Immediately after John had troubled his conscience for having his brother Philip's wife, then to allay this trouble of John's reproof; Herod then calls for his merry company, his Nobles and his Soldiers about him, that so he might forget ⟨p. 191⟩the disquiet of spirit; but godly men go to good men and to God in a corner, Psal. 61. ver. 2. From the end of the Earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is over whelmed: lead 1me unto the rock that is higher then I. This is the carriage and behaviour of ungodly men.
