PRosperity to the wicked is as wind to a bladder,* 1.1 which swels it untill it burst, like a Ship when she is top and top gallant soonest cast away; like a Spider in a Kings house, soonest swept down; When a wicked man is at the highest, then he is nearest his fall; and usually when he is in the ruffe of all his bravery, God so or∣ders it, that he is humbled on a suddain.
