John Trapp on Proverbs 14:35

Verſ. 35. The Kings favour is toward a wiſe ſervant] As was Pharaohs toward Joſeph, Solomons toward Jeroboam, Dariuſſes toward Daniel, Henry the eighths toward Cromwell, whom for his wiſdome and faithfulneſs, hee raiſed from a mean man (ſon to a Blackſmith) to bee firſt Maſter of his Jewel-houſe, then Baron of Okeham in Rutlandſhire, then Knight of the Garter, Earl of Eſſex, Lord great Chamberlain, and laſtly, ordained him his Vicar general.Speed. And if Kings do thus, what will not the King of Kings do for every faithful and wiſe ſervant of his, whom he hath made Ruler over his houſhold, Mat. 24.45. Verily, I ſay unto you, that hee ſhall make him Ruler over all his goods, verſ. 47. yea, partaker of his Maſters joy, Mat. 25.

But his wrath is againſt him that cauſeth ſhame] Such as was Jeroboam at length, Haman, Shebua, Ziba, Gehezi, Ahitophel, Judas, &c. It fares with many Princes, as it doth with the creature called Millipeda, which the more feet it hath, the ſlowlier it goeth. Corrupt ſervants hinder the courſe of Juſtice, that it cannot run down as a torrent. This reflects upon their Lords, and at length falls heavily upon themſelves.
