DescriptionThis is a sermon on this text and the following theme: why do the wicked live? At the end of the sermon, Allestree has indicated places where he has preached this sermon.

On pp. 63-64, Allestree has reduced the substance of the sermon to two pages, extracting the main thrust of the sermon on these pages.

Other NoteIt seems clear that for Allestree, the sermon's main structure and content was the foundation for sermons preached on different but related biblical texts. In this case, all three focus on the prosperity of the wicked.
