"When we see wicked ones prosper in the world, and godly men crushed and destroyed in the way of righteousness and integrity, it may temped us to think there is no advantage by religion, and all our self-denial and holiness to be little better than lost labour...... "Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency." This irreligious inference carnal reason was ready to draw from the dispensations of outward prosperity to wicked men; but now, if we would heedfully observe, either the signal retributions of Providence to many of them in this world, or to all of them in the world to come, O what a full confirmation is this to our faith!"
