Prosperity of the wicked, destructive. [ 757]
THe King of Egypt blest himself for having any thing to do with Polycrates
King of Samos,* 1.1 because he was over-fortunate; for having a massy and rich
Ring,* 1.2 he cast it into the Sea to try an experiment in despight of fortune, he found
it again at his Table in the belly of a Fish which was brought f••r a present unto
him; The thriving estate of the wicked is set out at large, Their Bullock gendreth, and
miscarrieth not, their Cow calveth, and casteth not her cal••e, &c. And they come not into
misfortune as other men.* 1.3 What? no misfortune? Even the greatest in this, that they
are so fortunate; Surely it were good for men not to be acquainted with such en∣grosers
of Prosperity, and much lesse to be partakers of their unhappy happiness.
