- 1Obs. 2.
Let us learn for ever not to judge of the goodness of a thing by 1the success of it. Say some, I'll warrant you we will have this; and if they get what they desire, they think God approves of it: They may desire a thing, and be set upon it, and though much be said to the contrary, yet they may drive on their designs, and prosper in it: But this is no argument that God owns it as good, never judge of things by success.
