1. Although hypocrites and other unregenerate men may vainly deceive themselves with false hopes, and carnall presumptions of being in the favour of God, and estate of salvation;a which hope of theirs shall perish:b yet, such as truly beleeve in the Lord Jesus, and love him in sincerity, endeavouring to walk in all good conscience before him, may, in this life, be certainly assured that they are in the state of grace,c and may rejoyce in the hope of the glory of God, which hope shall never make them ashamed.d
