Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 25:7

7 For better it is that it be said unto thee , Come up hither: than that thou shouldst be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen .

It is more for thy credit and comfort.

By some publick Officer▪ or by the King himself.

Into whose presence and acquaintance thou hast so boldly intruded thy self, who as before he observed thy impudence so now he sees and suffers this publick disgrace to be cast upon thee.
