5. That man that hath true hope, he makes conscience to keep his heart pure, and free both from the love of sin, and from the dominion of sin, while he lives here in this world; you have a plain text for this in 1 Joh. 3. 3. He that hath this hope in him, purifieth 1himself even as God is pure; he doth labour and endeavour to keep his heart upright, and pure, and free from sin. But now a false hope will hope for heaven, though they walk on after the imaginations ⟨p. 224⟩of their own hearts, as in Isaiah. 51. 10. Thou hast walked in the greatness of thy wicked 2ways, yet saidst thou not, there is no hope: though they had great sins, yet they had great hopes for heaven; if thou art such a one as is mentioned in Deut. 59. 18. that sayest, Thou shalt have peace, though thou walkest 3after the imaginations of thy own heart, to add drunkenness to thirst, if thou art such a one, thy hope is only a presumptuous hope.
