Sinners

By Jeremy Taylor

SINNERS.—I will never more call that sinner prosperous, who after he hath been permitted to finish his business, shall die and perish miserably; for at the same rate we may envy the happiness of a poor fisherman who while his nets were drying, slept upon the rock and dreamed that he was made a king, on a sudden starts up, and leaping for joy falls down from the rock; and in the place of his imaginary felicities, loses his little portion of pleasure, and innocent solaces, he had from the sound sleep and little cares of his humble cottage.—Jeremy Taylor.
