John Trapp on Isaiah 32:8

Ver. 8. But the liberal deviſeth liberal things] Beneficus beneficia cogitat: munificentias conſultat, & conſulit, in oppoſition to the churl, ver. 7. He is of a publike ſpirit, and ſtudyeth how and where to do moſt good. Auguſtus Caeſar was for this called Pater patriae; Charls the great, Pater orbis. Claudian thus beſpake Honorius, Tu civem patrem que geras, tu conſule cunctis, Non tibi: nec tua te moveant, ſed publica damna.

And by liberal things ſhall be ſtand] One would think he ſhould fall rather: but he knows what he does; and that not getting but giving, not hoarding, but diſtributing is the way to thrive.
