Fourthly, Joy ariseth to the righteous, because God is honoured in the fall of wicked men; And that's their chiefest joy. That God is honoured is more joy to the righteous, then that themselves are saved, how much more then, then that the wicked are destroyed. There is a threefold honour arising to God when the wicked fall.

First, God is honoured in his justice; such a day is the day of the declaration of the righteous judgement of God; as the Apostle speaks of the great day of Judgement (Rom. 2.5.) Thou after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thy self wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgement of God.

They know and believe that God is righteous, when the wicked prosper (Jer. 12.1.)

And as, that God is just is the faith and stay of the Saints, so the appearances of his justice are their joy and triumph.

Some doe even question the justice of God when wicked men prosper, but he is vindicated in his justice when wicked men fall; It cannot but please righteous men, to see the righteous God exalted, or God exalted in his righteousnesse. They know and beleeve that God is righteous, when the wicked prosper (
