I answer, it is true, the unrighteous are scattered in this life, and gathered by death, as well as the righteous, but with a great deal of difference.
First, the wicked are scattered in this life, but they are scattered from God; but the Godly are scattered for God, and for a good conscience many times, as they at Jerusalem were scattered: The godly are scattered from the glorious presence of God in Heaven; but the wicked are scattered from the gracious presence of God on earth. Again, the scattering of the wicked is a curse to them, and it is threatened as a curse, Lev. 26.32. I will scatter you among the Heathen, and draw out my sword after you: and where-ever the wicked come, in what part soever of the world the wicked are scattered, they bring the curse of God with them: and they bring the judgments of God on Towns and Cities where they are, as plague, famine, and sword, and all miseries. But the Godly, when they are scattered, they are scattered as a blessing, into what country or town soever they come, they come as a blessing, they come like a Ship laden with Corn, to a Town ready to perish with famine: they come as a blessing four ways.
