[ 631] The great difference of both good and bad, in life and death.

THe Hawk flies high,* 1.1 and is as highly prized, being set upon a pearch, ver∣vel'd with the gingling bells of encouragement, and carryed on his Master's fist, but being once dead, and picked over the pearch, is cast upon the dunghill as good for nothing; The Hen scrapes in the dust, not any thing rewarded when she is alive,* 1.2 but being dead, is brought as a choice dish to her Master's Table. Thus wick∣ed men, are commonly set in high places, and prosper in this life; and good men, lye groveling with their mouths in the dust, as the very underlings of the world; but being once dead, the one is cast into the dungeon of Hell, the other advanced to the Kingdom of Heaven; the one is into Abrahams bosom, whilst the other is tor∣mented with the Devil and his Angels.
