John Trapp on Proverbs 2:21

Verſ. 21. For the upright ſhall dwell in the land] Of Canaan, a type of Heaven; for by theſe outward and corporal things, inward, ſpiritual, and eternal are underſtood. Here the Wiſe-man ſpeaks after the manner of Moſes Law under which hee lived, Deut. 11. And howſoever upright men ſuffer hardſhip and hunger here, yet they enjoy great tranquillity and felicity, as ſeeing God in all, and depending wholly upon him for help. Well for the preſent, and it will bee better hereafter; This is the upright mans Motto. Heaven (thinks hee) will make amends for all. Hee that ſees viſions of glory, will not matter with St. Stephen a ſhower of ſtones; how much leſs will hee think much though the Lord give him the bread of adverſity, and water of affliction? Iſa. 30.20.
