In-Text It being enough to reconcile the greatest Prosperity of the Unjust, and the greatest Adversity of the Righteous, both with the Mercy and the Iustice of God Almighty, That the Lord of the Harvest, when the Harvest-Time is come, will gather the Wheat into his Garner, and burn up the Chaff with Fire unquenchable. If the Flesh asks the Quaestion, Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they happy who deal treacherously? Why has the Devil so great a Power upon Earth? Why does the wicked devour the man who is more righteous than He? Let the Spirit make Answer in the words of the Apostle, That this light Affliction which is but for a moment, worketh for us (afterwards) a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory.
