did that worthie Queene Hester who although it was present death for her to goe in to the king vnlesse she should finde speciall fauour in his eyes yet she so committed her wayes to the Lord hauing first vsed prayer and fasting that saying to her selfe if I perish I perish she boldly entred into his presence 4 The Lord hath made all men for him selfe yea euen the wicked man vnto the day of euill Predestination is here spoken of The Lord the eternall God by whom all things haue their being hath made hath not onely foreknowen but or dained all meÌ„ aswell Iewes and Gentils young as old rich as poore See for this doctrine the whole 9. chap. to the Rom. for him selfe for the setting forth of his wisdome power iustice and glorie Yea euen the wicked man he hath ordained the reprobate person him self also who because he is an enemie to Gods glorie may seeme not to haue bene appointed or created to his glorie vnto the day of euill to the day of Iudgement and of execution that so in this vessell of wrath the iustice of God may be declared The originall cause of the daÌ„nation of men is in them selues seeing they are wicked of them selues without any compulsion offred on the Lordes part But as here is shewed the will of God which is a rule of iustice is the fountaine not onely of election but of reprobation Thus God is without fault in refusing the wicked sith he is indebted vnto none but the wicked are most iustly condemned because by their sinnes they are indebted vnto God 5 Euery one who is proud in heart is abhomination to the Lord though hand ioyne in hand he shall not be vnpunished See examples in Pharao the builders of Babell Nebuchadnezar and Herod The Lord will plague euery high minded person who neither by any aide nor by any art shal be able auoide his IudgemeÌ„t Some are not very lofty in their lookes nor glorious in their apparell and yet haue in them most stout hearts and proud spirites These are abhominable in Gods sight and shall be plagued as well as the gay and boasting peacockes of the world 6 By mercie and truth iniquitie is purged and by the feare of God euill is departed from It is most sure and certaine that sinnes are couered and pardoned vnto men not by the vertue or excellencie of their good workes or merites but by the tender mercy of God in Christ Luc. 1.72 Psal 25.10 Psal 85.9.10 by his performing of his promises in him Neuerthelesse it is also an vndoubted truth that by vnfained repeÌ„taÌ„ce the iudgement of God is preuented when as iniquitie is broken off by practising of that which is good The Prophet Daniell teacheth this doctrine most paynely wheÌ„ he sayth to Nebuchadnezar breake of thy sinnes with righteousnesse and thine iniquities with mercy toward the afflicted Dan. 4.27 that thy prosperitie may be prolonged Thus then by mercie and truth iniquitie is purged sinne committed is remitted by the meere grace of God in Christ in whom all his promises are yea and amen but moreouer when pitifulnesse and faithfulnesse is practised temporall chastisements for foule faults threatened or inflicted are stayed or remoued the Lord beyng well pleased with such sacrifices of obedience albeit the sacrifice which Christ hath offred on the Crosse is onely meritorious who is the onely propitiatioÌ„ for our sinnes And by the feare of God euill is departed from The awe or reuerence of the Lord is that thing which maketh men to shunne sinne so that abstayning from iniquitie they incurre not the wrath or indignatioÌ„ of the Lord. This verse theÌ„ teacheth whereby the pollutioÌ„ of sinne may so be washt away as that it shall not cry for vengeance and againe whereby it may so be auoyded as that it shall not be able to infect vs. 7 When the Lord fauoureth the wayes of a maÌ„ he maketh his enemies at peace with him See examples in the I sraelites the Egyptians in Dauid and Saul in Ahasuerus and Mordechaâ— and a like sentence Iob. 5.23 When the Lord fauoureth the wayes of a man at what time God is reconciled to an vpright person he maketh his enemtes he causeth those who were his aduersaries for the time to be at peace with him not onely to lay aside their hatted but to beare good will or to enter into a league of friendship with him 8 Better is a litle with righteousnesse then a great reuenue with wrong A small stocke gotten prospereth better and is more to be esteemed then great wealth scraped together by iniurie and oppression 9 The heart of