Timothy Rogers Quote

"We shall have no cause to murmur at their (the wicked) present undisturbed case and their seeming welfare; for their happiness is not real but apparent, and all the goods that are bestowed upon them are but mean and low in themselves, though our erroneous and blind judgments think them to be somewhat great and considerable. ... they ought rather to be looked on as an argument of God's wisdom than as any objection against his providence; for He understands the just value of things, and knows that the best of these worldly goods are bad enough to be thrown away upon the worst of men" (Rogers Trouble of Mind and the Disease of Melancholy Pg. 58).
