They are distinguished in their Delights: §13for the sport of the ungodly is folly,1 like Belshazzar's; and therefore when they are sick or troubled, they never run to the Word for comfort, as though Gods promises pertained not to them; but to feasts or tables, or tales,2 or music, as Saul did to the harp. But all the delights of the godly are like Davids dance about the Ark;3 they are never merry, but when they are doing well; nor at peace, but when their prayers have overcome God,4 like Jacob.
