Let those threats, if you live after the flesh you shall die, 1and those that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God, 2and for these things sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience, and many the like be often in your minds, let them awe you and hold under the strength of your corruptions, causing you to deny ⟨p. 72⟩your selves all unlawful profits, pleasures and effects of sin, and to cross your own wills, and to set your selves to do the things that are most contrary to flesh and blood.3 The fear of the Lord is to depart from evil, this fear of the Lord is the beginning of true saving wisdom, to them that thus fear are all the promises of the Gospel made,4 yea it is in one word said, those that fear the Lord shall want nothing. Never think that your faith is right and good if it do not produce this fear, for faith must acknowledge God to be faithful in all his words, threats as well as promises, and this grace is that which being planted in the heart of man, doth keep him from falling away from faith, doth preserve the soul to salvation, by working in it this good and virtuous fear of damnation: as faith kept Noah from drowning by making him holily to fear drowning.
Let those threats, if you live after the flesh you shall die, 1and those that doe such things shall not inherit the kingdome of God, 2and for these things sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience, and many the like be often in your mindes, let them awe you and hold under the strength of your corruptions, causing you to denie ⟨p. 72⟩your selves all unlawfull profits, pleasures and effects of sinne, and to crosse your owne wills, and to set your selves to do the things that are most contrary to flesh and bloud.
