As one fire, so on fear drives out another. Therefore, in the second Commandment, lest the fear of mens 〈◊〉〈◊〉 should keep us from worshipping of God, great pun∣nishment is threatned, to them that worship him not. If I for∣sake my profession, I am sure of a worse death then Judge Hales
had, said that Martyr. There is martiall law for those that forsake their captain, or else (under a colour of discretion) fall back into the rereward. They that draw back, do it to perdition, Heb. 10. 39. And is it nothing to lose an immortall soul? to purchase an ever∣living death? Should servants fear their masters, because they have power over the flesh, 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 3. 23. and should not we fear him that can destroy both body and soul in hell? Biron Marshall of France 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Earl of Essex his piety at his death, as more befitting a silly Minister then a stout warrier: as if the fear of hell were not* 1.1 a Christian mans fortitude; as if it were not valour but madnesse to fight with a flaming fire, that is out of our power to suppresse. This Biron, within few moneths after, underwent the same death that Essex did, and then if he feared not 〈◊〉〈◊〉, he was sure to feel it.
