John Trapp on Proverbs 24:13-14

Verſ. 13. My ſon, eat thou honey becauſe it is good] Profitable and pleaſant, wholſome and toothſome. So, and much more than ſo is divine knowledge. Plutarch tells of Eudoxus, that he would be willing to be burnt up by the Sun preſently, ſo he might be admitted to come ſo near it, as to learn the nature of it. How ſweet muſt it needs be then to know Chriſt and him crucified? &c. ſweeter it was to David, than Live-honey dropping from the combe, Pſal. 19.10. and 119.103. The beleeving Hebrews knew within themſelves, that there ſhould be a reward, and that their expectation ſhould not be cut off, Heb. 10.34. They drew the circumference of Gods promiſes to the center of their hearts, and ſo living by faith, they had the ſweet-meats of the feaſt of a good Conſcience, as Maſter Latimer hath it: they taſted of that honey, the ſweetneſs whereof none can finde by any diſcourſe (how elegant ſoever) ſo well as by eating of it, as Auguſtine ſpeaketh.
