Done — Either by wicked potentates, who do commonly advance unworthy men, and oppress persons of greatest virtue and merit: or, by God's providence, who sees it fit for many weighty reasons so to manage the affairs of the present world. To whom — Who meet with such usage as the worst of men deserve. It happeneth — Who, instead of those punishments which they deserve, receive those rewards which are due to virtuous men.
