be_v faithful_a that_o have_v promise_v say_v the_o apostle_n so_o that_o the_o hope_n of_o christian_n for_o heavenly_a bliss_n be_v as_o well_o ground_v as_o it_o can_v be_v in_o that_o it_o be_v bottom_v upon_o the_o most_o sure_a and_o infallible_a promise_n of_o god_n now_o a_o eternal_a heavenly_a life_n be_v the_o best_a thing_n we_o hope_v for_o we_o be_v most_o unwilling_a to_o be_v disappoint_v of_o it_o because_o such_o a_o disappointment_n of_o the_o great_a felicity_n will_v make_v we_o most_o miserable_a we_o therefore_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o secure_v to_o we_o and_o make_v as_o certain_a as_o possible_a and_o so_o it_o be_v we_o be_v as_o certain_a of_o it_o as_o the_o promise_v of_o god_n can_v make_v we_o and_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o fallibility_n or_o deceit_n in_o they_o as_o certain_o there_o be_v not_o then_o be_v we_o as_o sure_a as_o we_o can_v be_v of_o future_a happiness_n and_o our_o hope_n ground_v upon_o those_o promise_n be_v most_o rational_a certain_a and_o full_a of_o comfort_n take_v away_o this_o hope_n from_o man_n and_z and_z what_o be_v they_o then_o but_o wretched_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v all_o the_o felicity_n this_o world_n afford_v for_o it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o wealth_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o can_v bear_v up_o man_n spirit_n and_o make_v they_o comfortable_a under_o a_o despair_n of_o heaven_n the_o thought_n of_o not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n will_v take_v away_o all_o the_o delight_n and_o comfort_n of_o earthly_a possession_n whatever_o we_o have_v here_o it_o be_v as_o nothing_o to_o we_o if_o we_o have_v not_o hope_n of_o enjoy_v something_o better_a hereafter_o yea_o when_o this_o hope_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o quite_o destroy_v but_o only_o lessen_v or_o weaken_a by_o some_o doubt_n and_o fear_n what_o a_o trouble_n be_v this_o to_o we_o and_o how_o witless_a be_v our_o mind_n whilst_o those_o doubt_n and_o fear_n remain_v my_o next_o work_n therefore_o be_v to_o show_v you_o how_o to_o have_v the_o joy_n and_o comfort_n of_o a_o sure_a and_o well_o ground_a hope_n ii_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o hope_n of_o everlasting_a life_n now_o that_o which_o give_v we_o a_o right_a to_o those_o promise_n and_o a_o interest_n in_o they_o do_v also_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o this_o hope_n how_o then_o do_v we_o come_v to_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o privilege_n of_o felicity_n but_o by_o perform_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v those_o condition_n be_v propose_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n viz._n faith_n repentance_n and_o christian_a obedience_n in_o general_a a_o pious_a and_o religious_a life_n answerable_a to_o the_o gospel_n rule_v upon_o condition_n of_o such_o a_o christian_a behaviour_n god_n have_v promise_v we_o eternal_a life_n and_o if_o we_o be_v qualify_v with_o such_o a_o behaviour_n we_o may_v hope_v and_o be_v confident_a that_o god_n will_v perform_v his_o promise_n of_o blessedness_n to_o we_o but_o because_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o deceive_v themselves_o with_o false_a hope_n of_o heart_n it_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v when_o this_o hope_n be_v true_a and_o when_o it_o be_v false_a for_o our_o direction_n and_o information_n in_o this_o particular_a st._n john_n have_v give_v we_o a_o certain_a rule_n whereby_o to_o know_v this_o every_o man_n that_o have_v this_o hope_n purify_v himself_o 1_o ep._n 3._o v._o 3._o i._n e._n he_o live_v a_o pure_a and_o virtuous_a life_n abhor_v the_o filthiness_n of_o vice_n and_o impiety_n for_o he_o consider_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o felicity_n be_v conditional_a and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o perform_v they_o unless_o they_o do_v their_o duty_n and_o so_o they_o endeavour_v to_o discharge_v that_o by_o live_v as_o pure_o and_o pious_o as_o they_o can_v that_o nothing_o may_v be_v want_v on_o their_o part_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o obtain_v the_o promise_a happiness_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v thus_o a_o true_a hope_n be_v discernible_a from_o any_o other_o by_o a_o holy_a christian_a conversation_n which_o always_o attend_v it_o so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n reflect_v upon_o his_o life_n and_o find_v that_o he_o sincere_o endeavour_v to_o please_v god_n by_o holy_a obedience_n by_o a_o strict_a innocent_a pure_a conversation_n and_o upon_o that_o hope_n to_o be_v save_v and_o enjoy_v the_o promise_a