¹3. By earnest praying for it our hope of it is much strengthened and confirmed; Now a divine hope of this glory is rhat which makes us bear all afflictions, endure all chastisements; This is the Oil to keep our Lamps up, It's the anchor to the Ship, It's that only which keeps the heart from breaking: The Scripture calls it the lively hope, 1 Pet. 1.3. all worldly hopes are dead and fading, but this hope is in the power and promise of God; Now there is no way to blow up these sparks of hope into a flame so much as by prayer, for prayer if rightly discharged being a prayer of faith, it must needs beget a lively hope; Oh then that we had this hope of eternal glory reigning in us more; Thou hast carnal hope, worldly hope, all the day long is spent in hoping after some earthly comfort or other, but this divine hope is a stranger to thee.
