Proverbs11:5
Verſ. 5. The righteouſneſs of the perfect] This is the ſame in effect with verſ. 3. Nunquam ſatis dicitur, quod nunquam ſatis diſcitur. Seneca.
But the wicked ſhall fall by his own wickedneſs] Or, In his own wickedneſs: hee ſhall fall out of one wickedneſs unto another, whiles hee draws iniquity with cords of vanity, and ſin as it were with a cart-rope, Iſa. 5.18. Thus Babylons ſins are ſaid to reach unto Heaven, quaſi concatenatus funis, Rev. 18.5. Therefore ſhee is fallen, ſhee is fallen, certo, brevi, penitus, nondum tamen. Flagitium & flagellum, ut acus & filum. Sin and puniſhment are inſeparable companions.
