every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n this_o come_v within_o the_o arminian_n bound_n but_o this_o opinion_n be_v take_v up_o by_o other_o too_o as_o well_o as_o they_o that_o hold_v universal_a redemption_n but_o because_o i_o have_v already_o preach_v two_o or_o three_o sermon_n upon_o this_o subject_n i_o shall_v therefore_o only_o now_o speak_v so_o much_o as_o be_v needful_a to_o show_v you_o the_o rottenness_n and_o insufficiency_n of_o this_o prop_n 1._o suppose_v christ_n do_v die_v for_o all_o yet_o those_o man_n that_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n that_o christ_n do_v die_v for_o all_o they_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o all_o man_n be_v save_v by_o christ_n but_o some_o man_n may_v fall_v off_o from_o christ_n and_o be_v damn_v notwithstanding_o christ_n die_v for_o they_o 2._o take_v this_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n that_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v benefit_n by_o christ_n blood_n that_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o this_o death_n 3._o to_o you_o that_o make_v this_o a_o plea_n for_o your_o hope_n of_o heaven_n observe_v this_o that_o where_o there_o be_v these_o general_a expression_n they_o be_v very_o ill_o understand_v if_o you_o say_v they_o speak_v of_o universal_a &_o general_a redemption_n as_o in_o 2_o cor._n 5._o 14_o 15._o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v 15._o that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o that_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o that_o die_v for_o they_o and_o rise_v again_o why_o here_o none_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o christ_n death_n but_o those_o that_o live_v to_o christ_n that_o die_v for_o they_o and_o so_o in_o heb._n 2._o 9_o but_o we_o see_v jesus_n that_o be_v make_v a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n for_o the_o suffering_n of_o death_n clothe_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n that_o he_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n but_o mark_v the_o restraint_n in_o the_o next_o word_n for_o it_o become_v he_o for_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o bring_v many_o son_n unto_o glory_n here_o the_o apostle_n restrain_v the_o word_n to_o make_v the_o captain_n of_o their_o salvation_n perfect_a through_o suffering_n for_o both_o he_o that_o sanctify_v and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o for_o which_o cause_n he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o call_v they_o brethren_n the_o apostle_n do_v here_o again_o restrain_v the_o word_n and_o therefore_o this_o can_v be_v no_o more_o prop_n for_o your_o hope_n that_o be_v not_o sanctify_v but_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o first_o branch_n in_o show_v you_o how_o wicked_a man_n do_v make_v those_o place_n to_o be_v scripture_n prop_n for_o their_o hope_n which_o be_v not_o 2._o if_o they_o do_v not_o make_v those_o place_n to_o be_v scripture_n prop_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o they_o do_v misapply_v those_o place_n which_o indeed_o be_v scripture_n promise_n and_o ground_n of_o hope_n as_o that_o christ_n come_v into_o 11._o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n now_o this_o be_v a_o scripture_n promise_n for_o christ_n come_v to_o seek_v and_o save_v they_o that_o be_v lose_v but_o now_o 10._o belove_v man_n do_v misapply_v this_o general_a pillar_n of_o hope_n they_o take_v they_o in_o the_o general_a notion_n of_o they_o and_o this_o make_v abundance_n of_o people_n to_o harbour_v great_a hope_n of_o heaven_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o now_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o wherein_o they_o do_v misapply_v they_o 1._o in_o not_o consider_v that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v first_o in_o christ_n before_o he_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o any_o promise_n of_o christ_n they_o run_v to_o the_o promise_n and_o never_o examine_v first_o whether_o or_o no_o they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n the_o promise_n be_v good_a and_o comfortable_a but_o it_o can_v convey_v any_o comfort_n to_o thy_o soul_n unless_o thou_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n no_o more_o than_o a_o dry_a pipe_n can_v convey_v water_n to_o thou_o without_o the_o fountain_n we_o be_v first_o make_v christ_n and_o then_o we_o have_v a_o right_n to_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v by_o our_o interest_n in_o christ_n that_o we_o have_v a_o right_n and_o title_n to_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n if_o you_o have_v a_o

they_o object_n and_o say_v that_o the_o promise_n do_v run_v in_o free_a and_o general_a term_n have_v no_o condition_n annex_v to_o they_o answ_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v some_o promise_n that_o be_v absolute_a so_o as_o to_o have_v no_o condition_n go_v before_o they_o but_o every_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n have_v some_o condition_n or_o other_o annex_v to_o it_o if_o it_o have_v

