That fear and trembling Phil. 2. 13. is not fear of hell, but humility, standing in opposition to presumption of a mans own strength; as appears by the reason, wherewith the Apostle enforceth that exhortation of his, To work out our salvation with fear and trembling: for saith he, God it is that worketh in you both the will and the deed, according to his good pleasure. And if the working out of our salvation goes not on handsomely, except the fear of missing it, be an ingredient to the work, as this Author discourseth; then it seems his fear of missing makes him go on more handsomely, in working out his salvation, then either Paul the Apostle, or our Saviour did: for I no where find that our Saviour feared the missing of it; no nor Paul neither, after his conversion; though he knew full well, that conscionable carriage in his vocation, was a necessary means, without which he could not obtain it; and therefore professeth, that he did beat down his body, and bring it in subjection, least Preaching unto others himself should become a cast away.
