Proverbs22:8
Verſ. 8. Hee that ſoweth iniquity, ſhall reap vanity] The Uſurer and cruel Creditor ſoweth his money, his mammon of iniquity (that ungain grain) upon his poor debtors; and whether it bee a barren year, or a fruitful, a good ſoil, or a bad, Luna affert menſtruos ſenſus, hee hath his conſtant pay, yea, his uſe upon uſe, according to that Greek verſe, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Now can ſuch increaſe bee bleſt? Shall not thoſe that thus ſow the wind, bee ſure to reap the whirlewind?
And the rod of his anger ſhall fail] That is, that tyrannical power which hee exerciſeth upon others as his underlings, ſhall bee broken. God will take out of his hand the rod wherewith hee hath beaten his fellow ſervants, and waſte it upon his own back to the very ſtump.
