2. A true and well-grounded Hope is attended with a Train of other Graces. Tribulation worketh Patience, and Patience Experience, and Experience Hope, 1and Hope maketh not ashamed, (why?) because the Love of God is shed abroad in our Hearts by the Holy-Ghost. Those that have the Grace of Hope, have the Graces of Faith and Love, and all other Fruits of the Spirit, more or less, in them.
3. Hope purifies the Heart: He that hath this Hope in him, purifieth himself, 1even as he is pure. If thou hast an unsanctified Heart, never boast of thy Hope; it makes not only the Heart holy, but the Life also.
4. Hope of Salvation is grounded upon the Promises of God. The Promises give Interest, and upon Interest ariseth Hope; therefore he that hath not took hold of God's Promise by Faith, is destitute of Hope, the Anchor of the Soul.1 Remember thy Word unto thy Servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
