What is ironic about Capulet's praise of the friar?

In Act IV Scene 2 Capulet says, "Now, afore God! this reverend holy friar, Our whole city is much bound to him." He says this in response to Juliet's lie that Friar Laurence has advised her to obey her father and marry Paris. The audience knows that he has not advised Juliet to do this at all and does not deserve the praise Capulet gives him. If Capulet knew the true state of affairs, he would not be praising the Friar. Hence it is dramatic irony.
