Secondly, wicked men do somewhat for God here, some kind of service that is at least materially a service for God, and God will not have them clamour upon him, that they have nothing for their work, God will give to every one, what they do for him, though it be never so little, you have a famous place for that in Ezekiel: 1Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon caused his army to do great service against Tyre, yet had he no wages for it.
