
me
,
1
Sam.
2.30
.
shall
be
lightly
esteemed
,
(
sayth
God
.
)
Saint
Paul
was
grieved
at
heart
,
that
by
sinnes
of
infirmity
hee
offended
his
God
.
The
evill
(
sayth
hee
)
that
I
would
not
,
I
do
.
Rom.
7.19.24
.
O
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliver
mee
from
this
body
of
sinne
?
Shall
hee
groane
under
infirmities
,
and
shall
wee
make
no
conscience
of
presumptions
?
God
forbid
.
3.
What
doest
thou
meane
,
fond
man
,
to
wrest
Thunder-bolts
out
of
the
hand
of
God
,
that
would
delight
to
powre
blessings
upon
thee
?
Who
hath
hardened
himselfe
against
God
,

and
prospered

2
Kings

Sennacherib
slighted
GOD
,
and
the
fruit
of
it

,
an
Angell

ni●ht
slew

,
consisting
of
one
hundred
eighty

thousand
men
;
and
he
himselfe
returning

,
was
slaine
by
his
owne
sonnes

.
Libanius
a
Philosopher
at
Antioch
,
demanding
of
a
good
Christian
in

,
How
the
Carpenters
son

)
busied
himselfe
?
He
answered

,
that
he

for

and
indeed
,
hee
presently
after
dyed
.
In
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
510.
one
Olympius
,
an
Arrian
Bishop
,
in
a
B●th
at
Carthage
,
blasphemed
openly
the
holy
Trinity
:
and
the
words
were
scarce
out
of
his
mouth
,
but
lightning
descended
thrice
from

and
at

Iulian
,
the
uncle
of
the
Emperour
Iulian
,
comming
into
a
Christian
Church
,
pissed
in
despight
,
upon
the
Communion
Table
,
and
struck
Euzoius
for
reproving
him
for
it
.
But
shortly
after
,
his
entrails
rotted
;
and
he
voyded
his
excrements
at
his
mouth
,
and
dyed
.
And
Foelix

You
will
say
,
wee
hope
none
of
us
shall
ever
runne
into
these
extremities
.
But
yet
let
us
know
,
that
every
presumptuous
sin
against
God
,
binds
us
over
to
as
great
mischiefes
,
as
any
I
have
named
.
Will
wee
beleeve
Saint
Paul
?
If
(
sayth
hee
)
wee
sin
wilfully
,
Heb.
10.26.27
.
after
we
have
received
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
there
remains
no
more
sacrifice
for
sin
,
but
a
fearfull
ezpectation
of
judgement
,
2
Pet.
2.9.10
.
and
fiery
indignation
.
The
presumptuous
are
reserved
unto
the
day
of
judgement
,
sayth
Saint
Peter
.
The
arrowes
thou
shootest
against
heaven
,
shall
fall
back

Woe
to
him
(
saith
the
Prophet
)
that
striveth
with

let

the
waves
by
striking
against
a
rocke
?
they
stirre
not
that
,
but
dash
themselves
in
peeces
.
It
is
hard
for
thee
to
kick
against
the
prickes
,
sayth
our
Saviour
to
Saul
.
Acts
9.5
.
If
you
walk
contrary
to
me
,
Lev.
26.23.24
.
(
sayth
God
)
I
wil
walk
contrary
to
you
.
Oh
then
let
that
of
David
bee
our
prayer
,
Psal.
19.13
Keepe
back
thy
servant
from
presumptuous
from
presumptuous
sinnes
,
let
them
not
have
dominion
over
mee
:
then
shall
I
be
upright
,
and
innocent
from
the
great
transgression
.
This
presumption
is
a
second
vice
contrary
to
the
feare
of
GOD.
And
therefore
Salomon
opposes
hardning
of
the
necke
unto
feare
.
Pro.
28.14
.
And
Aristotle
sayth
,
that
those
that
are
fearlesse
,
they
slight
God
and
man
:
they
are
audacious
and
presumptuous
.
This
is
the
Goliah
that
biddeth
defiance
to
God
.
CHAP.

