The beasts of slaughter have the f•ttest pastures; so have the §1ungodly in the world; Their eyes stand out with fatness, they have more than heart could wish, Psal. 73. 7. their hearts are as fat as grease, Psal. 119. 7. These be they that fleet off the cream of earthly enjoyments, whose bellies are filled with hidden treasures, Psal. 17. 14. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, Job 9. 24. O, what full estates? what an affluence of earthly delights hath God cast in upon some wicked men? there is much wantonness, but no want in their dwellings: Some that now know not which way to turn themselves in hell, once knew not where to bestow their goods on earth.
