and shall slaves goe free shall children serve at the table and shall servants sit downe shall Gods deare children weepe lament and sorrow and shall the wicked worldlings rejoyce Ye● beloved Truth it selfe hath spoken it and David seing it verified ingeniously confessed his feet were almost gone and his tradings had well neere flipt Psal 73. 2. It hath indeed beene Psal 73. 2. alwayes a great temptation to the godly to see the wicked enemies of God in prosperity and to behold his deare children in adversity wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper saith Ieremy and why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgresse Ier 12. 1. wherefore dothe wicked live saith Iob Jer. 12. 1 wax old and grow in wealth Iob. 21. 7. Certainely saith David I have clensed my heart in vaine and washed mine hands in innocency Psal 73. 13. for daily have I beene punished and chastened every morning Psal 37. 2. Psal 73. 13. Thus beloved though God be just in all his works and holy in all his wayes yet man is not able to give a reason of all his deeds David himselfe saw not the end of these men till he went into the Sanctuary of God namely how they were set in slippery places and though they seeme to flourish for a while like greene bay trees yet are they soone cut downe like the grasse and Psal 37. 2. withered even as the greene herbe O how soone doe they consume perish and come to a fearefull end The righteous indeed shall be punished but as for the seed of the ungodly it shall be rooted out at the last Psal 37. 29. Psal 37. 29. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mundus autem gaudebit But the Observ 2 world shall rejoyce The vilest men upon earth you see may have a time of mirth in this world The wickedest wretches under the cope and canopy of heaven may have a time of rejoyceing a time of prosperity here Loe saith David These are the wicked yet prosper they alway and increase in riches Psal 73. 12. The earth saith Iob is given into the hand of the wicked Iob. 9. 24. Did not cursed Cham rejoyce a while had not cruell Cain a time of prosperity here on earth had not the filthy Sodomites a time of jollity in this world Had not hard-hearted Pharaoh a time of mirth in Aegypt breifely had not hypocriticall Saul had not wicked Haman had not treacherous Iudas their severall times of rejoycing And at this day with us have not blasphemous swearers debauched Drunkards prophane Papists and Neuteralizing Atheist have not these I say their severall times of delight and pleasure here we cannot deny it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mundus enim gaudebit for the world shall rejoyce And is not this the Reason namely because they have Reason 1 their portion here because their heaven is upon earth in a word because they have all the joy here that ever they are like to have Nam qui hic consolantur indigni tua consolatione habentur so Aug. in Soliloque for they that are comforted here Aug in Soliloq with the worlds consolations are counted unworthy of thy heavenly consolations hereafter Sonne remember saith Abraham to Dives that thou in thy life time receivedst thy pleasures and likewise Lazarus his paines now therefore is he comforted and thou art tormented Luke 16. 25. Luk. 16. 25. Secondly wicked men have a time of mirth a time of Reason 2 prosperity here that they may be found without all colour of excuse at the dreadfull day of Judgement for by it they are as it were fatted up against the day of slaughter But I passe on to the objects of this worldly joy and as most pertinent to my purpose in hand I proceed to shew you wherein Worldlings delight in vvhat the godly lament so wicked men doe thus rejoyce Now the Object of the worlds Joy is fourefold wicked men I say rejoyce especially in these foure things First in their owne sinnes Secondly in the sinnes of others Thirdly in the miseries of others and Fourthly and lastly in doing mischeife unto others They rejoyce first in their owne sinnes Psal 10. 3. The 1 Their owne sins Psal 10. 3. Moler Com. in locum Superbia inquit impios eousque provehit ut non tantum pravis suis cupiditatibus securi indulgeant sed etiam spreto contempto dei judicio de sua cupiditate sceleribus glorientur seque omnireatu absolvant wicked hath made boast of his owne hearts desire and the coveteous blesseth himselfe in his wickednesse that is saith Molerus commenting on the place The wicked rejoyce in their sinnes and contemning Gods Iudgements glory in their wickednesse Such rejoycers as they are Solomon derides Ecclesiastes 11. 9. Rejoyce O goung man in thy youth and let thy dayes cheere thee in the dayes of thy youth and walke in the wayes of thine heart and in the sight of thine eyes but yet know that for all these things God will bring thee to Judgement But what doe wicked men rejoyce only in their owne sinnes and doth their joy dilate it selfe noe further then to delight in their owne wickednesse O yes beloved as not content with their owne they rejoyce in the sinnes of others too which is the second object of the worlds Joy and wicked mens rejoycing Thus cursed Cham rejoyced at his fathers 2 Others sins nakednesse Gen 8 22. and I would to God that this rejoycing Gen. 8. 22. were not so common amongst the carowsing Chams of these our dayes who impudently boast not only of their owne immoderate quaffing and beastly uncleanenesse but also shamelesly glory in the weakenesse and infirmities of others O how many doe by this meanes draw iniquity with Isaiah 5. 18. 1 Cor. 5. 6. the coards of vanity and sin as it were with cartropes But their rejoycing is not good so the Apostle 1 Cor 5 6. Neither is the worlds joy confined onely to these two nor 3 Others misery yet can these limits comprehend the latitude of wicked mens rejoycing for as altogether void of compassionate humanity and quite destitute of humane compassion worse then bruite beasts they rejoyce in the miseries of others which is the third object of the worlds joy and wicked mens rejoycing And thus did the bloudy souldiers rejoyce in our blessed Saviours misery a little before his passion putting upon Math 27. 27 28 29 30 31 c. him ascarlet robe and platting a crowne of thornes on his head bowing in derision before him with a HAILE KING OF THE JEVVES thus likewise the high Preists mocking him with the Scribes Elders said he saved others himself he cannot save in a word thus they that stood by at the time of his extreame torment on the crosse when he cryed with a loud voyce Eli Eli lamasabacthani mockt him with a this man calleth for Elias when alas they knew well enough what he
