John Trapp on Proverbs 11:8

Verſ. 8. And the wicked cometh in his ſtead] Thus it befel Haman, and Daniels enemies, and thoſe inhumane Edomites, Lam. 4.21. And Herod with his Hackſters, Act. 12. It is a righteous thing with God, 2 Theſ. 1.6, 7. though to men it ſeem an incredible paradox, and a news by far more admirable, than acceptable, that there ſhould bee ſuch a tranſmutation of conditions on both ſides, to contraries: But thus it falls out frequently. John Martin of Briqueras (a mile from Angrogne in France) vaunted every where,Act & Mon. fol. 871. that hee would ſlit the Miniſters noſe of Angrogne. But behold himſelf was ſhortly after aſſaulted by a Woolf, which bit off his noſe, ſo that hee died mad thereof.
