Again consider the excellency of these 1good things that we have discovered to us in the Gospel, (that are the object of our embracing) together with the necessity of them, that without them we are wretched creatures, there is no hope for us. Let us every day consider what ground of hope we have, (though the things be not yet possest) whether the things be true that we hope for; whether they be confirmed to be true or no; and how we rest on them: for let things be never so excellent, and necessary, unless the soul conceive of them as things attainable, as things belonging ⟨p. 282⟩to us, all is to no purpose, this effect of embracing will not be wrought in the soul. Therefore consider more and more the hopefulness 2of them, that may help this embracing.
