Note, 1. It is a pleasure and satisfaction to good men both to see
justice administered by the government they live under, right taking
place and iniquity suppressed, and also to practise it themselves,
according as their sphere is. They not only do justice, but do it with
pleasure, not only for fear of shame, but for love of virtue. 2. It is
a terror to wicked men to see the laws put in execution against vice
and profaneness. It is destruction to them; as it is also a vexation to
them to be forced, either for the support of their credit or for fear
of punishment, to do judgment themselves. Or, if we take it as we read
it, the meaning is, There is true pleasure in the practice of religion,
but certain destruction at the end of all vicious courses.
