for_o it_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v but_o sanctify_v the_o 15._o lord_n god_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o be_v ready_a always_o to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o every_o one_o that_o ask_v you_o a_o

it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a place_n as_o if_o the_o prophet_n shall_v say_v to_o they_o you_o walk_v in_o a_o great_a course_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o yet_o you_o flatter_v you_o self_n you_o will_v not_o say_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o you_o you_o that_o do_v nourish_v great_a sin_n and_o wickedness_n in_o your_o bosom_n and_o allow_v yourselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o great_a sin_n you_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o you_o to_o go_v to_o heaven_n for_o god_n do_v here_o charge_v it_o upon_o you_o that_o notwithstanding_o you_o walk_v on_o in_o way_n

only_o a_o delude_n and_o a_o vain_a hope_n 2._o that_o man_n have_v no_o true_a hope_n but_o only_o a_o presumptuous_a and_o vain_a hope_n for_o heaven_n that_o be_v strong_a in_o his_o expectation_n of_o heaven_n as_o his_o aim_n and_o end_n but_o slow_a in_o his_o action_n and_o endeavour_n after_o holiness_n as_o his_o way_n he_o that_o can_v with_o baalam_n desire_v to_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o never_o care_n nor_o desire_n to_o live_v the_o life_n of_o the_o righteous_a that_o man_n hope_n be_v but_o a_o vain_a hope_n as_o the_o psalmist_n have_v it_o in_o

but_o why_o be_v salvation_n far_o from_o the_o wicked_a because_o they_o seek_v not_o god_n statute_n those_o man_n that_o hope_v that_o salvation_n be_v near_o they_o when_o they_o be_v far_o from_o seek_v after_o god_n statute_n and_o endeavour_v after_o holiness_n as_o the_o way_n to_o happiness_n these_o man_n be_v far_o from_o salvation_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n too_o 3._o that_o

any_o service_n you_o do_v or_o any_o duty_n you_o perform_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o you_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o build_v a_o house_n upon_o the_o sand_n ask_v a_o wicked_a man_n whereon_o

a_o man_n may_v have_v evidence_n from_o his_o grace_n &_o from_o the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o his_o heart_n but_o the_o great_a pillar_n of_o marble_n that_o must_v bear_v up_o thy_o hope_n must_v be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n he_o that_o build_v his_o hope_n for_o heaven_n only_o upon_o his_o own_o performance_n and_o good_a duty_n his_o hope_n be_v a_o vain_a and_o delude_a hope_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v real_a evidence_n of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o 14._o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n and_o again_o by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o god_n because_o of_o his_o spirit_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o the_o main_a pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o our_o hope_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o fervent_a in_o prayer_n and_o diligent_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n as_o if_o we_o do_v expect_v to_o be_v save_v by_o our_o duty_n but_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v we_o must_v lay_v down_o all_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n and_o conclude_v that_o our_o best_a righteousness_n be_v but_o as_o filthy_a rag_n and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v do_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o we_o must_v whole_o and_o only_o depend_v upon_o the_o merit_n and_o mercy_n of_o christ_n for_o salvation_n and_o comfort_n 5._o that_o
who_o believer_n do_v build_v all_o their_o hope_n for_o heaven_n so_o likewise_o they_o build_v their_o hope_n on_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o psal_n 147._o 11._o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n 18._o in_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o in_o those_o that_o hope_v in_o his_o mercy_n and_o again_o in_o psal_n 33._o 18._o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o upon_o they_o that_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 52._o 8._o say_v david_n there_o i_o trust_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o a_o godly_a man_n he_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o himself_o and_o out_o of_o a_o opinion_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o his_o hope_n be_v only_o build_v upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o on_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n but_o now_o the_o false_a and_o presumptuous_a hope_n that_o wicked_a man_n have_v be_v not_o build_v so_o much_o upon_o god_n mercy_n as_o their_o own_o duty_n and_o not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o they_o as_o upon_o their_o own_o duty_n what_o they_o have_v do_v for_o themselves_o 3._o true_a hope_n do_v comfort_n and_o bear_v up_o the_o heart_n under_o all_o the_o discomfort_n that_o it_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n as_o david_n say_v i_o have_v faint_v under_o my_o affliction_n but_o 81._o that_o thy_o word_n be_v my_o hope_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o you_o have_v those_o two_o admirable_a expression_n put_v together_o rom._n 5._o 2_o 3._o rejoice_v in_o hope_n 3._o and_o glory_v in_o tribulation_n these_o be_v put_v

be_v like_o lead_n and_o ponderous_a weight_n that_o will_v make_v you_o sink_v under_o every_o affliction_n it_o be_v only_o a_o true_a and_o save_a hope_n that_o will_v enable_v you_o to_o hold_v up_o your_o head_n under_o all_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n 4._o true_a hope_n do_v as_o well_o act_v for_o heaven_n as_o hope_v for_o heaven_n but_o a_o presumptuous_a hope_n that_o hope_n for_o heaven_n as_o its_o end_n but_o yet_o never_o act_v holiness_n as_o its_o way_n to_o heaven_n true_a hope_n as_o it_o hope_v for_o heaven_n so_o it_o labour_v to_o work_v out_o its_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a you_o have_v a_o admirable_a passage_n for_o this_o in_o psal_n 119._o 166._o 166._o say_v david_n there_o lord_n i_o have_v trust_v in_o thy_o salvation_n and_o i_o have_v do_v thy_o commandment_n here_o be_v both_o hope_v and_o act_v for_o heaven_n put_v both_o together_o wicked_a man_n they_o hope_v for_o heaven_n but_o they_o do_v not_o do_v god_n command_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 37._o 3._o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n 3._o and_o do_v good_a say_v the_o psalmist_n here_o be_v trust_v and_o do_v put_v together_o true_a hope_n do_v act_n for_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o hope_v for_o heaven_n but_o false_a hope_n do_v hope_n much_o and_o act_v little_a wicked_a man_n will_v hope_v for_o salvation_n but_o not_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n hope_v for_o heaven_n but_o not_o labour_v for_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o four_o difference_n 5._o that_o man_n that_o have_v true_a hope_n he_o make_v conscience_n to_o keep_v his_o heart_n pure_a and_o free_a both_o from_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n while_o he_o live_v here_o in_o this_o world_n you_o have_v a_o plain_a text_n for_o this_o in_o 1_o joh._n 3._o 3_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purify_v 3_o himself_o even_o as_o god_n be_v pure_a he_o do_v labour_n and_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v his_o heart_n upright_o and_o pure_a and_o free_a from_o

such_o experience_n as_o these_o be_v inlet_n to_o a_o well_o ground_a hope_n for_o heaven_n but_o now_o the_o hope_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v only_o the_o result_v of_o ignorance_n they_o that_o never_o have_v any_o experience_n of_o themselves_o nor_o of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n they_o have_v most_o hope_n but_o their_o hope_n be_v only_o delude_v and_o presumptuous_a hope_n wicked_a man_n that_o do_v so_o quick_o get_v into_o a_o state_n of_o hope_n without_o any_o former_a experience_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o their_o hope_n be_v only_o vain_a and_o empty_a hope_n they_o be_v but_o pithy_a hope_n just_o like_o your_o pithy_a tree_n as_o elder_n and_o withies_n and_o such_o like_a tree_n they_o shoot_v up_o fast_o and_o grow_v up_o soon_o
