Psalms73:12
Verſ. 12. Behold thoſe are the ungodly] q.d. If God do take knowledge of things here below, and ordereth all events, how it is that the ungodly proſper, whilſt better men ſuffer?
Who prosper in the World] An ill character, every thing conſidered. See Pſal. 17.14. with the Note. Behold theſe are the ungodly, the fortunate men of the World, ſo ſome render it. He that liveth in the height of the Worlds blandiſhments, is not far from deſtruction. Periculoſa eſt ſummè bona corporis valetudo, ſaith Hippocrates. The height of health is neareſt to ſickneſſe and death.
They increaſe in riches] They wallow in wealth; God pouring honey into their hives; but for a vengeance.
