11. The Fear of God makes us accepted with God, Act. 10.35. In every nation he that Feareth God is accepted with him. What was St. Paul so ambitious of? 2 Cor. 5.9. We labour that we may be accepted with him*. Divine Fear ingratiates us into divine Favour. Such as are Fearless of God, neither their Persons or Offerings find acceptance, Amos 5.21, 22. I despise your Feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn Assemblies; though ye offer me burnt-offerings, I will not accept them. Who will take a Gift from one that hath the plague?