have_v a_o real_a and_o well_o ground_a hope_n and_o those_o that_o have_v only_o a_o false_a and_o delude_a hope_n 6._o another_o false_a prop_n that_o wicked_a man_n build_v hope_n for_o heaven_n on_o be_v this_o because_o they_o live_v honest_o and_o just_o among_o their_o neighbour_n they_o give_v every_o man_n his_o due_a and_o do_v no_o body_n any_o wrong_n and_o the_o like_a and_o therefore_o they_o conclude_v themselves_o in_o a_o very_a good_a condition_n ans_fw-fr be_v this_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n for_o 1._o hope_n for_o heaven_n there_o will_v more_v of_o the_o heathen_n go_v to_o heaven_n then_o of_o you_o for_o they_o walk_v very_o exact_o and_o be_v just_a and_o upright_o in_o all_o their_o deal_n but_o wicked_a and_o bad_a man_n may_v have_v very_o good_a meaning_n in_o they_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o balaam_n numb_a 23._o 10._o he_o desire_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o that_o his_o last_o end_n may_v be_v like_o he_o this_o be_v a_o good_a desire_n and_o meaning_n in_o he_o 2._o take_v this_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o though_o a_o bad_a meaning_n will_v defile_v and_o pollute_v a_o good_a action_n yet_o a_o good_a meaning_n can_v advantage_v nor_o do_v a_o bad_a action_n any_o good_a as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o perform_v very_o good_a action_n in_o themselves_o but_o they_o have_v self-end_n and_o bad_a meaning_n that_o spoil_v all_o their_o duty_n good_a meaning_n can_v justify_v bad_a action_n if_o thy_o action_n be_v wicked_a good_a meaning_n can_v do_v thou_o no_o good_a rom._n 8._o those_o that_o say_v let_v we_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o their_o damnation_n be_v just_a 3._o let_v your_o meaning_n be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o if_o you_o have_v a_o ignorant_a mind_n it_o be_v worth_a nothing_o as_o in_o prov._n 19_o 2._o the_o mind_n without_o knowledge_n can_v be_v good_a as_o no_o man_n ever_o become_v rich_a

