hearken to the Voice of the Devil and stop your ears at the Voice of God and so let the Devil baffle you out of the choicest Comforts of your lives and then complain 2. You harbour the sin of Unbelief as if it were a harmless thing whenas it is a provoking sin Complain as long as you please you will never attain to high hopes as long as you do Let none expect high hope of Glory till these things be wrought in their Souls 1. Till the League betwixt the Soul and Sin be broken and the heart be quite out with sin as it 's an Enemy both to Christ and the Soul whilst the Heart is indulgent to sin and deals favourably with it it cannot have any sure hope of Glory but when it s become weary of it and is willing to part with it then the Soul is under that Promise Mat. 11. last and in a fair way to hopes of Glory 2. Till the Letts that keep Christ and the Soul asunder be removed Resting in our own Righteousness rejecting the command of Faith and regarding the objections of Unbelief yea retaining and cherishing the Sin of Unbelief as a harmless thing and fit Companion for the Soul are all impediments that must be removed before hope can triumph in the Soul 3. Till the Life of Faith be set up and kept up in the Soul Unbelief must not only be suppressed but Faith must be exercised and kept to its work in the soul Gal. 3.14 We receive the promise of the Spirit through faith And it s the Acts and Operations of Faith to demonstrate to the Soul that it hath received the Spirit and therefore a faithless Soul cannot live in true Hope of Glory 4. Till the Love of God be shed abroad in the Soul Rom. 5.4 5. Experience works Hope viz. The Experience of the Love of God to the soul When his Love is shed abroad in the heart and his Love-tokens appear in the soul and the Spirit gives the soul a sight of the Demonstrations of God's Love every Grace is a drop of Divine Love and the more of these drops are shed in the Soul the more visible it is to the Soul that Christ is in it and the greater satisfaction that the Soul hath herein the greater are its hope of Glory 3 Caution Take heed of conceited causeless hopes of Glory There are some whether in Christ or out of Christ I am not to determine that pretend to high hopes of Glory from an high opinion that they have of Free-Grace though they want the manifestation of true Grace in themselves That Free-grace is to be admired I grant and would not derrogate from the honour of Free-grace for a world Yet I positively affirm that it s not Free-grace quia gratis datur but quia nobis datur not because it 's freely given but because it s given to us and abideth in us and shews to us that Christ is in us and we by him in a state of Reconciliation with God that is the Spring of all true hope of Glory 1. Because this hope of Glory is one of the Priviledges of the Sons of God and no common mercy whereas if it came from Grace as free and not as in us and from a high opinion of Free-grace and not from the fruition of Free-grace then it 's a common mercy and may be found in any hypocrite that hath such an opinion in himself 2. Because this Hope of Glory is one of the Products of effectual Vocation and a Benefit that floweth from it Col. 3.15 Ephes 4.4 and therefore presupposeth effectual Vocation We must expect nothing from Free-grace but what comes in Gods own appointed way and not create to our selves foolish fancies for hopes of Glory 4 Caution Take heed of Clouding your Hope of Glory by dangerous Relapses into sin Do you live in sure hopes of Glory prize your priviledge but beware of obscuring it You find the sweetness of it and should make much of it and avoid every thing that Eclipseth this Hope of Glory Ps 85.8 God will speak peace to his people but let them not return again to folly q. d. I returned to Folly after I received Peace and I have smarted for it I broke my Peace and lost my sensible hope and would have the world to take warning by me and to take heed of Relapses into sin for Relapses into sin are returns unto Folly Let us all take warning by David and stand upon our Guard and withstand sin in its first motion lest it get advantage and we come to return to Folly and so we loose the assurance of Hope It 's a doleful loss and depresseth the Soul with much Fear and Anguish and it 's difficult and hard to regain it and therefore it will be our Wisdom to seek to prevent and to fly sin as we would fly from a Serpent for sin deals with the sinners as the Theives did by the Person of him that is spoken of Luke 10.30 They stript and wounded him It strips the Soul of us Peace and Hope and Joy and wounds the Conscience it is like the fiery Serpents in the Wilderness that stung and mortally wounded the Israelites and the wounds of Sin are not easily healed And they are painful wounds they made David as stout a Warriour as he was to roar out Psal 38.8 When hope is clouded by the dust of sin the poor soul languishes and lives very uncomfortable and that which aggravates its misery is the state from whence it is fallen To fall from hope into Despair from Joy into Sorrow adds much to the greatness of the Grief 5 Caution Take heed of cherishing Fears of future outward Calamities and falling into bad times Under high hopes of Glory I find a great Consternation in many about approaching evils and all hope of future good to the Churches of Christ in these Nations cast off by them I have read the present Dilemma of these Nations of England Scotland and Ireland considered argued and improved that hath justly alarmed us and am under the same apprehensions with that Learned and Reverend Author But think that timorous Persons abuse the Author by awakening their distrustful fears and suppressing their hopes and Faith in Gods Faithfulness and All sufficiency under our sad Circumstances All the great experiences of Gods goodness and the provision that he hath made for our future supply ought not to be overlooked but remain as food for Faith and Hope to feed upon Nay were our case much worse than it is it is our duty with David to encourage our selves in the Lord our God and to exercise an universal trust in him not only in the concerns of our Souls but in and about the Concerns of Sion And though I have discovered my thoughts to many of an approaching violent storm yet I look upon it as a storm in mercy to the People of God as the great Design of Providence to usher in thereby the greatest Favours
