In the day of prosperity be joyful Enjoy God's favours with thankfulness. In the day of adversity consider Namely, God's work, that it is his hand, and therefore submit to it: consider also why he sends it: for what sins, and with what design? God also hath set the one against the other Hath wisely ordained, that prosperity and adversity should succeed one another; that man should find nothing after him Or, rather, after it, as it may be rendered; that is, after his present condition, whether it be prosperous or afflictive: that no man might be able to foresee what shall befall him afterward; and therefore might live in a constant dependance upon God, and neither despair in trouble, nor be secure or presumptuous in prosperity.
