Secondly, God is honoured much in the attribute of his truth; in the truth of his word, in the truth of his threatenings, when the wicked are punished. God hath spoken bloody words concerning wicked men; not only in reference to their future estate in the next life, but to their present estate in this. Say to the wicked it shall be ill with him, the reward of his hands shall be given him. But what is this reward? There are two sorts of rewards; First, rewards of love and favour according to the good which we have done; Secondly, rewards of wrath and anger, penal rewards, according to the evil which we have done. Now when the Lord puts these penal rewards into the hands of the wicked, or pours them upon their heads, he is honoured in his truth as well as his justice, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. As the promises are yea and Amen (2 Cor. 1.20.) so also are the threatenings, unto the glory of God by us. But as when David saw his life in danger every day, he began to question the truth of God, in the promise, that he should live to reign and fit upon the throne of Israel; for saith he (Psal. 116.11. when things went thus with him) I said in my hast all men are liars, even Samuel among the rest, who assured me of the Kingdom by express message from God, but surely he also is deceived, and hath fed me with vain hopes. Now as these words of David according to our translation of them, and the truth of the thing in frequent experiences, show, that Godly men are apt to question the truth of the promise, when themselves are by seemingly contradicting providences much afflicted; so they are apt to question the truth of the threatenings when they see outward providences prospering the wicked; Therefore when the threatenings have their actual yea and Amen, that is, when they are executed upon the ungodly, this also is to the glory of God by us, that is, God is glorified by all his people, who hear of it in the truth of what he hath spoken. Again, as God is magnified in the truth of his threatenings, when any particular wicked man is punished; so when common calamities come upon the wicked, the truth of God or God in his truth is magnified two ways. First, As such calamities are a fulfilling of many Prophecies; secondly, As they are the answer or return of many prayers.

Secondly, God is honoured much in the attribute of his truth; in the truth of his word, in the truth of his threatenings, when the wicked are punished. God hath spoken bloudy words concerning wicked men; not onely in reference to their future estate in the next life, but to their present estate in this. Say to the wicked it shall be ill with him, the reward of his hands shall be given him. But what is this reward? There are two sorts of rewards; First, rewards of love and favour according to the good which we have done; Secondly, rewards of wrath and anger, poenal rewards, according to the evill which we have done. Now when the Lord puts these poenal rewards into the hands of the wicked, or powres them upon their heads, he is honoured in his truth as well as his justice, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. As the promises are yea and Amen (
