18. Such as Fear God are the only persons that shall be saved. Psalm 85.9. Salvation is nigh them that Fear ⟨p. 45⟩him. Salvation is said to be far from the Wicked, Psalm 119.155. They and Salvation are so far asunder, that they are like never to meet. But Gods Salvation is nigh them that Fear him: What do we aspire after but Salvation? 'Tis the end of all our Prayers, Tears, Sufferings. Salvation is the Crown of our desires, the flower of our joy. And who shall be enriched with Salvation, but the Fearers of God? His Salvation is nigh them that Fear him. Let these cogent arguments persuade to the Fear of God.
