Good Men, They find a Wheel in their Condition. Holy Job was once a man of Substance, but anon, Poor to a Proverb: and yet, ⟨p. 9⟩O WHEEL; it was not long before it came to that, in Job 42.10. The Lord turned the Captivity of Job.
Bad Men, They too find a Wheel in their Condition. We are told, in Prov. 20.26. A Wise King Scatters the Wicked, and brings the WHEEL over them. Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Heaven, is that King; His Wicked Enemies may arrive to an Height of Wickedness and Advancement; but, O WHEEL, how strangely will He over-set them▪

Small Men, Tis in a Wheel that They have their Condition. It is a thing Celebrated in Psal. 113.7, 8. He Raises up the Poor out of the Dust, and Lifts the Needy out of the Dunghill; That He may set him with Princes, with the Princes of his People. Thus, the Son of a Poor Potter among the Ancients, was lifted up, from the Wheels wherein he shaped his Clay, unto a Sceptre. And, O WHEEL; The Son of a Poor Blacksmith, among the Moderns, was made One of the Greatest Men, and the Grand Instrument of the Reformation, in the English Nation.
