10. Repentance makes joy in Heaven.1 The Angels do as it were keep holy-day, Luke 15. 10. There is joy in the ⟨p. 109⟩presence of the Angels of God, over •ne sinner that repenteth*. As •raise is the music of Heaven, so Repentance is the joy of Heaven. When men neglect the offer of salvation, and freeze in sin, this delights the Devils; but when a soul is brought home to Christ by Repentance, this makes joy among the Angels.
