3. There follows a joyful hope, that a Christian hath by it, a taste of Heaven before he come to enjoy it. We rejoice in hope, saith the Apostle; hope being as firm a thing as faith, faith makes things absent as present; hope hath patience with it, and would have us wait. We shall be sure of it, but yet we must wait patiently.