Of
Superstitious
feare
:
and
the
counter
poyson
against
it
.
A
Third
sinne
that
is
opposite
to
the
true
feare
of
God
,
is
Superstitious
▪
Feare
,
when
men
feare
where
no
feare
is
,
as
the
Psalmist
speakes
.
Psal.
53.5
.
That
is
,
where
no
true
ground
of
feare
is
.
And
this
may
be
,
1.
When
men
feare
to
doe
that
which
God
permits
and
allowes
to
be
done
.
Thus
the
Iewes
feared
to
name
the
name
Iehovah
:
they
thought
the
high
Priest
onely
might
name
it
:
and
that
but
once
in
the
yeare
,
and
that
only
in
the
holy
of
Holies
.
Such
were
the
Christians
newly
converted
:
they
yet
scrupulously
observed
dayes
,
and
obstained
from
meates
,
as
upon
imediate
tye
of
conscience
from
God
.
Such
are
some
Romans
also
,
that
feare
more
to
eate
an
egge
at
some
set
times
,
than
they
feare
to
sweare
or
curse
,
or
drinke
drunke
.
Again
,
they
feare
to
allow
marriage
to
Priests
,
which
God
allowes
.
Have
not
wee
power
,
(
sayth
Saint
Paul
)
to
lead
about
a
sister
,
1
Cor.
9.5
.
a
wife
,
as
well
as
other
Apostles
?
whereof
Saint
Peter
was
one
.
Heb.
13.4
.
Marriage
is
honourable
in
all
men
,
sayth
the
Apostle
.
This
is
a
superstitious
feare
,
to
dread
that
as
unlawfull
,
which
God
hath
left
as
indifferent
,
which
we
may
doe
,
or
not
doe
.
2.
When
men
feare
to
do
that
,
that
God
doth
indeed
indispensably
command
.
As
the
church
of
Rome
feares
to
suffer
the
Laity
to
read
the
Scripture
in
a
knowne
tongue
;
when
Christ
hath
strictly
inioynd
the
searching
of
the
Scipture
upon
all
.
Iohn
5.39
.
And
they
feare
,
upon
the
pretence
of
many
ridiculous
consequences
to
grant
to
the
laity
,
the
cup
in
the
Eucharist
,
though
by
the
deniall
thereof
they
prove
themselves
enemies
to
the
primitive
institution
of
the
Sacrament
,
1
Cor.
11.23.24.25
.
as
St.
Paul
relates
it
.
Thus
the
Anabaptists
,
feare
to
take
an
oath
afore
a
magistrate
,
when
an
oath
lawfully
taken
is
a
part
of
Gods
worship
.
Thou
shalt
sweare
,
saith
the
prophet
,
Ier.
4.2
.
the
Lord
lives
:
that
is
,
upon
warrantable
occasion
.
If
(
saith
God
)
they
will
learne
my
wayes
,
Ier.
12.16
.
to
swear
by
my
name
they
shall
be
built
in
the
midst
of
my
people
.
Heb.
6.16
.
For
an
oath
for
cofirmation
is
to
men
an
end
of
al
strife
,
saith
Paul
Again
the
Anabaptists
feare
to
wage
warre
for
any
cause
whatsoever
,
when
indeed
there
is
a
curse
denounced
against
them
that
will
not
helpe
the
LORD
against
the
mighty
.
Iudg.
5.23
.
They
will
say
,
that
was
under
the
Law
.
But
what
can
they
answer
then
to
our
Saviours
words
,
Hee
that
hath
no
sword
,
Luke
.
22.36
.
let
him
sell
his
garment
and
buy
one
?
3.
When
men
feare
to
omit
that
,
that
God
no
where
commands
,
as
the
Romanists
do
too
often
.
Of
which
their
superstitions
,
God
may
justly
say
as
hee
did
of
the
Israelites
wil●
worship
,
Ier.
32.35
.
I
commanded
it
not
,
neither
came
it
into
my
minde
.
4.
When
men
feare
to
omit
that
that
God
forbids
;
as
Papists
feare
to
ore-slip
the
adoration
of
a
Saint
,
or
of
an
Angell
,
against
which
adoration
Gods
jealousie
smokes
.
Thou
shalt
worship
the
Lord
thy
God
,
Mat.
4.10
.
and
him
onely
shalt
thou
serve
,
sayth
Christ
.
In
a
word
,
there
is
a
superstitions
feare
,
when
men
are
troubled
at
the
crossing
of
hare
the
f●lling
of
the
salt
toward
them
,
and
stumbling
at
the
threshold
,
and
thinke
these
things
ominous
,
inauspicious
,
d●s●●s●●ous
.
When
men
are
daunted
at
the
conjunctions
of
the
Planets
,
and
other
stars
in
their
severall
houses
.
These
vanities
God
dehorts
his
people
from
,
as
heathenish
,
and
not
becomming
the
servants
of
God
.
Thus
sayth
the
Lord
,
Learne
not
the
way
of
the
Heathen
,
and
be
not
dismayd
at
the
signes
of
heaven
,
for
the
Heathen
are
dismayd
at
them
,
Ier.
10.2.3
.
and
the
customes
of
the
people
are
vaine
These
foolish
fears
,
and
the
true
feare
of
God
cannot
stand
together
.
In
the
multitude
of
dreames
,
and
words
,
Eccles.
5.7
are
divers
vanities
,
but
feare
thou
God●
as
Salomon
speakes
.
These
are
the
severall
kindes
of
superstitious
feare
;
though
those
that
are
guilty
of
some
of
these
kindes
of
feare
,
shall
rise
up
in
judgement
against
many
of
us
.
As
they
that
thinke
it
unlawfull
to
sweare
at
all
,
shall
condemne
those
that
stuffe
their
common
speech
with
oathes
,
and
those
that
forsweare
themselves
.
And
they
that
thinke
it
unlawfull
to
warre
,
or
to
go
to
suite
at
all
,
shall
condemne
those
that
thirst
after
blood
:
and
like
Salamanders
love
to
live
in
the
flame
of
contention
