Proverbs19:6
Verſ. 6. Many will intreat the favour of the Prince] Yea, lye at his feet, and lick up his ſpittle, not being loyal in love for conſcience, but ſubmiſs in ſhew for commodity. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Orph. in Arg. Every man will bee thruſting in where any thing is to bee gotten. The Poets make Litae or Petitions to bee the daughters of Jupiter, and ever about him, to ſignifie, ſaith the Mythologiſt, that Princes and great ones are ſeldome without ſuppliants and ſuters.
And every man is a friend, &c.] See the Note on Chap. 17.8.
