5. A godly man is heavenly in his Expectation; his hopes are above the† world, Tit. 1. 2. In hope of eternal life: A godly man casts Anchor within the *veil; he hopes to have his fetters of sin filed off; he hopes for such things as eye hath not seen; he hopes for a Kingdom when he dies; a Kingdom ⟨p. 145⟩promised by the Father, purchased by the Son, assured by the Holy Ghost; as an Heir lives in hope when such a great Estate shall befall him, so a Child of God, who is a Co-heir with Christ, hopes for glory: This hope comforts him in all varieties of condition, Rom. 5. 2. We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

We rejoyce in the hope of the glory of God.
