John Trapp on Proverbs 11:10

Verſ. 10. When it goeth well with the righteous] When they are ſet in place of Authority, all the Country fare the better for it. All cannot chuſe but do well, ſo long as thou ruleſt well, ſaid the Senate to Severus the Emperour. And Ita nati eſtis (ſaid hee in Tacitus) ut bona malaque veſtra ad rempublicam pertineant. Publick perſons are either a great mercy, or a great miſery to the whole Country.

And when the wicked periſh, there is ſhouting] For by their fall, the people riſe; and their ruine is the repair of the City.

Cum mors crudelem rapuiſſet ſaeva Neronem, Credibile eſt multos Romam agitaſſe jocos.