;
yet
we
must
be
dehorted
from
this
scrupulous
feare
.
1.
Because
it
argues
a
weaknesse
in
our
judgement
,
when
wee
know
not
the
bounds
&
precincts
of
our
Christian
liberty
:
when
we
know
not
what
wee
may
doe
,
what
we
must
do
,
what
wee
need
not
to
doe
,
what
wee
ought
not
to
do
;
what
is
necessarie
,
what
is
unlawfull
,
what
is
adiaphorous
,
indifferent
.
And
therefore
S.
Paul
calls
one
,
whom
every
thing
scandalizes
,
weak
in
the
faith
.
Rom.
14.1
2.
To
frame
to
our selves
doubts
and
scruples
where
God
makes
none
,
is
to
doe
both
what
is
thanklesse
,
and
what
is
hatefull
.
It
is
thanklesse
:
for
God
wil
say
to
us
,
as
to
them
in
Isaiah
,
Isay
.
1.12
.
Who
hath
required
these
things
at
your
hands
?
Nay
,
it
is
hatefull
.
Hatefull
to
good
men
;
I
hate
them
that
regard
superstitious
vanities
.
Psal.
31.6
.
Hatefull
to
God
.
They
have
chosen
their
owne
wayes
(
sayth
God
)
I
will
bring
their
feares
upon
them
,
Isay
66.3.4
.
because
they
have
chosen
that
,
wherein
I
delighted
not
.
We
know
,
that
with
us
,
nothing
is
more
nauseous
,
more
tedious
,
than
that
man
,
who
upon
an
ignorant
feare
to
offend
us
,
leaves
undone
that
,
that
we
wold
willingly
have
done
,
or
importunately
!
fastens
that
upon
us
,
which
we
count
a
trouble
.
CHAP.
XIIII
.
Of
the
servile
feare
of
God
.
A
Fourth
sinne
,
contrary
to
the
true
feare
of
God
,
is
,
the
servile
or
slavish
feare
of
God
:
when
men
feare
him
only
for
that
treasurie
of
wrath
,
which
hee
hath
in
his
hand
,
and
can
at
his
pleasure
powre
in
full
viols
upon
us
,
both
in
this
life
and
eternally
.
This
was
King
Abimelechs
the
pagans
feare
.
This
was
Balaams
the
witches
feare
.
This
was
Iudasses
,
the
traytors
f●are
,
which
we
are
to
be
dehorted
from
1.
Because
it
moves
a
man
to
run
from
God
,
who
is
the
fountaine
of
all
our
good
,
as
a
slave
would
runne
from
his
master
,
or
as
a
Felon
would
faine
breake
prison
,
that
hee
might
never
see
the
face
of
his
Iudge
.
2.
Because
it
workes
in
man
a
hatred
of
God
,
so
that
hee
oft
wishes
,
that
there
were
no
God
,
or
that
God
were
blind
,
that
hee
might
not
bee
an
eye-witnesse
of
his
wickednesse
,
or
that
he
were
impotent
,
unable
to
punish
him
for
his
rebellion
.
It
is
as
true
of
a
servile
fearer
of
God
,
as
it
was
of
Saul
,
that
the
more
he
feared
David
,
1
Sam.
18.29
.
the
more
hee
became
his
enemy
.
3.
Because
it
makes
a
man
an
hpocrite
:
It
suffers
him
onely
to
avoid
those
sinnes
that
are
of
the
grossest
bulke
,
that
doe
lay
waste
the
conscience
.
Vastare
conscientim
.
It
moves
him
onely
to
forbeare
,
but
not
to
mortifie
his
sin
.
Lastly
,
this
servile
feare
is
but
an
earnest
of
hell
torments
in
many
a
wretched
soule
.
They
that
consider
this
,
will
grant
me
,
that
such
a
feare
as
this
is
to
bee
crucified
with
the
rest
of
the
body
of
sin
.
Not
that
it
is
unlawfull
to
feare
God
for
his
judgements
;
but
to
feare
him
for
his
judgements
onely
:
that
is
up
on
no
other
,
nor
better
ground
.
I
plead
not
that
this
feare
should
bee
wholly
abolished
,
but
that
it
may
bee
rectifi●d
●nd
perfected
,
otherwise
it
is
the
daughter
of
Infidelity
,
the
sister
of
hatred
,
and
the
mother
of
despaire
.
CHAP.
XV.
Of
the
excessive
feare
of
the
creature
.
AF●ft
Sinne
that
fights
aginst
the
kindly
feare
of
God
is
the
excessiue
feare
of
the
creature
;
When
man
feares
man
,
or
any
other
creature
either
equally
with
,
or
more
then
God
.
And
this
we
are
dehorted
from
.
1.
Because
;
as
the
throne
,
and
the
bed
can
brooke
no
rivalls
;
neither
can
God
endure
that
the
feare
due
to
him
,
shold
bee
given
to
another
.
Heare
how
zelously
hee
expostulates
the
case
:
Isay
51.12
13.
Who
art
thou
,
that
thou
sholdst
be
affrayd
of
a
man
,
that
shall
dye
;
and
of
the
son
of
man
,
that
shall
be
made
as
grasse
,
and
forgettest
the
Lord
thy
maker
,
that
strecheth
forth
the
heavens
,
and
layd
the
foundation
of
the
earth
?
And
againe
.
Isay
57.11
.
Of
whom
hast
thou
beene
affrayd
,
or
feard
;
that
thou
hast
not
remembred
mee
and
thou
fearest
mee
not
?
Indeed
this
is
idolatry
,
and
Sacriledge
;
to
preferr●●
the
creature
afore
th●●
creator
.
2.
This
ouer-fearing
of
man
is
a
flood-gat●
that
lets
in
much
mischief
.
Gen.
20.1
.
It
made
Abrhaam
deny
his
wife
Sarah
.
It
made
Ionas
when
he
was
sent
to
Niniveh
,
Ion.
1.2.3
.
to
fly
to
Tarshish
.
It
made
St.
Peter
to
deny
his
master
with
an
oath
,
and
a
bitter
execration
.
Had
wee
not
need
then
to
make
head
against
it
?
3.
It
is
a
ridiculous

