Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 26:22

This was delivered before, Ch. 18. 8. and is here repeated as being a point of great concernment to the Peace and Welfare of all societies, and fit to be oft and earnestly pressed upon the consciences of men, because of their great and general proneness to this sin.