man purposeth his way but the Lord ordereth his steps MaÌ„ purposeth as we say but God disposeth Many iourneyes are often intended many courses are deuised but God causeth things to come to passe as he seeth good 10 A diuine sentence shall be in the lippes of the king his mouth shal not transgresse in iudgement Kings in old time did vse to sit in iudgemeÌ„t Hence it is that here it is sayd a diuine sentence shall be in the lips of the king The meaning hereof is See the roote hereof Exod. 23.2 An example 1. King 3.27 that a Prince or ludge should haue a gift of searching or ferretting out the truth His lips shall not transgresse in iudgement he should neuer giue a rash or false sentence on any matter See the roote herof Deut. 1.17 I tem 25.13 a like charge 2. Chron. 19.6 11 The beame and scole of the ballances of iustice belong to the Lord all the weights of the bagge are his worke All the parts of the ballance and all things thereto belonging are the Lordes ordinance yea he hath also commaunded that they be vsed aright 12 It should be an abhomination to kings to commit wickednesse for the throne is established by iustice It should be an abhominatioÌ„ to kings to coÌ„mit wickednes it is the part of rulers so to abhorre the working of iniquitie See an example in Dauid Psal 101. as that they neither theÌ„ selues commit grosse vices nor allow them but rather detest theÌ„ in other For the throne is established by iustice The cause why Princes should aboue all other abhorre iniquitie is because the royall crown and authoritie is mainteined not so much by strength as by equitie which subiects loue and God doth blesse 13 Righteous lippes should be the delite of kings and he who speaketh right things is to be loued by them Righteous lips should be the delite of kings wise and faithfull speeches should please Princes and he who speaketh right things is to be loued by them the person also who vttereth the truth or giueth sage aduise is to be entertained in their courts and to be esteemed 14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death but a wise man will pacifie it The wrath of a king is as messengers of death the furie of Princes is of so great force

part from them The desire present is pleasant to the soule Vaine people are exceedingly glad when they are made partakers of those things which they wish be they neuer such foolish toyes or vnlawfull delites But it is an abhomination to fooles to depart from euill On the contrarie side it is a deadly griefe vnto the wicked to be weaned or pulled from their sinnes or vanities 20 He which walketh with the wise shall be the wiser but he who keepeth company with fooles shall waxe the worser In this verse is declared that there is great force in the companie which a man keepeth to chaunge him into the better or the worse He is sayd to walke with the wise who is often in their coÌ„panie to heare their words to see their behauiour Such a one waxeth wiser that is more learned zelous and religious then he was before But he who keepeth coÌ„panie c. Such a one as ioyneth in fellowship with the vngodly shall be the worse in two respects the one that he shall be infected thereby the other that he shall be plagued therewith 21 Euill pursueth sinners but that which is good rewardeth the iust Since as a pursuiuant troubleth Psal 34.22.23 attacheth and slayeth the wicked maÌ„ but Gods blessing as a reward of mercie maketh a recompence to the vpright person for all his paines in doing of his dutie 22 The good man leaueth an inheritance to his childrens children and the sinners goods are layd vp for the iust man The godly person not onely him selfe enioyeth his goods whilest he liueth but when he dieth leaueth the same in such sort to his childreÌ„ as that also their children through Gods mercie inherit the same On the contrarie side the wicked man is so farre off from leauing his goods to his posteritie as that from him by Gods prouidence they are often rolled vpon the righteous person who is his heire as it were against his will 23 The poore * The which were before vntilled and so not helped by labour or sâ—â—le plowing vp new ground haue much foode but some consume them selues thorough slouthfulnesse The meaning of this Prouerbe is that a litle grouÌ„d well tilled or a litle stocke well employed and followed bringeth through Gods blessing great abundance and great aduantage as on the contrary side great wealth