7 God suffereth evil men to prosper in this world for two causes: first, that every good1 man having in him some sins, might for his few evil things have here a temporal punishment:2 and every evil man having some good things, might be rewarded with temporal benefits. Secondly, God often chastiseth his, and suffereth the wicked, that it might be seen that good men serve not God for the things of this world, as Satan reckoned by3 his account with Job, as also for that the Lord maketh not his books clear in this life, but reserveth the full and final account unto the last day of judgement, wherein every thing4 shall be fully recompensed, whether it be good or evil.
