John Trapp on Proverbs 13:4

Verſ. 4. The ſoul of the ſluggard deſireth, &c.] Vult, & non vult piger (ſo the Vulgar reads it) The ſluggard would, and hee would not: hee would have the end, but hee would not uſe the means; hee would ſit at Chriſts right hand, but hee would not drink of his cup, or bee baptized with his baptiſm. Lyra compares theſe men to Cats that would fain have fiſh, but are loath to wet their feet. (This is an Engliſh Proverb; for Lyra was a famous Engliſh Jew, and flouriſhed in the year of Grace, 1320.) Affection without endeavour is like Rachel, beautiful, but barren.

But the ſoul of the diligent ſhall bee made fat] i. e. Thoſe that work as well as wiſh, that adde endeavours to their deſires, as 2 Cor. 8.11. David raviſhed with the meditation of the good mans bleſſedneſs, preſently conceives this deſire and purlues it; not, Oh that I had this happineſs! but, Oh that I could uſe the means, that nay wayes were ſo directed, Pſal. 119.4, 5.