brainelesse

Aug.
reasonlesse
thing
to
feare

then
God
.
Wee
use
to
laugh
at
children
that
feare
a
vizour
more
,
then
the
man
that
weares
it
.
Saint
Austin
imputes
it
to
mans
extreme
folly
.
Men
feare
the
prison
;
but
they
feare
nor
hell
;
Contemne
potes●tem
timendo
maiorem
potestatem
.
they
feare
temporall
torment
,
but
they
feare
not
the
paines
of
unquencheable
sire
.
They
feare
the
first
,
but
not
the
second
death
.
Despise
(
saith
hee
)
man
his
power
by
dreading
a
supremer
power
.
And
again
(
saith
he
)
God
commands
one
thing
the
Emperour
another
,
what
must
a
mans
answere
bee
Pardon

you

he
)
What

He

Every

may
answere

as
Christ
answered
Pilate
Knowst

(
saith
Pilate
)
that
it
is
in
my
power
to
crucify
thee
?
Ioh.

our

an
answered
;
thou
couldst
have
no
power
at
all
against
mee
,
execept
it
were
given
thee
from
above
.
Now
who
wold
feare
a
sword
that
is
in
the
hand
of
him
that
loves
him
?
Who
wold
feare
a
slave
,
or
Scullion
more
then
the
Lord
,
&
master
?
We
wold
hisse
at
that
man
,
who
shold
feare
an
under-officer
,
having
a
royall
protection
from
his
King
.
4.
Hee
that
for
the
feare
of
man
injureth
his
God
,
many
times
looseth
God
,
and
man
both
,
and
is
secured
neither
way
.
I
have
read
,
that
a
remorslesse
wretch
,
having
his
enemy
at
an
aduantage
,
held
a
pistoll
at
his
brest
,
and
wisht
him
,
if
hee
loved
his
life
,
to
renounce
his
GOD.
To
save
his
life
,
hee
did
so
;
where
upon
hee
pistold
him
,
with
these
words
,
now
my
revenge
is
perfect
,
both
upon
thy
body
and
thy
soule
.
Wee
see
how
little
the
feare
of
man
will
advantage
us
.
For
in
this
sence
,
hee
that
wold
save
his
life
,
may
chance
to
loose
it
,
as
our
Saviour
admonisheth

