John Trapp on Proverbs 10:7

Verſ. 7. The memory of the juſt is bleſſed] Demetrius had a good report of the truth, 3 Joh. 12. In the Hebrew tongue the ſame word ſignifieth a good name, and a bleſſing. This is one of thoſe bleſſings mentioned verſ. 6. that ſhall bee heaped upon holy men. Holy and reverend is his Name, Pſal. 111.9. How comes Gods Name to bee reverend, but by being holy? Bee good, and do good, ſo ſhall thy name bee heir to thy life; yea, when thou art laid in thy grave, thy ſtock remains, goes forward, and ſhall do, till the day of Doom.

But the name of the wicked ſhall rot] and ſtink as putrified fleſh. Hypocrites then muſt bee detected, though they carry it never ſo clearly; how elſe ſhall they bee deteſted, and ſtink above ground? Simon Magus ſo handled the matter, that Philip miſtook him for a Beleever, and baptized him; but Peter ſoon ſmelt him out, and laid him open in his colours. Hee that perverteth his wayes ſhall bee known. Prov. 10.9. The Lord ſhall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity, for all their cunning contrivances, Pſal. 125.5.
