First, Wicked men are sometimes prospered in their counsels, and walk in pleasant (though evil) waies.
God gives delight to those in whom he hath no delight. And they have many good things from him, who never had one good thought from him. Thousands are prospered and hated at the same time When Dionysius (in the story) had robbed an Idol-Temple, and at his return by sea had a fair gale and pleasant weather to waft him home with the spoils; See (said he) how the heavens smile upon us, and how the gods are pleased with what we have done. The like conclusions many draw from the premises of outward prosperity: surely the true God is pleased with us: but there is a cloud upon this Sunshine and darkness in all this light.
