Let this admonish us to have nothing to do with sinful persons,1 nor to be troubled with their seeming prosperity;2 They stand in slippery places; 3God lets them alone for a while, but their pleasure will end in bitterness at last; all their riches shall end in poverty & beggary, They shall not have a drop of •ater to cool their tongues; 4All their honour and greatness shall end ⟨p. 58⟩in con•usion and shame, and lie in the dust ere long. In deed we should rather pity them if we consider their latter ends. Alas, what shall become of them ere long? The fall of there wretches shall be so terrible, that peter could not set it down, but leaves it to the admiration of the Reader, What shall the end of such be! &c.
