But that man that believeth the truth of Gods threatenings, cannot but expect the evils threatened in them; and so fear consequently before Gods face, proportionably in some sort to the evil expected. Which if *the anger or enmity of a mortal man of any might work in those that know or apprehend him to be such: how much more must the wrath of God revealed needs work the same in a far greater measure in those that believe his power to be such as it is?
Nor indeed can it be otherwise: For what is hFeare, but an expectation of some euill impendent. As hope an expectation of good, so feare of euill.
