The filial fear is such a fear as dutiful children bear to their fathers. But the servile fear is such an one as bondslaves bear to their masters. A son feareth simply to offend or displease his father: so as it is accomplished with love. A bondslave feareth nothing but the punishment of his offence; so as it is joined with hatred: and such an one feareth not to sin, but to burn in hell for sin.
William Gouge — Of Domestical Duties (1622), Treatise I, on Ephesians 5:21 ("in the fear of God")
