Natural Fear is the trouble or perturbation of mind from the apprehension of approaching evil, or impending danger.
The Greek word [Greek or Hebrew] comes from a Verb that signifies Flight;1 this is not always sinful, but it is always the fruit and consequent of sin. Since sin entered into our nature there is no shaking off Fear, no sooner had Adam transgressed, but he feared and fled, hiding himself among the Trees of the Garden, Gen. 3. 8. when he had transgressed the Covenant, he presently feared the execution of the Curse. First he eats, then he hides. And this afflictive passion is from him transmitted and derived to all his children.
