Yea,1 but it is the Just or the Righteous man, will peradventure some say, that must, that may thus rejoice: And where are any such?u Who can say, saith Solomon, I have so purified mine heart, that I am wholly free from sin? No:x There is no man Just or righteous on earth, that doth ever well, and ynever evil. A vain thing may it seem then to exhort men to rejoice, when the condition annexed is such as excludeth all from rejoicing. To what end is it to incite the Just to rejoice, when there are none such that may rejoice?
