The wicked live, to wit, long and happily; as living is oft taken, as Leviticus 18:5 1 Samuel 10:24 1 Samuel 25:6 Psalms 38:19; a painful and afflicted life being a kind of death, and oft so called, as Deuteronomy 30:15,19 Proverbs 15:10 Proverbs 19:16 1 Corinthians 3:22 1 Corinthians 15:31. Become old, to wit, in their prosperous estate.
