Hence Note.
Wicked men often outlive all their worldly enjoyments: Some ⟨p. 188⟩live to be their own Executors; they dispose, or rather dissipate all; they leave nothing when they dye, for others. The pride of wicked men shall have a fall, their present possessions and future hopes shall come to nought (Prov. 3.16.) Solomon tells us, that Wisdom hath length of days in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honour: We may say of sin, Shortness of days is in its right hand, and in its left hand, poverty and disgrace. The former point saith, that a wicked mans days are short, he shall be cut off before his time, death cuts him off. The latter saith, his pomp, his riches and honour, all these shall be cut off before the time. We have seen some who have raised great estates by sin, and they have seen an end of all in misery.
