Proverbs30:28

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands , and is in kings palaces .

Of the thread which she spins out of her own bowels.

With her Legs which he calls Hands, because they serve her for the same purpose, to do her work, to weave her web, and to catch Gnats or Flies, &c.

Is not only in poor Cottages, but many times in Palaces also, where she makes a shift to keep her abode, notwithstanding all the care and pains which is taken to sweep and cleanse it.
