Literature | Waiters upon Providence Those who cling to the prosperous, but fall away from decaying fortunes. "The side of the Puritans was deserted at this period by a numerous class of ... $$$ persons, who never forsook them till they became unfortunate. These sagacious personages were called ... waiters upon Providence, and deemed it a high delinquency towards heaven to afford countenance to any cause longer than it was favoured by fortune."- Sir. W. Scott: $$$ of the Peak, chap. iv. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
