Thirdly, There is a mixed fear, not a pure filial, nor a pure slavish fear, but with a mixture or ingrediency of both. Such I conceive the fear of Job was; his was a mixed fear; it had some tang of slavery in it, and it had some touch of Son-ship in it; there was much of the spirit of Bondage in it; and something of the Spirit of Adoption in it. With the former fear many good men have been much exercised in all ages, especially before Christ came in the flesh, and the clearer breaking and beaming out of Gospel light, (Rom. 8.15.) Ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear again. And (Job. 14.27.) Let not your hearts be troubled, ⟨p. 454⟩nor be ye afraid; that is, be not burdened and oppressed with that servile and slavish fear which you are subject to Christ spake it to his own Disciples, for even at that time deep impressions of that fear were upon them, doubting much what would become of them, when he should (of which he had told them) leave the world, and be gone from them. And besides that special reason which the Disciples then had to fear at that time. This fear usually ariseth from two reasons, in others, at all times.