or a large patrimonie is through idlenesse brought to litle or nothing 24 He which spareth his rod hateth his child but he which loueth him chasteneth him betimes The cockering father who seldome or neuer correcteth his sonne is truly sayd to hate him For he is an enemie if not in affection yet in this his action to his welfare On the contrarie side he which loueth him chasteneth him betimes He which tendereth the good estate of his child whilest he is yet yoÌ„g prouideth a teacher to instruct him and twigs to correct him 25 The iust man eateth to the satisfying of his soule but the bellie of the wicked shal want They who serue God aright and labour faithfully in their callings shall haue plentifull store of necessaries On the contrarie side the vngodly shall suffer extreme penurie THE XIIII CHAPTER 1 A wise woman buildeth vp her house but a foolish woman pulleth it downe with her owne hands A Christian matrone on the one side and an vngodly wife on the other is here described Euen as a cunning carpeÌ„ter going about to build an house layeth it on a foundation heweth out timber for it and finally at length raiseth vp the frame so a godly matrone or good houswife founding her familie on the knowledge of Christ by labouring faithfully in her calling filleth her house with store of necessaries On the contrary side such a woman as being voyd of the feare of God neglecteth her calling or prodigally lauisheth out her husbaÌ„ds goods ouerthroweth the state of her familie and consumeth all that is in her house 2 He which walketh vprightly feareth God but he who is crooked in his wayes despiseth him Good workes are here shewed to be proofes or testimonies of the feare of God Manie deceiue them selues with a shew of godlinesse but euerie one shall know whether he feareth God or no not by the outward profession of religion which he maketh but by his doing of Gods will On the contrarie side a dissolute life is an euident demonstration of the prophanesse of the heart 3 In the mouth of a foole is a staffe of pride but in the lips of the wise their owne preseruation The good toung hath herein a reward promised but the euill is threatned In the mouth of a foole is a staffe of pride He who abuseth his toung shall smart for his follie For as he who carrying a staffe in his hand striketh euerie one therewith is oftentimes him selfe wel cudgelled for his labour so he who smiteth other with his toung shall at last be beaten for his rash speeches But eueÌ„ as he who carrieth a buckler about with him preserueth him selfe from manie blowes so he who speaketh prudently or answereth discreetly by this meanes preserueth him selfe from much danger and trouble 4 When there are no oxen the barne is * Or emptie cleane but store of fruite commeth by the strength of an oxe Husbandrie is commended in this verse WheÌ„ there are no oxen where the meanes of husbandrie are neglected the barne is cleane there is want of necessaries but store of fruite commeth there is aboundance of needefull prouision by the strength of an oxe where tillage or plowing with oxen is diligently vsed An oxe is here mentioned as a principall meanes of riches in as much as it being a good labourer draweth the teame helpeth the plough treadeth out the corne 5 A faithfull witnesse will not lye but a false record breatheth forth lyes Neither for feare nor fauour will the iust man tell an vntruth On the contrary side the wicked man powreth and faceth downe lyes 6 The scorner seeketh wisedome and she will not be found but knowledge is easie to him who is prudent Not onely he is a scorner who derideth all godlynesse but he who professing Religion liueth wickedly Now as it is the custome of men when such come to the doores of their houses whoÌ„ they care not for to refuse to see them or to speake with them but if peraduenture friends come to visite them then to shew them selues yea to runne out to meete them so the grace of Gods spirite estrangeth her selfe froÌ„ the proud and vngodly but appeareth draweth neare vnto the modest For he who is holy humble easily attaineth the true knowledge of God and of his sonne Iesus Christ 7 Depart from the presence of a foolish man and from him whom thou perceiuest not to haue the lippes of knowledge Before 4.26 See an example in Paule 1. Cor. 9.26.27 Euilim ialits ashem Euery foole maketh a mocke of sin or of araignement This interpretation is receaued agreable to the wordes
