John Trapp on Proverbs 1:6

Verſ. 6. To underſtand a Proverb, and the Interpretation] Or, the ſweetneſs thereof, there being nothing ſo ſweet to a good ſoul, as the knowledge of dark and deep myſteries; Pſal. 119.103.Heb. Me[illegible: 1 letter]it [illegible: 1 letter]a[illegible: 1 letter] unde. fortaſſe Graecum [non-Latin text not transcribed] & Lati[illegible: 1 letter]um Mel. Rivet. where the ſame word is uſed. The little Book of the Revelation was in Johns mouth ſweet as hony, Rev. 10.9, 10. See the Note there.

And their dark ſayings] Dark to thoſe that are acute obtuſi, that have not their ſenſes exerciſed to diſcern both good and evil, Heb. 5.14. Legum obſcuritates non aſſignemus culpae ſcribentium ſed inſcitiae non aſſe quentium, ſaith hee in Gellius. If the Law bee dark to any, the fault is not in the Law-giver, but in thoſe that ſhould better underſtand it.
