our_o faith_n be_v assist_v by_o our_o second_o divine_a virtue_n which_o be_v our_o christian_a hope_n this_o hope_n be_v that_o virtue_n which_o assure_v we_o that_o for_o the_o reward_n of_o our_o

see_v nor_o ear_n have_v hear_v nor_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n can_v conceive_v or_o comprehend_v as_o st._n paul_n declare_v this_o hope_n give_v such_o confidence_n that_o death_n can_v overcome_v it_o because_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v although_o he_o shall_v kill_v i_o yet_o i_o will_v hope_v in_o he_o why_o then_o shall_v any_o sear_v to_o die_v for_o his_o faith_n have_v this_o hope_n it_o be_v for_o want_n of_o make_v due_a reflection_n and_o use_n of_o this_o hope_n that_o cause_v so_o many_o to_o be_v fearful_a to_o suffer_v and_o make_v they_o fly_v the_o field_n of_o persecution_n and_o forsake_v the_o banner_n of_o their_o christian_a faith_n that_o all_o aught_o to_o fight_v under_o and_o will_v still_o fight_v under_o will_v they_o make_v use_n of_o the_o divine_a hope_n of_o god_n promise_n which_o be_v such_o that_o as_o david_n say_v psal_n 125._o that_o he_o that_o hope_n or_o trust_v in_o our_o lord_n shall_v be_v as_o mount_n zion_n which_o can_v be_v remove_v but_o remain_v for_o ever_o as_o the_o mountain_n say_v god_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o david_n be_v about_o jerusalem_n so_o the_o lord_n be_v round_o about_o his_o people_n that_o be_v such_o as_o will_v place_v their_o hope_n in_o he_o as_o the_o prophet_n do_v and_o exhort_v 6._o we_o to_o do_v the_o same_o say_v psal_n 130._o 5_o 6._o my_o soul_n have_v hope_v in_o our_o lord_n from_o the_o morning_n watch_n even_o until_o night_n let_v israel_n hope_v in_o our_o lord_n that_o be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n till_o the_o night_n of_o death_n as_o well_o in_o the_o morning_n of_o prosperity_n as_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o adversity_n because_o it_o be_v also_o write_v god_n be_v my_o hope_n for_o ever_o and_o whosoever_o can_v true_o say_v with_o david_n psal_n 31._o 1._o in_o thou_o o_o lord_n have_v i_o place_v my_o hope_n shall_v be_v assure_v of_o what_o there_o follow_v not_o to_o be_v confound_v for_o ever_o because_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v hope_v consound_v not_o there_o be_v a_o contrary_a vice_n to_o this_o virtue_n a_o worldly_a fear_n that_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o confusion_n it_o make_v worldling_n swear_v and_o forswear_v and_o perjure_v for_o which_o perjury_n and_o false_a oath_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v judgement_n spring_v up_o as_o hemlock_n in_o the_o furrow_n of_o the_o field_n and_o therefore_o dr._n thorndick_n in_o his_o book_n of_o just_a weight_n and_o measure_n say_v that_o coaction_n of_o oath_n be_v the_o cry_a sin_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o call_v down_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n what_o better_a remedy_n than_o to_o secure_v ourselves_o against_o all_o worldly_a fear_n and_o these_o ensue_a danger_n but_o by_o rely_v on_o the_o hope_n of_o future_a blessing_n which_o god_n if_o we_o fight_v and_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n have_v promise_v god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o host_n and_o we_o fight_v under_o he_o and_o if_o we_o trust_v in_o he_o we_o be_v happy_a as_o david_n say_v psal_n 84._o 5._o o_o lord_n of_o host_n 5._o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o trust_v in_o thou_o in_o who_o to_o hope_n be_v to_o be_v secure_v and_o therefore_o david_n also_o say_v psal_n 91._o he_o shall_v cover_v thou_o with_o his_o feather_n and_o under_o his_o wing_n shall_v thou_o hope_v especial_o if_o we_o fight_v for_o our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o add_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n his_o truth_n shall_v be_v thy_o shield_n and_o buckler_n if_o we_o will_v hope_v in_o he_o and_o his_o reward_n for_o if_o we_o hope_v for_o our_o great_a wage_n we_o shall_v easy_o undergo_v our_o little_a work_n as_o for_o example_n if_o we_o hope_v to_o drink_v of_o the_o torrent_n of_o pleasure_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v we_o shall_v in_o his_o
