expect_v in_o heaven_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o be_v expect_v on_o earth_n if_o where_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n nor_o sorrow_n but_o perfect_a holiness_n and_o happiness_n then_o sure_a the_o saint_n here_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v much_o in_o the_o thought_n and_o expectation_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o saint_n to_o look_v for_o these_o thing_n so_o let_v i_o give_v a_o few_o direction_n for_o the_o right_a performance_n of_o this_o duty_n 1._o expect_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o christ_n expect_v he_o expect_v till_o his_o enemy_n be_v make_v his_o footstool_n he_o expect_v the_o fall_n of_o babylon_n he_o expect_v to_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n and_o to_o be_v glorify_v in_o his_o saint_n and_o admire_v in_o they_o that_o believe_v and_o these_o thing_n shall_v the_o saint_n on_o earth_n look_v for_o even_o the_o bless_a hope_n and_o glorious_a appear_v of_o the_o great_a god_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o be_v sure_a our_o expectation_n shall_v not_o perish_v because_o they_o be_v christ_n also_o but_o the_o expectation_n of_o his_o enemy_n shall_v perish_v and_o their_o hope_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o spider_n web._n 2._o expect_v because_o christ_n expect_v he_o know_v what_o he_o expect_v and_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n for_o his_o hope_n and_o have_v power_n to_o make_v good_a his_o own_o expectation_n now_o when_o the_o saint_n want_v some_o stay_n and_o support_v for_o their_o hope_n and_o their_o heart_n like_o moses_n his_o hand_n be_v heavy_a they_o shall_v look_v to_o christ_n hope_n and_o this_o will_v be_v to_o their_o heart_n as_o aaron_n and_o hur_z be_v to_o moses_n his_o hand_n they_o stay_v they_o up_o and_o so_o they_o be_v steady_a till_o the_o go_n down_o of_o the_o sun_n and_o till_o amalech_n and_o his_o people_n be_v discomfit_v by_o joshua_n with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n 3_o expect_v as_o christ_n expect_v hope_n on_o earth_n shall_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o heavenly_a hope_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n no_o take_v think_v in_o heaven_n hope_v defer_v do_v not_o make_v any_o heart_n sick_a there_o but_o there_o be_v joy_n of_o hope_n as_o christ_n expect_v that_o his_o enemy_n be_v make_v his_o footstool_n so_o he_o laugh_v at_o their_o imagination_n and_o contrivance_n against_o he_o and_o have_v they_o all_o in_o derision_n such_o shall_v the_o saint_n hope_v be_v here_o and_o so_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o say_v of_o babylon_n the_o man_n of_o sin_n and_o all_o that_o give_v up_o their_o power_n to_o he_o as_o isaiah_n do_v of_o sennacherib_n when_o he_o besiege_v jerusalem_n isa_n 32.22_o the_o virgin_n the_o daughter_n of_o zion_n have_v despise_v thou_o and_o laugh_v thou_o to_o scorn_v the_o daughter_n of_o jerusalem_n have_v shake_v her_o head_n at_o thou_o the_o power_n and_o threat_n of_o the_o romish_a beast_n with_o all_o that_o take_v part_n with_o he_o shall_v not_o shake_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a witness_n but_o they_o shall_v shake_v their_o head_n at_o he_o and_o laugh_v he_o to_o scorn_v sure_o there_o be_v little_a cause_n to_o fear_v those_o who_o shall_v very_o short_o be_v christ_n footstool_n christ_n expect_v also_o with_o constancy_n and_o perseverance_n there_o be_v perseverance_n in_o the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n christ_n expect_v till_o his_o enemy_n be_v make_v his_o footstool_n christ_n hope_n be_v like_o himself_o the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o till_o all_o be_v accomplish_v which_o he_o hope_v for_o nothing_o on_o earth_n weaken_v the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n no_o change_n no_o scatter_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n no_o death_n of_o the_o witness_n make_v any_o the_o least_o alteration_n in_o the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n now_o such_o shall_v the_o saint_n hope_v be_v on_o earth_n even_o the_o same_o in_o all_o change_n they_o shall_v hope_v when_o the_o beast_n kill_v the_o witness_n and_o those_o that_o dwell_v on_o the_o earth_n rejoice_v over_o their_o dead_a body_n as_o well_o as_o when_o the_o witness_n have_v power_n to_o shut_v heaven_n and_o to_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o all_o plague_n as_o often_o as_o they_o will_v they_o shall_v hope_v not_o only_a when_o a_o deadly_a wound_n be_v give_v to_o the_o beast_n but_o when_o that_o deadly_a wound_n be_v heal_v and_o when_o babylon_n triumph_v and_o glori_v most_o then_o may_v zion_n hope_v the_o more_o and_o rejoice_v most_o of_o all_o in_o her_o hope_n for_o when_o babylon_n say_v i_o sit_v a_o queen_n be_o no_o widow_n and_o shall_v not_o see_v sorrow_n than_o her_o plague_n shall_v come_v in_o one_o day_n rev._n 18.8_o that_o be_v a_o very_a short_a time_n after_o this_o her_o vain_a triumph_n for_o when_o have_v be_v under_o great_a fear_n and_o these_o pass_v away_o she_o say_v the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v past_a and_o come_v forth_o delicate_o like_o agag_n then_o if_o the_o saul_n that_o shall_v do_v it_o will_v not_o some_o samuel_n will_v be_v find_v that_o shall_v hew_v that_o great_a whore_n in_o piece_n and_o second_o when_o her_o plague_n come_v quick_a
