All the misery of a wicked man is summed up in this, He shall have the reward of his hands. Wrath, and death, and Hell, are his rewards, and all the wages which the work both ⟨p. 184⟩of his hands and heart can earn, and these he shall have fully paid to him: Vain he hath been, and vanity shall be his recompense.

Wrath, and death, and Hell, are his rewards, and all the wages which the work both ⟨p. 184⟩of his hands and heart can earne, and these he shall have fully payd to him: Vaine he hath been, and vanity shall be his recompence.
Some read this Verse, not as a dehortation, Let not him that is deceived trust, or believe in vanity; but as a negative proposition (for that particle in the Hebrew, which sometimes carrieth a prohibition,1 notes also a bare negation; so here) He that is deceived with vanity will not believe (the same word signifies both to believe and trust) that vanity shall be his recompense: He will not believe a change, much less such a change; This is a clear sense, and it hints us this Observation.
