Hope was once their tenure: 1In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lye, &c. And they rejoiced in it; Ye rejoice in the hope of the glory of God, and they blessed God for it: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, which hath begotten us again unto a lively hope, &c. of which hope faith was the substance and basis, Heb. 11.1. and even this hope was very precious unto them a little heaven upon earth, save that now and then some clouds of fear and doubts did interpose between heaven and their dim eye, and so eclipsed their vision.
Hope was once their tenure: 1In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lye, &c. And they rejoyced in it; Ye rejoyce in the hope of the glory of God, and they blessed God for it: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, which hath begotten us again unto a lively hope, &c. of which hope faith was the substance and basis, Heb. 11.1. and even this hope was very precious unto them a little heaven upon earth, save that now and then some clouds of fear and doubts did interpose between heaven and their dim eye, and so eclipsed their vision.