A
Serious
exhortation
to
the
feare
of
God
,
and
first
of
the
manner
,
how
we
ought
to
feare
him
.
What
is
past
is
Dehortatory
;
what
is
behind
shall
bee
exhortatory
.
Now
I
have
untaught
the
false
fears
I
must
have
leave
to
teach
the
true
feare
of
God
.
Every
plant
,
that
God
hath
not
planted
must
bee
rooted
up
,
and
the
true
bred
feare
of
God
must
be
implanted
in
our
harts
.
And
there
are
not
more
pathetical
moving
,
zealous
,
frequent
counsells
,
commands
exhortations
to
any
theological
vertue
,
to
any
grace
,
then
to
this
royall
grace
of
the
feare
of
God
.
It
is
Gods
wish
.
Oh
that
there
were
such
a
hart
in
my
people
to
feare
mee
!
It
is
his
commandement
thrice
imposed
in
one
chapter
:
the
booke
of
Deuteronomy
is
ful
of
this
theam
,
Deut.
5.29
Deut.
6.1.2.13.24
.
Deut.
10.12

Now
O
Israel
,
what
doth
the
Lord
thy
God
require
of
thee
,
but
to
feare
him
.
And
in
this
Deuteronomy
is
a
right
Deuteronomy
,
repeating
this
law
the
second
time
,
for
so
the
word
imports
)
nay
again
;
and
again
almost
in
every
chapter
:
certainly
there
is
much
in
it
,
else
there
needed
not
such
redoubled
iterations
,
and
inculcations
.
This
was
a
lesson
that
God
himselfe
wold
vouchsafe
to
teach
from
heaven
,
and
hee
required
that
parents
shold
instill
it
into
their
children
.

Our
Saviour
divides
the
old
testament
into
Moses
the
Psalmes
and
the
prophets
.
Luke

.
And
all
these
bookes
often
and
seriously
commend
the
feare
of
God
to
us
.
We
have
heard
Moses
,
now
for

.
Let
all

Feare

King
saith
St.
Peter
Wee
see
that
the
feare
of
God
is
not
out
of
date
under
the
gospell
.
The
glad
tidings
of
greet
joy
exclude
not
a
holy
feare
.
Neither
are
ignoble
,
poore
men
only
obliged
to
feare
God
,
but
also
the
greatest
He
,
or
she

,
Psal.

but
they
are
but
men
afore
God
.
Their
inferiours
feare
them
,
and
they
must
feare
God
.
This
feare
is
imposed
upon
Rulers
,
The
God
of
Israel
sayd
,
the
rocke
of
Israel
spake
to
me
:
hee
that

Take

for
you

for

wherefore
let

but
not

but

from
this
yoak
.
And
now
let
mee
doe
as
that
Priest
did
at
Bethel
.
He
taught
them
how
they
should
feare
the
Lord.

And
indeed
,
a
man
had
need
seeke
as
for
silver
,
and
search
as
for
hidden
treasure
,
to
understand
the
feare
of
the
Lord
,
as
Salomon
sayth
.
Pro.
2.4.5
.
I
shall
apply
my selfe
to
the
readers
,
as
David
doth
to
the
people
.
Come
,
little
children
,
Psal.
34.11
and
I
will
teach
you
the
feare
of
the
Lord
.
To
descend
to
particulars
.
First
,
wee
must
so
feare
God
,
as
to
worship
,
honour
,
and
reverence
him
,
in
thought
,
in
word
,
and
in
deed
;
especially
in
the
use
of
his
sacred
ordinances
:
Ye
that
feare
the
Lord
,
Psa.
22.23
.
prayse
him
,
all
yee
seed
of
Iacob
glorifie
him
,
and
feare
him
all
ye
seed
of
Israel
.
Wee
see
feare
and
praise
,
feare
and
glorifying
of
God
,
must
goe
hand
in
hand
together
.
And
againe
,
Give
unto
the
Lord
the
glory
due
unto
his
name
,
come
into
his
court
,
worship
the
Lord
in
the
beauty
of
his
holinesse
:
feare
before
him
all
the
earth
.
Psal.
96.8.9
.
Again
,
an
Angell
sayd
with
a
lowd
voyce
,
Rev.
14.7
.
Feare
God
,
and
give
glory
to
him
,
and
worship
him
.
He
that
feares
not
God
,
cannot
worship
him
;
Quod
non
m●tuitur
,
non
colitur
.
and
hee
that
worships
not
God
,
doth
not
feare
him
.
2.
Wee
may
,
and
ought
to
feare
God
for
his
comminations
;
and
for
his
punishments
.
I
am
afrayd
of
thy
iudgements
,
Psal.
119.120
.
sayth
David
.
If
the
Lion
roare
,
who
wil
not
feare
?
and
if
God
threaten
,
who
can
but
feare
?
Amos
3.8
.
When
God
threatned
an
universall
deluge
,
Heb.
11.7
.
Noah
was
moved
with
feare
.
And
when
God
threatned
such
a
hayle
should
fall
in
Egypt
,
that
shold
kill
every
man
&
beast
found
in
the
field
.
The
text
sayth
,
That
he
that
feared
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
Exod.
9.20
made
his
servants
and
cattell
to
flye
into
his
houses
.
Nature
will
tutor
us
to
feare
thus
.
But
wee
must
also
feare
,
when
the
judgments
of
God
are
executed
on
others
,
though
as
yet
they
presse
not
us
.
As
an
ingenuous
childe
trembles
when
he
seeth
his
father
strike
a
servant
,
though
he
be
not
angry
with
him
.
Because
thou
puttest
away
the
wicked
like
drosse

