Proverbs11:19

Verſ. 19. As righteouſneſſe tendeth to life] Hebr. Lives, for godlineſſe hath the promiſe of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Tim. 4.8. And this is that ſure reward ſpoken of in the former verſe: For hee that ſoweth to the Spirit, ſhall of the Spirit reap life everlaſting, Gal. 6.8. which indeed is the only life that deſerveth ſo to be called and counted.

So he that purſueth evil] That follows it hot-foot, as Aſael followed Abner, that is wholly carried after it, and thinks to have a great catch of it, that works all uncleanneſſe with greedineſſe, Epheſ. 4.19. This the Prophet calls a ſpirit of whoredome, a ſtrong inclination, a vehement impetus to that and other ſins, an adding drunkenneſſe to thirſt, rebellion to ſin, till wrath come upon them to the utmoſt. Hell gapes for ſuch ſinners.
