Who is a perfect man in the language of Scripture,1 and wherein this perfection consists, hath been opened more then once already, and therefore I shall not stay upon it here. Only in general, The perfect man is the man in the highest form of holiness; a man full of knowledge, faith and good works, one of the first three in grace, yea he may be the first of the three, yet all this is no security against the forest affliction, against affliction to destruction temporal, He destroyeth the perfect, And the wicked.

Or the unquiet and tumultuous man.1 Every wicked man is an unsettled, and an unquiet man. He hath no where to rest, who hath not Christ to rest upon: He is always out of the way, who is not in him, who is the way. Wicked men rest only in doing evil, they are never quiet but in motions unto sin. God shows us their nature in their name. Unquiet is their name, and unquietness is with them. Wicked men trouble and vex others as much as they can, but they trouble and vex themselves most of all.