therefore
my
flesh
trembleth
for
feare
of
thee

And
when
Ananias

Saphyra
for

fell

the
text
sayth
in
one
place
,
that
great
feare
came
on
all
that
heard
those
things
.
And
in
another
place
,
Feare
came
on
all
the
Church
for
this
,
though
they
were
not
guilty
of
the
same
sinne
that
was
their
bane
.
Acts

When

is
on
fire
,
no
man
is
so
senselesse

as
not
to
feare
his
owne
house
.
3.
Wee
must
feare
God
,
not
onely
for
his
judgements
;
but
also
for
his
mercy
.
As
a
chaste
wife
feares
a
loving
husband
,
from
whom
she
expects
not
a
harsh
word
,
much
lesse
a
blow
.
God
doth
not
afflict
,
therefore
doe
men
feare
him
,
Iob

saith
Iob.
We
ought
to
feare
God
,
both
because
hee
afflicts
,
and
because
hee
doth
not
afflict
:
wee
must
feare
him
for
his
justice
and
severity
,
and
for
his
goodnesse
,
They
shall
feare
the
Lord
and
his
goodnesse
in
the

sayth
the
Prophet
.
Therefore
God
calles
his
people
a
revolting
,
a
rebellious
people
,
because
they
sayd
not
in
their
heart
,
Let
us
now
feare
the
Lord
,
who
giveth
the
former
and
the
latter
raine
,
Ier.
5.24
.
and
reserveth
us
the
appoynted
weekes
of
the
harvest
.
Which
plainly
shewes
,
that
we
must
feare
God
for
giving
seasonable
,
as
sending
unseasonable
weather
.
As
we
must
love
a
just
as
well
as
a
mercifull
God
:
so
wee
must
feare
a
merciful
as
well
as
a
just
God
.
That
is
(
in
the
fourth
place
)
we
must
feare
to
offend
and
dishonour
that
God
,
who
is
so
abundantly
mercifull
unto
us
.
The
feare
of
God
,
and
the
discarding
of
sinne
must
goe
together
,

Stand

It

feare

and
yet
not
feare
minutely
to
perpetrate

stands
not
in
receiving
wages
,
in
eating
and
drinking
,
in
making
legges
,
and
in
wearing
liveries
,
but
in
obedience
.
Neither
doth
the
service
of
God
consist
in
out-side
complement

or
in
wearing
the
badge
of
Christianity
,
but
in
the
workes
of
obedience
to
our
heavenly
Lord
and

Wee
must
so
feare
God
,
as
neither
to
make
God
to
serve
us
by
our
sinnes
,
(
as
God
complaines
)
not
yet
to
serve
our selves
upon
God
,

but
both
in
doing
and
in
suffering
,
to
resigne
up
our selves
to
Gods
wil

pleasure

We
must
so
feare
God
,
as
to
cleave
to
him
,
and
not
to
runne
from
him
;
as
to
love
him
,
and
not
to
hate
him
;
as
to
trust
in
him
,
and
not
to
distrust
him
.
Wee
must
serve
God
with
feare
,
and
we
must
s●rve
God
without
feare
:
that
is
,
without
distracting
and
diffident
feare

Wee
must
feare
God
above
all

creatures

,
though

were
united
together

seare

who
is
able

both

Feare
not
him
that
can
kill
the
body
;
that
is
,
feare
not
him
so
much
as
God
.
Shal
wee
feare
the
creature
,
and
not
God
for
whose
sake
only
wee
feare
the
creature
,
for
what
strength
hath
any
creature
,
where
with
God
invests
it
not
?
What
can
any
creature
doe
for
thee
,
or
against
thee
;
that
God
cannot
doe
?
What
can
any
man
doe
against
,
or
for
thee
that
God
doth
not
permit
,
and
that
he
cannot
interupt
,
or
revoke
?
The
strength
of
all
creatures
combined
together
is
but
infirmity
,
weaknes
to
Gods
power
human
policy
is
folly
to
Gods
wisdome
.
Wee
feare
a

more
then

a
mountaine
then
a
molchill
,
a
flame
then
a
sparke
,
a
sea
,
then
a
drop
,
why
then
feare
wee
not
God
more
then
al
things
.
Lastly
,
We
must
feare
God
alwayes
,
constantly
,
without
intermission
,
or

