John Trapp on Proverbs 13:6

Verſ. 6. Righteouſneſs keepeth him that is upright] That, though belyed or otherwiſe abuſed, hee will not let go his integrity, Job 27.5. Davids feet ſtood on an even place, Pſal. 26.12. The Spouſe, though deſpoiled of her veil, and wounded by the watch, yet cleaves cloſe to Chriſt, Cant. 5. Not but that the beſt are ſometimes diſquieted in ſuch caſes; for not the eveneſt weights, but at their firſt putting into the ballance; ſomewhat ſway both parts thereof, not without ſome ſhew of inequality; which yet after ſome little motion, ſettle themſelves in a meet poize and poſture.

But wickedneſs overthroweth the ſinner] Hebr. the ſin, as if the man were transformed into ſins image. What is the tranſgreſſion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria, Lipſ. Antiq. lect. Mic. 1.5. Tubulus quidam paulo ſupra Ciceronem Praetor fuit[illegible: 1 letter] homo tam projecte improbus ut ejus nomen non hominis ſed vitii eſſe videretur, ſaith Lipſias. The Pope is called the Man of ſin, 2 Theſſ. 3.2. to note him Merum ſcelus, ſaith Beza, made up meerly of ſin.
