Proverbs9:3
3. She hath sent forth her maidens , she crieth upon the highest places of the city:
Her Servants to invite the Guests, Ministers of the Word whom he calls Maidens partly for the decency of the parable; for Wisdom being compared to a great Princess, was fit to be attended upon by Maidens; and partly to shew that God by his Word did work sweetly, though strongly, and did allure and draw, rather than drive sinners to repentance.
Either upon the tops of the Houses which were flat: Or rather from such high seats as those from which Judges delivered their Sentences, and Officers made Proclamations, for the conveniency of the Peoples better hearing.
