Those things that begin ill, prosper not usually. (Initium 1maledictum finis maledictus, Calvin in loc.) The beginning is accursed, and so is the end. Thus many businesses beginning in anger end in wrath; this Kingdom of Israel is an example of this from the beginning to the end. [But yet here also that holds the Author noted above vers 9. that no condition is so bad but there is help in God for it, and if so be that the continuance in it be not with sin, or the thing a sin in it self.]
- 1Obs. 4.
When men have enjoyed their desires in wrath a while, God 1rends them in fury from them, this is terrible indeed, for as it was given in indignation: All the while it was enjoyed it was abused, Psal. 78 30, 31. While the meat was yet in their mouths, the wrath of God came out against them.
- 1Obs. 5.
But yet we must here Note the difference that Pareus 1observes, That these calamities upon what God gives in displeasure, are indeed wrath to his own people, but in fury to his enemies.
- 1Caution. Paenae piorum ira, impiorum furor, Pareus.
