Meditation VIII.
Saints happier be when most distressed,
Saints happier be when most distrest,
Then wicked men are at the best.
[1] WE have the Wicked viewed, And seen his best estate: And who would choose with him to share, Except a Reprobate? 1For sure the Simple's ease Shall turn to his decay: And the Prosperity of Fools Shall utterly them slay.
