because_o the_o object_n of_o it_o be_v a_o future_a good_a desire_a and_o expect_v but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o hope_n that_o be_v join_v with_o a_o full_a assurance_n of_o the_o event_n a_o hope_n that_o may_v flower_n up_o into_o such_o a_o certainty_n as_o to_o have_v no_o mixture_n of_o fear_n or_o doubt_v in_o its_o composition_n but_o may_v be_v as_o sure_a of_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n as_o if_o our_o reversion_n be_v already_o in_o actual_a possession_n whereas_o worldly_a hope_n can_v never_o be_v secure_a but_o some_o providence_n or_o other_o may_v interpose_v to_o disappoint_v it_o the_o other_o prerogative_n of_o a_o christian_n hope_n be_v that_o though_o it_o be_v thus_o full_o assure_v yet_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o it_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o sweet_a relish_n of_o surprise_n and_o wonder_n for_o the_o happiness_n will_v be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o hope_n and_o the_o inheritance_n large_a than_o the_o expectation_n whereas_o earthly_a hope_n if_o they_o grow_v to_o any_o degree_n of_o confidence_n of_o success_n upon_o frustration_n they_o turn_v into_o impatience_n and_o rage_n or_o if_o perhaps_o they_o do_v succeed_v the_o

in_o and_o upon_o both_o these_o account_n the_o pious_a and_o obedient_a christian_a be_v bless_v in_o hope_n it_o be_v a_o bless_a hope_n that_o shall_v certain_o be_v accomplish_v and_o a_o bless_a hope_n the_o accomplish_n of_o which_o shall_v infinite_o exceed_v our_o expectation_n and_o fill_v we_o not_o with_o shame_n but_o eternal_a admiration_n and_o wonder_n four_o right_o bless_a in_o
