First; 'Tis a patient and well-grounded Expectation of whatsoever God hath promised. God is the Author of it, called the Hope of Israel, and the God of Hope. The Believer is the Subject of this Hope. The Object, in a strict sense, is God, who comprehends all the Good that Saints dwell in the Faith and expectation of:1 What wait I for? my Hope is in thee: In a large sense, it is the Good of the Promise not in hand,2 or already accomplished, but to be performed hereafter: Hope that is seen, is not Hope; for what a Man seeth, why doth he yet hope for it? Futurity is intrinsical to Hope's Object, and distinguisheth it from Faith, which gives a present Being to the Promise,3 and is [Greek or Hebrew], the Substance of things hoped for. The Good of the Promise hath a kind of Substance by Faith in the Soul; it is in Heaven (as it were) in an Interview; it brings the Christian and Heaven together, as if he were there already.