.
In
youth

in
age
,
in
adversity
,
in

the
manner
how
wee
ought
to
manage
our

The
hourely
consideration
of
Gods
al-secing
ey
will
keepe
the
feare
of
God
lively
and
fresh
in
the
heart
.
That
man
cannot
but
bee
fearefull
,
and
carefull
that
thinkes
with
himselfe
,
that
hee
lives
alwayes
in
the
eyes
of
such
a
Iudge
,
that
is
the
great
and
unswayed
spectator
of
all
things
.
3.
Reade
and
heare
the
word
of
God
frequently
and
diligently
;
there
(
O
Christian
)
thou
wilt
finde
what
God
is
,
and
what
the
fear
of
God
is
;
and
what
unanswerable
reasons
thou
hast
to
feare
him
.
Deut
4.10
Gather
the
people
(
sayth
God
)
I
will
make
them
heare
my

that
they
may
learne
to

Deut

their

may
heare
and

feare

.
The
soule
is
in
the
care
,
what
knowest
thou
but
that
upon
thy
constant
attendance
on
this
sacred
ordinance
,
God
may
strike
the
speeding
blow
,
and
worke
his
feare
in
thee
.
Lastly
,
we
must
daily
,
and
zealously
pray
to
him
,
whom
we
ought
to
feare
,
to
implant
this
his
feare
in
us
.
David
will
put
words

Lord
unite
my
heart
to
feare
thy

.
Arowse
our
drowsie
,
leaden
,
and
secure
spirits
,
and
cause
the
spirit
of
thy
feare
to
rest
upon
us
,
that
at
all
times
,
in
all
places
,
above
all
things
,
we
may
feare
thee
.
Much
more
might
be
added
;
but
he
who
conscionably
uses
these
meanes
,
cannot
bee
a
stranger
to
the
feare
of
GOD.
You
will
say
,
these
means
are
but
ordinary
and
plaine
.
The
better
;
what
wise
Phisitian
will
goe
a

curious

will
doe
the
deed
?
That
were

to

say
,
plain

do
that
,
Ferrwn

quod

that

You
cannot
now
say
,
the
way
is
dark
,
for
you
have
had
sufficient
direction
;
nor
that
the
well
is
deepe
,
and
you
have
no
bucket
to
draw
with
,
for
wholesome
meanes
have
been
prescribed
.
If
we
now
feare
not
God
,
it
is
because
we
will
not
.
The
next
worke
then
must
bee
to
bow
our
perverse
wils
;
and
to
provoke

our
cold

to
this

Let

his

upon

The

of

It

But

Let
us
turne
our
eyes
upon
God
,
the
object
of
this
feare
,
we
will
find
that
he
deserveth
,
&
may
challenge
our
feare
;
and
when
we
speake
of

we
will
with

this

therefore
in

stand
in

of
him
.
If
a
man
were
sure
that
his
princes
eye
were
alwayes
upon
him
,
how
fearefull
,
how
wary
wold
hee
bee
in
all
his

?
Feare
him
(
saith
Aug.
)
whose
constant
care
it
is
to
looke
upon
thee
,
and
walke
chastly
;
or
if
thou
wilt
needs
offend
seek
some
retired
place
wherein
God
cannot
see
thee
&
then
doe
thy
pleasure
.
What
height
of
Atheisme
is
it
to
feare
the
eye
of
a
child
,
and
not
to
feare
God

art
to
bee

who

who
thou

therfore

3.
God
is
as

Hee

If

duty

sake

nor
for

yet
let

feare

For

The

annexed

What

the
feare

owner
of

:
worldst
thou
have
rest
,
and
ease
and
estate
for
thy selfe
,
and
thine
?
this
feare
bring
it
,
what
man
is
he
saith
David
that
feareth

Lord
,
Psal.
25.12
13.
his
soule
shall
dwell
at
ease
,
his
seed
shal
inherit
the
earth
.
Wouldest
thou
not
bee
brought
to
poverty
,
&
penury
?
then
fear
God
.
There
is
no
want
to
them
that
feare
the
Lord
,
Psal.
34.9
.
saith
David
.
Woldst
thou
live
long
?
why
the
feare
of
the
Lord
prolongeth
dayes
,
Pro.
10.27
saith
Salomon
:
woldst
thou
have
plentiful
issue
?
it
is
promised
to
the
fearers
of

