The hypocrites hope shall perish.] That is, the time shall come when he shall give over the hope which he hath hoped, or the thing shall fail him, wherein he hoped. First, the object of his hope shall fail him, that is, those benefits, blessings, accommodations and comforts which he looked for in the profession of religion, these shall fail him and prove false hopes. Hypocrites (Mat. 7.) plead with Christ for heaven, Lord, we have prophesied in thy Name, and in thy Name cast out devils, &c. but their hopes perished, Depart from ⟨p. 84⟩me (saith Christ) I know you not. His hope perisheth when he cannot have the things he hoped for. Secondly, The act of his hope shall fail, his hope shall be so long deferred that his hope shall die: he never had any true ground of hope, and at the last he shall not have a show of hope. His hope shall perish.