he_o have_v most_o need_n of_o they_o have_v his_o hope_n be_v well_o ground_v hope_n they_o will_v never_o make_v he_o ashamed_a of_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v i_o have_v only_o in_o the_o general_n confirm_v the_o point_n to_o you_o i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o some_o more_o particular_a inquiry_n in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o doctrine_n belove_v will_v you_o lend_v i_o your_o thought_n a_o little_a in_o the_o handle_n of_o these_o five_o inquiry_n as_o 1._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o hope_n that_o unconvert_v man_n be_v without_o 2._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o be_v the_o character_n of_o those_o man_n that_o be_v without_o any_o well_o ground_a hope_n for_o heaven_n 3._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o see_v the_o scripture_n say_v that_o a_o wicked_a man_n have_v no_o hope_n that_o of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n a_o wicked_a man_n do_v nourish_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o great_a hope_n for_o heaven_n 4._o i_o shall_v show_v wherein_o lie_v the_o difference_n between_o those_o that_o have_v only_o a_o presumptuous_a hope_n for_o heaven_n and_o those_o that_o have_v a_o true_a and_o well_o ground_a hope_n for_o heaven_n and_o last_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o great_a misery_n of_o those_o man_n that_o have_v only_o presumptuous_a hope_n for_o heaven_n quest_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o to_o show_v you_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o hope_n that_o unconvert_v man_n be_v without_o answ_n take_v this_o plain_a description_n of_o it_o that_o true_a hope_n which_o wicked_a man_n be_v without_o it_o be_v a_o well_o ground_v and_o patient_a expectation_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o those_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o which_o faith_n believe_v i_o call_v it_o a_o well_o ground_a expectation_n to_o distinguish_v true_a hope_n from_o those_o presumptuous_a hope_n that_o wicked_a man_n have_v i_o call_v it_o a_o patient_a hope_n to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o a_o rash_a hope_n in_o wicked_a man_n and_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o patient_a expectation_n and_o look_v for_o the_o accomplish_n those_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v in_o christ_n because_o that_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o hope_n it_o be_v call_v the_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o the_o like_a thus_o you_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o hope_n that_o wicked_a man_n be_v without_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v without_o hope_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o be_v without_o any_o hope_n of_o those_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o believer_n through_o christ_n quest_n 2_o quest_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o character_n of_o those_o man_n that_o have_v no_o hope_n for_o heaven_n or_o if_o they_o have_v it_o be_v only_o a_o delude_n and_o a_o presumptuous_a hope_n a_o hope_n no_o better_o than_o no_o hope_n at_o all_o nay_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_a to_o have_v no_o hope_n then_o a_o presumptuous_a hope_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o afterward_o now_o before_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o character_n by_o way_n of_o discovery_n i_o will_v only_o premise_v four_o or_o five_o particular_a conclusion_n which_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o prevent_v wicked_a man_n from_o run_v into_o mistake_n concern_v their_o hope_n for_o heaven_n 1._o take_v this_o conclusion_n that_o this_o grace_n of_o hope_n may_v as_o well_o be_v counterfeit_v as_o any_o other_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o lively_a hope_n in_o a_o believer_n and_o a_o dead_a hope_n in_o a_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v a_o feign_a hope_n as_o well_o as_o a_o true_a hope_n a_o counterfeit_a hope_n as_o well_o as_o a_o good_a hope_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o joh._n 8._o 13._o the_o 20._o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n shall_v perish_v and_o in_o prov._n 10._o 28._o the_o hope_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v perish_v 2._o take_v this_o conclusion_n that_o those_o man_n that_o have_v least_o ground_n to_o build_v hope_n of_o heaven_n upon_o do_v yet_o nourish_v most_o confident_a hope_n of_o heaven_n in_o their_o heart_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o notable_a place_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o in_o prov._n 14._o 16._o it_o be_v 16._o say_v there_o that_o a_o wise_a man_n fear_v and_o depart_v from_o evil_a a_o wise_a man_n be_v jealous_a over_o his_o own_o heart_n what_o follow_v but_o say_v he_o a_o fool_n that_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n he_o rage_v and_o yet_o be_v confident_a he_o run_v on_o in_o wicked_a way_n and_o practice_n without_o any_o remorse_n or_o sorrow_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o confident_a man_n that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a a_o wise_a man_n fear_v and_o depart_v from_o evil_a but_o a_o wicked_a man_n rage_v and_o yet_o be_v confident_a those_o that_o have_v least_o cause_n to_o hope_n do_v yet_o harbour_v the_o great_a hope_n for_o heaven_n in_o their_o heart_n a_o like_a place_n to_o this_o you_o have_v in_o psal_n 36._o ●2_n the_o transgression_n ●2_n of_o the_o wicked_a say_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o his_o eye_n and_o yet_o the_o next_o word_n be_v he_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o eye_n though_o his_o iniquity_n be_v find_v worthy_a to_o be_v hate_v wicked_a man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o have_v good_a conceit_n of_o themselves_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o ordinary_o that_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o walk_v conscionable_o before_o god_n and_o neglect_v no_o know_a duty_n and_o mortify_v every_o know_a lust_n and_o walk_v humble_o before_o god_n this_o man_n be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n and_o doubt_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o well_o between_o god_n and_o his_o soul_n and_o yet_o you_o shall_v find_v another_o ungodly_a wretch_n that_o give_v way_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o his_o mind_n and_o this_o man_n be_v very_o confident_a of_o his_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o all_o be_v well_o with_o he_o when_o he_o be_v run_v headlong_o to_o hell_n here_o than_o you_o see_v the_o second_o conclusion_n that_o those_o man_n that_o have_v least_o ground_n to_o build_v hope_n of_o heaven_n upon_o do_v yet_o nourish_v strong_a hope_n for_o heaven_n in_o their_o heart_n 3._o another_o conclusion_n be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v live_v and_o die_v with_o very_o strong_a hope_n that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n till_o he_o be_v throw_v down_o into_o hell_n he_o may_v have_v no_o other_o thought_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n till_o he_o be_v cast_v headlong_o into_o hell_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o some_o plain_a text_n to_o prove_v this_o as_o job_n 21._o 23._o 23._o job_n speak_v there_o of_o a_o

that_o he_o have_v very_o strong_a hope_n of_o it_o and_o if_o you_o ask_v he_o whether_o my_o sin_n trouble_v he_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o no_o bless_a be_v god_n i_o have_v no_o sin_n trouble_v i_o

think_v this_o conclusion_n shall_v a_o little_a startle_v you_o and_o make_v you_o look_v about_o you_o to_o take_v heed_n lest_o you_o run_v hoodwink_v to_o hell_n that_o you_o do_v not_o live_v

every_o man_n to_o hope_v for_o heaven_n and_o to_o be_v save_v and_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o hope_v for_o heaven_n unless_o you_o can_v give_v some_o ground_n
