It exhorts us to get the fear of God planted in our hearts.1 Prov. 28.19. Happy is he that feareth alway*. The fear of God would influence all our actions. It would make us Good in both Tables. It would make us Holy towards God, and Righteous towards men. We would be true in our Promises, just in our dealings. Mat. 7.12. That I may press you to this Holy Fear, let me show you the dignity and excellency of it.
