Thirdly,1 A people in a flourishing condition, when they prosper most, and overcome their Enemies, and have all according to their hearts desire, even that may be the time for God to come out in his wrath against them. So it was here, therefore we must not judg our Enemies to be happy, nor fear them because of their flourishing estate for the present, neither let us be secure our selves because of the mercies we enjoy. God doth not always so, but sometimes he is pleased thus to deal with sinners, to stay till they be at the height of their prosperity, and then to come upon them, as here he did.
