Husbandmen, Soldiers, Merchants, are all whetted on by hope to diligence in their callings, as daily experience shows. Hope (saith Aquinas) confert ad operationem, and he proveth it first by Scripture 1 Cor. 9. 10. He which Eareth and Thresheth must Ear and Thresh in hope: And then by a twofold reason. 1. From the Nature of hopes object, Bonum arduum & possible, some excellent good attainable by industry. Existimatio ardut excitat attentionem, hope to get that by pains, which is conceived to be a thing of worth, stirs up to pains taking. 2. From the effect of hope, which is delectatio, an inward pleasure, which the party that lives under hope is affected with by his hope. There is no man which hath an inward contentment and satisfaction of heart in the work that he hath to do, but goes on merrily. The hope of Heaven therefore is a great encouragement to piety.

2. The fear of Hell also is a strong curb to hold men in from Wickedness, and therefore (saith one) God hath planted in men a fear of vengeance, that by it, as the ship by the rudder, the soul may be presently, turned aside from any rocks, or gulfs, or quick-sands of sin, when it is near them, and so may steer its course another way. For this cause, fear of God, and abstaining from evil, are often joined together in Scripture
