Thirdly, Disappointment of hope brings shame. Psal. 119.116. §3Let me not be ashamed of my hope saith David, If I hope for good and be disappointed, this will bring shame. Divers Scriptures we have to show this. So when those that are superstitious and Idolatrous shall raise up their hearts with great expectation of good from God in their ways of false worship and shall be disappointed of all their hope, in this God will cast shame upon them.

Fourthly, When God discovers that to be worthless and vile §4which a man hath gloried most in; that causeth shame. So Idolaters that glory in their Idolatrous ways, the Lord in time will discover them to be base and vile and worthless things, for indeed they are all but poor apish and beggarly things, and they ate fitter to please children than God. God will discover this.
