Further we may observe, When wicked men are in perplexity, Obs. 4 then God enjoys himself in his perfection: Ezek. 18.4. When they are in wrath and sorrow, and God hath not that service from them in external worship which he hath had; but I care not, I will return unto my place, and enjoy my self in my glory: and in this is the misery of the damned in Hell,1 we are herein eternal torments and horror, but what doth God lose by this? He is in his glory and enjoys Himself in perfect rest.
