Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 17:6

6 Childrens children are the crown of old men , and the glory of children are their fathers .

Their honour and [illegible: 1+ letters]appiness, because they are in themselves Blessings of God and Testimonies of God's favour, although sometimes they may become the shame of their Fathers House.

Namely such Fathers as are wise and godly, as is evident from the nature of the thing, for wicked Parents bring infamy upon their Children.