reward_n of_o god_n heavenly_a kingdom_n his_o hope_n be_v then_o sure_a and_o well_o ground_v he_o hope_v for_o nothing_o but_o what_o the_o gospel_n encourage_v and_o god_n command_v he_o to_o hope_v for_o but_o that_o other_o do_v hope_n for_o heaven_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o who_o have_v not_o sufficient_a ground_n and_o warrant_v for_o such_o a_o expectation_n be_v certain_a and_o common_o to_o be_v observe_v man_n that_o do_v not_o purify_v themselves_o nor_o take_v any_o care_n to_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o adorn_v they_o with_o christian_a virtue_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n indulge_v themselves_o in_o all_o vicious_a impurity_n and_o unchristian_a practice_n even_o these_o do_v hope_v nevertheless_o to_o be_v save_v and_o bold_o lie_v claim_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o though_o these_o do_v so_o their_o claim_n be_v not_o just_a nor_o their_o hope_n rational_a yea_o it_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o hope_v as_o presumption_n a_o expectation_n of_o some_o good_a which_o a_o man_n have_v no_o good_a ground_n nor_o reason_n to_o expect_v such_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o all_o ungodly_a man_n that_o take_v pleasure_n in_o sin_n and_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o we_o be_v express_o tell_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o their_o hope_n shall_v perish_v what_o good_a then_o can_v it_o do_v they_o to_o hope_v for_o that_o which_o they_o be_v never_o like_a to_o obtain_v and_o that_o which_o it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n for_o they_o to_o expect_v they_o do_v but_o deceive_v themselves_o by_o such_o false_a and_o groundless_a hope_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a pernicious_a way_n of_o deceive_a themselves_o too_o for_o when_o they_o presume_v they_o shall_v be_v happy_a and_o go_v to_o heaven_n though_o they_o live_v impious_o they_o go_v on_o in_o that_o presumption_n and_o never_o take_v care_n to_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o so_o at_o last_o come_v to_o a_o fearful_a end_n and_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o such_o person_n as_o be_v thus_o bold_a and_o forward_o to_o declare_v their_o hope_n of_o heaven_n shall_v consider_v the_o danger_n of_o such_o a_o destructive_a confidence_n and_o not_o run_v themselves_o into_o ruin_n by_o a_o false_a and_o flatter_a hope_n of_o be_v save_v methinks_v it_o shall_v be_v easy_a to_o reason_v such_o man_n out_o of_o their_o vain_a confidence_n yea_o they_o may_v easy_o reason_v themselves_o out_o of_o it_o for_o thus_o a_o man_n may_v say_v to_o himself_o i_o be_o tell_v in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o blessing_n as_o eternal_a life_n i_o find_v every_o where_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v this_o blessing_n only_o to_o they_o that_o live_v pious_o if_o then_o i_o be_o none_o of_o those_o pious_a one_o to_o who_o those_o promise_n be_v particular_o make_v how_o can_v i_o expect_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o that_o felicity_n if_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o to_o none_o but_o to_o such_o as_o love_n and_o obey_v he_o he_o have_v not_o not_o promise_v it_o to_o i_o who_o be_o none_o of_o that_o number_n and_o if_o i_o be_o none_o of_o that_o number_n include_v in_o the_o promise_n i_o be_o very_o unreasonable_a to_o think_v or_o hope_v i_o shall_v be_v happy_a with_o they_o i_o be_o presumptus_fw-la to_o expect_v the_o blessing_n without_o perform_v the_o duty_n require_v in_o order_n thereunto_o i_o promise_v myself_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v happy_a but_o my_o promise_n be_v nothing_o without_o god_n promise_n this_o i_o have_v not_o therefore_o the_o other_o can_v do_v i_o no_o good_a i_o do_v hope_n but_o i_o have_v no_o ground_n for_o my_o hope_n and_o so_o it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o vain_a expectation_n and_o i_o shall_v sure_o deceive_v myself_o by_o it_o and_o instead_o of_o a_o blessing_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o end_n meet_v with_o a_o miserable_a disappointment_n yea_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o reasonable_a for_o i_o to_o think_v so_o because_o i_o hope_v not_o only_o without_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o encourage_v i_o but_o also_o against_o the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n in_o his_o many_o threaten_n and_o denuntiation_n of_o misery_n to_o such_o wretched_a and_o unreformed_a sinner_n as_o i_o be_o either_o god_n say_v true_a in_o those_o threaten_n or_o he_o do_v not_o if_o he_o do_v as_o be_v
