John Trapp on Proverbs 16:10

Verſ. 10. A divine ſentence is in the lips of the King] It is, or ſhould bee. His words uſually paſſe for Oracles, and many times ſtand for Laws: It ſhould bee his care therefore to ſpeak as the Oracles of God, 1 Pet. 4.11. yea ſo to ſpeak, and ſo to do, as one that ſhall bee judged by the Law of Liberty, Jam. 2.12. (Or as ſome read it) as they that ſhould judge by the Law of Liberty. Our old word Koning, and by contraction King, comes of Con (ſaith Becanus) which comprehends three things, Poſſum, Scio, Audio, I can do it, I know how to do it, and I dare do it. If either hee want power, or skill, or courage to do juſtice, the people inſtead of admiting his divinations, will cry out of him, as the Romans did of Pompey, miſeria noſtra Magnus eſt. This Grandee is our great miſery.

His mouth tranſgreſſeth not in judgement] viz. If hee ask counſel at Gods mouth, as David did, and execute Juſtice, Juſtice, as Moſes ſpeaks, Deut. 16.20. that is, pure Juſtice, without mud or mixture of ſelfiſh affections, ſparing neither the great for might, nor the mean for miſery.
