12. The Fear of God lays a train for spiritual joy: some may think the Fear of God breeds sadness; no, it is the in-let to joy *The Fear of God is the morning Star, which ushers in the Sun light of comfort, Acts 9.31. Walking in the Fear of the Lord, and in the comforts of the Holy ghost. The Fear of God hath solid joy in it, though not wanton. Oecolampadius an holy man being on his sick-bed, was asked if the Light offended him? he putting his hand to his heart said, Hic sat lucis; Here I have light enough. God mixeth ⟨p. 40⟩joy with Holy Fear, that fear may not seem slavish.
