PSALM CXXIX. §-8. 303
SERMON. PsaLm cxxix.5, 6, 7, 8.%
It is not without cause that the Apostle says, Rom. s,+ ‘" Experience makes hope." It's true, I grant, faith makes hope also; for where there is faith to believe the word and the promise of God, there there is hope to expect the thing promised; yet it is true also that experience makes hope to be more; for experience assists, backs, and strengthens faith, and is as it were a pillar to uphold it. Without experience, I grant, we have ground good enough to hope; but when there is experience joined with our hope, then we hope more; and this is very sensible to every true Christian in his course of Christianity. When he knows that there is a promise of deliverance to the people of God, and he sees it In the word of God, this makes him to hope; and when he knows that others has found the like, this makes him to hope, for he knows that God is unchangeable. And when there is another promise, and a proof of the truth of it, then his hope is further strengthened: and if he find the proof of als many deliverances as make up ane experience, then his hope is mightily strengthened. And therefore ye know that this man who wrate this psalm at another time says, ‘That same Lord who delivered me from the paw of the bear and the lion, will also deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine." He makes mention there of two proofs he had of God's delivering of him, whilk were als many as made up ane experience; and therefore he hopes that that same God, who was his God then, will be his God still, and never leave him, nor forsake him. And as it is with the experience of any particular person, so 1s it with the kirk also. For the experience that the kirk has found of any deliverance in time past, when they look upon it, it maketh the kirk and every Christian to hope that it sall go well with them, but it sall go badly with the
