<p>Note, 1. Though men may advance themselves by sinful arts, they cannot by such arts settle and secure themselves; though they may get large estates they cannot get such as will abide: <i>A man shall not be established by wickedness</i>; it may set him in high places, but they are slippery places, <a class="bibleref" title="Ps.73.18" href="/passage/?search=Ps.73.18">Ps. 73:18</a>. That prosperity which is raised by sin is built on the sand, and so it will soon appear. 2. Though good men may have but little of the world, yet that little will last, and what is honestly got will wear well: <i>The root of the righteous shall not be moved</i>, though their branches may be shaken. Those that by faith are rooted in Christ are firmly fixed; in him their comfort and happiness are so rooted as never to be rooted up.</p>
