Proverbs1:32-33

Verſ. 32. For the turning away] Whereas it might bee objected, that mean-while wicked men live at eaſe and proſper. It is granted, but withal aſſerted, that theſe fatted Oxen are but fitted for the ſlaughter. The Sunſhine of proſperity ripens the ſin of the wicked apace. Bernard calls it miſericordiam omni indignatione crudeliorem, a mercy that hee had no mind to. What good is there in having a fine ſute with the plague in it? As ſoon may a man miſcarry upon the ſoft ſands, as upon the hard rocks.

Horat. Pſal. 112.Verſ. 33. ſhall bee quiet from the fear] Impavidum ferient ruinae. Hee ſhall not bee afraid of evil tidings. His Ark is pitched within and without; toſſed it may bee, but not drowned, ſhaken, but not ſhivered, &c.
