Yea, man is ready to boast, not only of evil done, but of his ability to do evil; They in the Prophet boasted that they were mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink, (Isa. 5.22.) How do some please themselves that they are in power, only, because that gives them an advantage to oppress whom they please, or all those with whom they are displeased. David saw that spirit ruling and raging in spiteful Doeg whom he therefore checks, (Psal. 52.1.) Why boastest thou thy self in mischief, O mighty man? The Apostle found those (Phil. 3.19.) who gloried in their shame; That is, in sinful practices (even making their belly their God) whereof they ought to be ashamed. The Prophet spake of their like long before, (Isa. 3.9.) They declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not; As if it had been their ornament and their honour, their beauty and bravery to be wicked.
