Fourthly and lastly consider, ¹That disappointment is the most afflicting evil, that a rational Creature is capable of: And there be three Aggravations which render it intolerable.

1. 1Motive 4.

First, The more precious the concernment, the more grievous the disappointment, to be disappointed of a common preferment is very vexatious, what is it then to be disappointed of a Crown, a Kingdom. Secondly, The higher the confidence of speeding, the deeper the anxiety of disappointment: to come to the Church door in expectation of a rich and honourable match, and when hands come to be joined, then to be rejected, this is enough to distract. Thirdly, The less hope of recovery, the father and more killing is the disappointment; to be cast in a Suit of Law for an Inheritance which is uncapable of a second trial, is enough to put a man besides himself.

Secondly, The higher the confidence of speeding, the deeper the anxiety of disappointment: to come to the Church door in expectation of a rich and honourable match, and when hands come to be joyned, then to be rejected, this is enough to distract. Thirdly, The less hope of recovery, the fadder and more killing is the disappointment; to be cast in a Suit of Law for an Inheritance which is uncapable of a second trial, is enough to put a man besides himself.

Behold (oh precious souls) disappointment at the day of Judgment, falls under the terror of this threefold aggravation, and that in the most dreadful notion that tongue can express, or heart conceive.
