John Trapp on Proverbs 24:23

Verſ. 23. Theſe things alſo belong to the wiſe] As ſubjects muſt know their duties, ſo Magiſtrates theirs: neither may they hold themſelves too wiſe to learn. God can ſend even a Salomon to School to the Raven, to the Piſmire, yea to the Lillies of the Field; as being able to teach the wiſeſt man by the weakeſt Creature.

It is not good to have reſpect of Perſons] Hebr. to know faces, to regard not ſo much the matter as the man, to hear Perſons ſpeak and not Cauſes, to judge not according to truth and equity, but according to opinion and appearance, to fear or favour. This cannot be good, lawful, or ſafe, Job 13.13. Hee will ſurely (or thorowly) reprove you, (not verbally only, but penally too) if you ſecretly accept Perſons. Of Trajan it is ſaid, that he neither feared nor hated any man; but that he heard the Cauſes of his Subjects without praejudicate impiety, judiciouſly examined them without ſiniſter obliquity, and ſincerely judged them without unjuſt partiality.
