Though misery be present, comfort absent, though through the dim and waterish humour of thy heart, thou canst spy no deliverance; yet such is the nature of Hope, that futura facta dicit: It speaks of future ⟨p. 8⟩things, as if they were present. Rom. 8.1 We are saved by hope. Yet sic liberati, ut adhuc speranda sit haereditas, postea possidenda. Nunc habemius jus adrem, nondum in re. We have our inheritance, in hope; which gives us the right of the substance, though not the substance of the right: assurance of the possession, though not possession of the thing assured. This tells us, that Nemo valde dolebit & diu, no man should grieve much and long. God making our misery, aut tolerabilem, aut brevem, either sufferable or short.
