3. Shame ariseth from utter disappointments. If hope deferred causeth shame, then much more hope destroyed. When a man sees his hopes quite cut off, so that he can no way reach the thing he looked for, shame takes hold of him strongly. David prays (Psal. 119.116.) Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and let me not be ashamed of my hope; that is, let me not lose my hope, for then I shall be ashamed; my enemies will rejoice and hoot at me, where's the word upon which you trusted to be upholden? Read Isa. 19.9. Psal. 27.6. Psal. 119.116. In all which Scriptures we find shame following the total frustration and disappointment of hope.

Evil doers shall be ashamed upon these three grounds, they have done things against common light. They shall stay waiting and gaping long for what they desire. They shall see themselves totally disappointed and defeated in their desires; hence shame shall fill their faces, and they shall be covered with it as with a garment.
