Proverbs22:11
11 He that loveth pureness of heart , for the grace of his lips, the king shall be his friend.
Who is plain hearted or sincere, and abhors dissimulation.
From those gracious speeches which naturally and commonly flow from a pure heart. Or, and (understand, loveth, out of the former clause) grace of his lips. Whose discourse is gracious and sincere.
The greatest men will, or should, desire, and highly prize the acquaintance and advice of such persons, rather than of Dissemblers and Flatterers, wherewith they are most commonly pestered.
