substance_n he_n express_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o take_v the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n joyful_o namely_o because_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o religion_n of_o christ_n and_o thereby_o know_v for_o certain_a that_o a_o far_o better_a estate_n and_o more_o last_a possession_n yea_o everlasting_a be_v reserve_v for_o they_o in_o heaven_n for_o which_o these_o earthly_a and_o transitory_a good_n be_v very_o gaineful_o exchange_v especial_o when_o they_o be_v make_v away_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o the_o place_n where_o this_o excellent_a and_o everlasting_a estate_n be_v reserve_v be_v in_o heaven_n which_o do_v further_o argue_v the_o excellency_n and_o eternity_n of_o it_o for_o though_o christian_n be_v sometime_o spoil_v of_o their_o good_n which_o they_o have_v upon_o earth_n yet_o of_o those_o they_o have_v in_o heaven_n they_o neither_o shall_v nor_o can_v ever_o be_v spoil_v for_o that_o in_o heaven_n can_v be_v no_o spoil_n neither_o by_o moth_n rust_n nor_o thief_n christ_n teach_v we_o mat._n 6.20_o lay_v up_o for_o yourselves_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n where_o neither_o moth_n nor_o rust_n do_v corrupt_a and_o where_o thief_n do_v not_o break_v through_o nor_o steal_v and_o this_o everlasting_a estate_n though_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o the_o faithful_a even_o while_o they_o be_v upon_o earth_n have_v it_o already_o though_o not_o for_o the_o possession_n of_o it_o for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v possess_v it_o but_o for_o the_o expectation_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n and_o hope_n as_o son_n and_o heir_n unto_o it_o for_o now_o they_o have_v the_o same_o right_n that_o the_o heir_n under_o age_n have_v to_o his_o inheritance_n whereby_o they_o know_v believe_v and_o hope_v with_o full_a assurance_n that_o they_o shall_v possess_v it_o 35._o cast_v not_o away_o therefore_o your_o confidence_n from_o the_o word_n precedent_n he_o infer_v a_o exhortation_n that_o see_v they_o have_v get_v such_o a_o good_a report_n for_o their_o courage_n and_o constancy_n therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o now_o be_v overcome_v with_o misery_n and_o distress_n and_o so_o turn_v from_o the_o right_a course_n of_o godliness_n whereinto_o they_o be_v now_o enter_v by_o confidence_n here_o he_o mean_v either_o a_o undaunted_a courage_n of_o constancy_n of_o mind_n in_o profess_v the_o christian_a religion_n or_o else_o a_o full_a trust_n in_o god_n whereby_o we_o so_o rely_v upon_o he_o and_o be_v so_o certain_a of_o our_o heavenly_a inheritance_n that_o we_o refuse_v the_o suffering_n of_o no_o evil_a which_o have_v great_a recompense_n of_o reward_n he_n bring_v a_o motive_n whereby_o to_o persuade_v his_o former_a exhortation_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o castaway_n their_o confidence_n namely_o because_o their_o confidence_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a recompense_n of_o reward_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v idle_a and_o vain_a lest_o it_o shall_v lose_v the_o reward_n for_o to_o idleness_n and_o vanity_n no_o reward_n can_v in_o equity_n be_v due_a but_o their_o confidence_n must_v be_v effectual_a and_o painful_a in_o the_o exercise_n of_o holiness_n and_o good_a work_n that_o thereby_o they_o hold_v and_o keep_v their_o title_n to_o the_o reward_n for_o though_o faith_n and_o not_o good_a work_n do_v create_v as_o the_o title_n whereby_o we_o have_v the_o reward_n yet_o good_a work_n do_v preserve_v or_o maintain_v that_o title_n which_o be_v create_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o good_a work_n we_o hold_v our_o right_n to_o the_o reward_n and_o without_o they_o we_o shall_v certain_o lose_v the_o reward_n and_o beside_o these_o word_n have_v reference_n to_o the_o former_a verse_n wherein_o he_o show_v what_o this_o recompense_n of_o reward_n be_v namely_o a_o excellent_a and_o endure_a substance_n in_o heaven_n 36._o for_o you_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n here_o be_v another_o motive_n to_o persuade_v the_o former_a exhortation_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o cast_v away_o their_o confidence_n but_o be_v patient_a under_o reproach_n and_o affliction_n even_o to_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n namely_o because_o they_o have_v need_n of_o patience_n which_o may_v be_v take_v in_o a_o double_a sense_n either_o with_o a_o check_n as_o if_o they_o want_v patience_n or_o without_o a_o check_n for_o to_o have_v need_n of_o a_o thing_n do_v sometime_o imply_v a_o simple_a necessity_n of_o that_o thing_n whereby_o to_o attain_v