Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 7:2

2. Keep my commandments, and live : and my law as the apple of thine eye .

i. e. Thou shalt live. A promise in the form of a command, as Prov. 3. 25.

With all possible care and diligence, as men guard that part from all dangers, yea even from the least mote. The Eye is a most noble and necessary, and therefore highly esteemed and beloved [illegible: 1+ letters]art of the Body▪ and the Apple thereof is the most honourable, and beautiful, and useful part of that part, and it is a most tender part, easily hurt or destroyed, and therefore needs to to be diligently watched.
