Lastly, this hope will work in us a sweet and comfortable carriage in all estates and conditions, carrying us through all impediments with courage. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry, and he will come full handed. My reward is with me, (saith Christ) and lest we should think it long before he comes, he told us long ago, that those were the latter days, and that the ends of the world were then come upon them. Do men then molest us, persecute and vex us? let us be comforted, he comes that will tread all our enemies under our feet. Do we find that we have but short spirits, that our graces are but weak? let us not dishearten our selves, he that keeps heaven for us, will give us necessary graces to bring us thither: if we want, go to the God of faith and love, he hath promised to give ⟨p. 231⟩us his spirit, to make all grace abound in us, never to leave us nor forsake us, till he hath perfected his work, in setting us with him in glory.
