Sin is the delight of sinners, and grace of good men. Of Doct. the one sort we have many testimonies in this book, but in ¹the second Chapter especially, ver. 14. They delight in doing evil, and rejoice in wicked frowardness. And in the fourth Chapter ver. 17. it is said, that they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence, it is meat and drink unto them to do mischief. Of the other sort the Prophet is an example and pattern, in the hundred and nineteenth Psalm: where in many places he professeth his singular comfort and delight, that he conceiveth in the heavenly word of God, as when he saith: how sweet are thy promises unto my mouth? yea more then honey unto my mouth. And they are the joy of mine heart. Psal. 119. 103. 111.
