And so the latter part of the Verse may receive the same Exposition, Will he enter with thee into judgment, namely for thy fear? Will God deal with thee upon the account of thy piety? And when he comes to justify thee, will he impute that to thee? Or when God enters into judgement with thee, will he suffer thee to present thy fear, thy piety, or goodness to him, and so thereby answer his plea, or take away the action which he brings against thee? When God enters with us into judgement, we may boldly plead our interest or Faith in the Mediator, but we must not plead our fear, the Grace or Holiness either of our persons, or of our services.

Thus we see the Doctrine of the Text according to this Exposition, and the Active signification of the word Fear, carrieth in it the very life and spirit of the Gospel. All the worth ⟨p. 30⟩and merit of our works as to righteousness, is nulled and laid prostrate, and we taught to glory in nothing but the free gift and grace of God by our Lord Jesus Christ.
