mouth are gracious but the lips of a fool will swallow up himselfe 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness and the end of his talk is mischievous madness 14 A foole also is full of words a man cannot tell what shall be and what shall be after him who can tell him 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them because he knoweth not how to goe to the city COherence see in verse 10. These words The words of the wise man is grace are a Reason of what he said verse 10. That wisdome is profitable to direct taken from the grace of a wise mans words which maketh the argument of force howsoever grace be taken Doctr. 1. The words of the wise even of wise Statesmen are grace Of Statesmen Solomon here speaketh from the beginning of this Chapter to the end And he speaketh of such wisdome as is profitable to direct in state affaires verse 10. Their words may be said to be grace First As flowing from the grace and favour of God Psal 45.2 Secondly As ministring grace to the people Ephes 4.29 1 Kings 8 55 to verse 61. 1 Chron. 29.18 At least expressing the grace and favour of God and the Princes favour and grace to them Psal 122.6 7 8 9. Esth 10.3 seeking their wealth speaking peace Thirdly As finding acceptance with the people Prov. 10.32 2 Sam. 3.59 Esth 10.3 Accepted of the multitude of his brethren Doctr. 2. The words of fooles especially of foolish Statesmen the beginning of them is foolishnesse the end of them is madnesse pernicious and mischievous to themselves and others And their wayes are variable and of doubtful event and wearysome even to themselves and all men Esth 3.8 9. Hamon began his speech with a foolish complaint against better men then himselfe accusing them of that for a vice which was a vertue to live a separate course of life from the vaine world Numb 23.9 but the end of his speech was pernicious and mischievous madnesse to the Jewes Esth 3.9 and to himselfe It swallowed up himselfe Esth 7 4 5 6 c. 1 Kings 12.14 It was a foolish beginning to acknowledge his Fathers rigour but the end of his speech was mischievous madnesse to threaten more rigour Variable in their projects Jer. 2.36 37 verse 23. Wearisome wayes Habac. 2.13 Isai 47.13 Isai 57.9 10. Reason 1. From the ignorance of such persons foolish Statesmen of the principles of civil government implyed in that proverbial speech that they know not the way to the City which is wont to be a broad Road way but these discerne it not like men that have lost their way Psal 107.4 40. Reason 2. From Gods rejection of them and their wayes Psal 107.40 Jer. 2.37 Vse 1. To teach Magistrates to speake words of grace Vse 2. To shew the folly and danger of foolish Statesmen Eccles 10.16 to 19. 16 Woe to thee O land when thy King is a child and thy princes eat in the morning 17 Blessed art thou O land when thy Kings is the some of nobles and thy princes eat in due season for strength and not for drunkennesse 18 By much slouthfulnesse the building decayeth and through idlenesse of the hands the house droppeth thorough 19 A feast is made for laughter and wine maketh merrie but money answereth all things IN these words over and above all the former Solomon observeth two other vanities incident to Statesmen viz. Childishnesse and Intemperancy or Epicurisme Which he amplifieth first By the Adjunct wofull estate of a land where so it is v. 16. Secondly by the contrary blessed estate of such a land whose King is the sonne of Nobles and Princes eat in due season for strength not for excesse v. 17. Thirdly by the effects which are 1. Remisnesse in government called here much slothfulnesse and idlenesse of bands And that which easily floweth from thence the decay of the state of the Commonwealth expressed under the comparison of the decay of the house v. 18. 2. Prodigall expence of money which groweth from their intemperancy in feasts as the former did from childishnesse of government v. 19. Doctr. Is is a wofull estate of a Countrey or Common-wealth where the King is childish and the Princes Epicures or intemperate On the contrary the State is blessed where the King is Noble and the Princes temperate The word translated woe doth signifie an Island And because Islands were at first more desolate and lesse inhabited then the continent therefore they called the dolfull fowles that lodged in that Island by the name of Islands such fowles as doe not affect the company of men nor beasts as Scritchowles and Bitternes and Ostriches c. and so the word commeth to signifie woeful or woe such a kind of woe as accompanieth desolate Islands Desolation it selfe Woe to thee O Land whose King is childish and whose Princes are riotous they shall be as a desolate Island an habitation for scritchowles and every dolefull bird A child not so much in yeers For Solomon himselfe was very young when he came to the Crown David saith of him he was young and tender 1 Chron. 29.1 Joash was but seven yeers old when he began to raign yet he ruled well all the daies of his youth from the good councel of his uncle Jehojada 2 Chron. 24.1 Vzziah was but sixteen yeers old yet he raigned well in his young time by the good counsel of Zachariah 2 Chron. 26.3 4 5. Josiah was but eight yeers old and he surpassed them all 2 Chron. 34.1 Onely Manasseth of all the young Kings beginning to raign at twelve yeers he did evil in his youth 2 Chron. 33.1 A child therefore is rather meant childish 1. In understanding 1 Cor 14.20 2 In affection and disposition First cleaving to young Counsellors 1 Kings 12.8 Secondly soon wavering in Religion Ephes 4.14 Thirdly led by sense and sensible objects more then by depth of judgement and reason led by passions and lusts of youth pastimes and recreations but carelesse of matters of importance Thus Rehoboam is said to be young and tender in heart when he was above forty one yeers old 1 Kings 14.21 with 2 Chron. 13.7 And so indeed Solomon expresseth this childishnesse in slothfulnesse and remisnesse of government v. 18. as by eating in the morning he expresseth luxurious feasting v. 19. Whose Princes eat in the morning which implieth both the unseasonablenesse of their eating especially their feasting then as v. 19. expoundeth it of the morning being the principal time of judgement Jer. 21.12 And the excesse and riot of their eating to wit for gluttouy and drunkennesse rather then for strength as appeareth by the opposition of good Princes diet v. 17. Reason 1. From the danger of childish government to a State as also of riotous government Which dangers be 1.