Woldst
thou
be
content
with

?
Psal.
128.
Hee
that

saith

.
In

,
God

too
deere
for
such

By

Lord

saith
Salomon
.
Either
thou
shalt
enioy
all
these
things
,
or
that
which
is
equivalent
to
them
,
or
better
then
them
;
or
thou
shalt
be
content
with
thy

Better
is
a

of

then
a
great
treasure
.
But
(

)
all
this
is
but
drosse
to
the
spirituall
fruites
of
the
feare
of
God
.
For

him

the
way
that
hee
shal
choose
,
saith
David
.
The
secret
of
the
Lord
is
with
them
that

,
and
hee
will
shew

his

Hee
that

,
shall
bee
acquainted
with
the
pith
,
and
marrow
of
Gods
wil
,
when
others
shall
scarce
pierce
the
bark
of

:
this
is
true
wisedome
to
be

to

mans

so

every
fearer

.

The
feare
of
God
is

porter
of

soule
,

casts

,

and
keepeth

So

It
is
the
keeper
of

So

It

anchor
of
the
soule
that
makes
a
man
stable
amidst
all
temptations
,
Anchora

.
Greg.
so
Gregory
.
The
feare
of
the
Lord
is
said
by
David
to
bee
clean

because
it
keepes

as
he
that

and

,
walkes

,
and
cleanely
.
That
way
is
the
safer
the
more
suspicious
we
are
in
it
.
By
the
feare
of
God
men
depart
from
evill
,
saith
Salomon
Pro.
16.6
.
This
was
Ioseph
his

,

how
shall
Icommit
this
great

and

against

The
true
feare
of
God
expells
all
false
feares
;
as
Moses
his
rod
did
eate
up
all
the
Egiptian
rods
.
It
expels
slavish
feare
because
it
is
ioynd
with
ioy
.
Rejoyce
with
trembling
saith
David
.
Psal.
2.11
.
This
feare
breeds
eternal
security
.
It
expells
the
excessiue
feare
of
men
.
Isay
8.12.13
.
Feare
not
their
feare
,
but
let
God
be
your
fear
,
saith
the
Prophet
:
for
indeed
this
feare
is
a
counter-poyson
to
that
,
Psal.
13.4
.
Though
I
walke
in
the
valley
of
the
shadow
of
death
,
I
will
feare
no
ill
,
saith
David
.
4.
The
feare
of
God
is
the
mother
of
obedience
.
And
therefore
when
David
desird
to
walke
in
the
true
way
,
hee
desired
that
he
might
feare
God
,
Psal.
86.11
Eccles.
12.13
.
for
no
obedience
without
feare
:
Deut.
5.29
2
Chron.
19.5.6.7
Lev.
19.32
Every
where
in
scripture
,
feare
and
obedience
are
linked
together
.
If
wee
feare
God
,
wee
will
conscionably
discharge
all
duties
requireable
in
all
our
conditions
,
and
relations
.
Then
Iudges
wold
accept
no
persons
and
take
no
bribes
,
then
young
men
wold
honour
their
elders
.
Then
the
wife
wold
love
,
and
obey
the
husband
;
children
their
parents
,
and
servants
their
masters
.
Then
executors
would
performe
the
wil
of
the
dead
.
And
no
man
would
offer
to
betray
a
trust
.
Then
every
state
would
bee
in
ioynt
,
and
wee
should
live
godlily
&
righteously
,
&
peaceably
,
one
by
another
.
In
a
word
,
the
feare
of
God
is
the
nurse
of
perseverance
unto
the
end
.
He
that
is
secure
and
presumptuous
oft
fals
off
,
when
hee
that
feares
God
,
&
suspects
himselfe
,
holds
his
ground
.
Feare

,
and

I
speake
not
of

but
of
faithful
feare
.
It
is
Gods
promise
,
Ier.

The

of

How
ever

,
I
know
it
shal
goe

them

God

Eccl.

the

And
Malachy
.

.
God
writes
a
booke
of
remembrance
for
them
that
feare
him
,
Mal.

.
and
hee
promises
that
hee
will
acknowledge
them
as
his
in
the
day
,
when
hee
shall
make
up
his
jewells
.
Harder
is
that
heart
,
then
the
hardest
adamant
,
with
which
all
these
arguments
cannot
prevayle
.
Thus
have
I
given
this
point
its
due
(
as
I
conceive
)
yet
wishing
that
an
abler
pen
might
ad
what
I
have
omitted

thereof

humour
of
a

reader
.
My
aime
is
not
to

the
humerous
,
but
to
profit
all
.
For
censure
,
and
detraction
it
will
bee
lost
upon
mee
,
for
I
regard
it
not
.
I
passe
not

hee
that
iudgeth
mee
is
the

.
Hee

never

If
I

I
am
