<p>Note, 1. The more sinners there are the more sin there is: <i>When the wicked</i>, being countenanced by authority, grow numerous, and walk on every side, no marvel if <i>transgression increases</i>, as a plague in the country is said to increase when still more and more are infected with it. <i>Transgression</i> grows more impudent and bold, more imperious and threatening, when there are many to keep it in countenance. In the old world, when <i>men began to multiply</i>, they began to degenerate and corrupt themselves and one another. 2. The more sin there is the nearer is the ruin threatened. Let not <i>the righteous</i> have their faith and hope shocked by the increase of sin and sinners. Let them not say that they have <i>cleansed their hands in vain</i>, or that <i>God has forsaken the earth</i>, but wait with patience; the transgressors shall fall, the measure of their iniquity will be full, and then they shall fall from their dignity and power, and fall into disgrace and destruction, and <i>the righteous shall</i> have the satisfaction of <i>seeing their fall</i> (<a class="bibleref" title="Ps.37.34" href="/passage/?search=Ps.37.34">Ps. 37:34</a>), perhaps in this world, certainly in the judgment of the great day, when the fall of Gods implacable enemies will be the joy and triumph of glorified saints.
