Proverbs24:24

24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous ; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him .

To wit, publickly and in judgment, as he now said, and as appears by the publickness of the Curse following upon it, for People or Nations do neither observe nor hate every Man who saith thus privately.

That justifie wicked men in their unrighteous courses.

Partly for the grossness and odiousness of the Crime; and partly for the great and general mischief which such practices bring to civil Societies.

Marginal references: Ch. 17. 1[illegible: 1+ letters]. Isa. 5. 23.
