We are further here to observe,1 that oftentimes in Scripture the love of God, and the fear of God, is taken for the whole worship of God, or for the general obedience, according to all Gods Commandments: As, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The end of the Commandment, is love out of a pure heart, &c. In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, &c. The reason hereof is, because the fear and love of God, seeing they spring of faith, and hope, are causes of our whole obedience. For they who truly love and fear God, will not offend him in any thing, but endeavour to do all things pleasing and acceptable unto him.
