Ezekiel28:4
Ver. 4. With thy wiſdom — thou haſt gotten thee riches] Which yet is not every wiſe mans happineſſe. Aelian obſerveth that the wiſeſt and beſt of the Grecians were very poor: as Socrates, Ariſtides, Phecion, Ephialtes, Epaminondas, Pel[illegible: 1 letter]pidas, Var. hiſt. lib. 2. Eumolpus. Lamachus, and others. Fortuna fere favet fatuis: neſcio quomodo, bona mentis ſoror eſt paupertas, ſaith he in Petronius: Piety goeth oft yoked with poverty.