somewhat_o whether_o we_o have_v that_o thing_n or_o have_v it_o not_o sometime_o it_o imply_v a_o necessity_n join_v with_o the_o want_n of_o that_o thing_n that_o after_o you_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n you_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n he_o express_v the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o patience_n that_o he_o may_v show_v to_o what_o purpose_n they_o have_v need_n of_o it_o and_o the_o use_n of_o patience_n be_v two_o fold_n the_o one_o more_o near_a the_o other_o more_o remote_a which_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o be_v the_o last_o the_o near_a or_o former_a use_n of_o our_o patience_n be_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n see_v patience_n itself_o be_v not_o the_o least_o part_n of_o god_n will_n and_o without_o it_o the_o other_o part_n of_o godliness_n and_o consequent_o the_o rest_n of_o god_n will_n can_v thorough_o be_v perform_v the_o other_o use_n and_o last_o end_n of_o patience_n which_o follow_v from_o the_o former_a and_o without_o which_o this_o can_v subsist_v be_v to_o receive_v the_o promise_n or_o rather_o the_o matter_n promise_v which_o be_v the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o ever-enduring_a substance_n for_o they_o only_o do_v at_o last_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n who_o first_o perform_v the_o will_n of_o god_n wherefore_o without_o patience_n and_o constancy_n in_o suffer_v evil_n it_o be_v impossible_a as_o to_o perform_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o to_o receive_v the_o ever-enduring_a substance_n which_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n 37._o for_o yet_o a_o little_a while_n another_o motive_n to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o patience_n in_o suffering_n urge_v by_o way_n of_o prevent_v a_o objection_n some_o man_n may_v say_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n for_o a_o man_n to_o lie_v under_o affliction_n so_o long_o a_o time_n and_o to_o expect_v the_o promise_n whereof_o you_o speak_v after_o many_o age_n to_o this_o the_o author_n answer_v that_o the_o time_n allot_v for_o our_o patience_n be_v not_o long_o but_o short_a for_o after_o a_o little_a while_n we_o shall_v receive_v the_o recompense_n or_o reward_v of_o our_o patience_n promise_v unto_o we_o and_o see_v this_o promise_n though_o it_o be_v delay_v yet_o the_o delay_n be_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n therefore_o the_o delay_n of_o it_o shall_v discourage_v no_o man_n or_o dishearten_v he_o under_o affliction_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v come_v will_v come_v and_o will_v not_o tarry_v the_o time_n remain_v for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o little_a while_n but_o very_o certain_a for_o very_o certain_a it_o be_v because_o he_o shall_v and_o will_v come_v and_o but_o a_o little_a while_n because_o he_o will_v not_o tarry_v the_o reward_n promise_v can_v be_v far_o off_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v weary_v with_o the_o expectation_n and_o stay_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a while_n yet_o remain_v for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o at_o his_o come_n be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o promise_a reward_n for_o he_o will_v bring_v the_o reward_n with_o he_o and_o they_o shall_v receive_v it_o who_o have_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o time_n to_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o little_a while_n be_v gather_v from_o hence_o because_o that_o the_o time_n of_o each_o man_n life_n be_v but_o a_o little_a while_n &_o at_o the_o end_n of_o each_o man_n life_n be_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o he_o as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o verse_n 25._o hence_o paul_n say_v that_o the_o burden_n of_o our_o affliction_n be_v but_o light_n and_o the_o time_n but_o for_o a_o moment_n compare_v with_o the_o eternity_n of_o that_o glory_n which_o shall_v follow_v upon_o it_o 2._o cor._n 4.17_o and_o peter_n to_o abate_v the_o force_n of_o our_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n say_v that_o we_o be_v now_o for_o a_o season_n in_o heaviness_n through_o manifold_a temptation_n 1._o pet._n 1.6_o and_o he_o say_v again_o that_o after_o we_o have_v suffer_v a_o while_n the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n will_v exalt_v we_o by_o christ_n into_o his_o eternal_a glory_n 1._o pet._n 5.10_o yet_o when_o the_o author_n say_v yet_o a_o little_a while_n he_o tacit_o grant_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o space_n of_o time_n intervening_a as_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o who_o
