Proverbs10:11
Verſ. 11. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life] Vena vitae [illegible: 1 letter]s juſti. A fountain runs after it hath run, ſo doth a good mans mouth unceſſantly utter the words of truth and ſoberneſs, more perennis aquae. Act. 25.26. See the reaſon hereof, Pſal. 37.30 31. The Law of his God is in his heart, that Law of his mind, Rom. 7.23. that counterpane of the written Law, Heb. 8.10. that good treaſure, Matth. 12.35. that is daily drawn out, and yet not diminiſhed, Salienti aquarum fonti undas ſi tollas, nec exhauritur, nec extennatur, ſed dulceſcit. Take water from a well, it loſes nothing, but becomes better and ſweeter.
But violence covereth] See the Note on verſ. 6.
