CHAP. I
Wherein the Text and Context are opened, the Doctrines propounded; and the general method stated.
There is not more diversity found in the outward features, than in the inward tempers and dispositions of men: some are as timorous as Hares and start at every sound, or yelp of a dog: others are bold as Lions, and can face dangers without trembling, Some fear more than they ought, and some before they ought, and others when they ought not at all. The carnal person fears man, not God; the strong Christian fears God, ⟨p. 2⟩not man; the weak Christian fears man too much, and God too little.
