Reason 1. From the whole of man wrapped up in the fear God and keeping his Commandments; it is our whole perfection and safety; life maketh us equal to a Plant, sense to a Beast, reason to a man, grace (fearing God and keeping his Commandments) to Angels, Luke 20.36. Isai. 6.2. Psal. 103.20. It completeth our conformity to the Image of God: It is our whole duty, and attaineth an everlasting happy estate Deut. 5.29. else we walk in vanity, Psal. 39.5, 6. and fear death, hell, the faces of men.
