When men have brought misery upon themselves, this is one great argument of their misery, That they shall see others rejoycing, but all matter of joy shall be taken from themselves. It's not for them to rejoyce as others do, that which is the cause of the rejoycing to others you have had and abused it,* 1.1 you have abused those mercies of God, and now you must not rejoyce as other people do: That place is very no∣table for this in Luke, 13. 28. There shall be weeping and gna∣shing of teeth: When ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Ja∣cob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and you your selves thrust out. This is the aggravation of our misery to see others in happiness and in a rejoycing condition, and you your selves cast out,* 1.2 you must not rejoice as others do. As if a man were cast into a dungeon neer the street, and there should be a day of triumph, and feastivitie and jolitie, there should be much rejoycing, musick, and bra∣very without in the Citie, and he lying in a dark dungeon and hears the jolitie of the Citie: this would be a great ag∣gravation

to his misery, yes, would he think, such that have their liberty may rejoyce, but I must not rejoyce as they do; and this will be the aggravation of the misery of the damned hereafter, when they shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and themselves cast out; it may be the Father shall see his Child in the Kingdom of God, and himself in Hell being cast out; they shal rejoice eternally when I must be in ever∣lasting torments.
