Obs. 4 It is a most most wicked and vile thing, to make any glad with their wickedness, or to be made glad by wickedness. Yet how many are guilty of this sin? some are so hardened in their wickedness that they will make others drunk, and then laugh at them when they have done so; How far are these from Davids temper? whose eyes ran down with tears, because men kept not the Law, and horror took hold on him; there is no greater sign of a desperate heart hardened in sin, than to laugh at sin in others, and make a sport of it in themselves; and the higher men are in place and dignity the greater is the aggravation of their s•ns; for Princes to be glad at wickedness and to be made merry by iniquity, who are set to be punishers of sin and a terror to evil doers, this is most horrible wickedness, Prov. 29.22. If the Prince hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
