Pet. 1.8 The Ioy of the Holy Ghost This is that which Peter calleth Ioy vnspeakeable and full of glorie This doth swallow all other ioyes euen as the Sea doth swallow all other waters This may be illustrated by safetie after great danger or by great plentie after much penurie or want Gal. 5.6 1. Tim. 1.5 Mat. 12.37 The third is Loue out of a pure Heart This extendeth to God to our Neighbour This Loue is expressed by our pliablenesse to doe his will 1.

Cor. 5.2 An earnest groaning to bee clothed vpon with our house which is from Heauen to be vnburthened of this bodie of death Rom. 8.13 and that as God is become the Father of our spirits so he would become the Father of bodies and spirits That our vile bodies may bee changed Phil. 3.21 and fashioned like vnto the glorious bodie of our Lord Iesus Christ A seuenth is a holy waiting for the time of our dissolution which may be termed Hope Rom. 8.24.25 Iob. 14.14 and is so called by the Holy Ghost We are saued by hope and If wee hope for that we see not we doe with patience wait for it These are the Companions of true sauing Faith within the compasse of one of these all the rest may be couched Hereby thou maist trie thy selfe Hast thou beene troubled and terrified with the sight of thy sinnes Isay 57.19 Is 61.1.2.3 Mat. 5.4 1.
