John Trapp on Proverbs 25:2

Verſ. 2. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing] That what we conceive not, we may admire (mirari non rimari) and cry out with Paul, O the depth! Rom. 11.33. as the Romans dedicated to their Goddeſſe Victoria a certain Lake, the depth whereof they could not dive into. God is much to be magnified for what hee hath revealed unto his people in the holy Scriptures, for their eternal good. But thoſe unſearchable ſecrets of his (ſuch as are the union of the three Perſons into one Nature, and of two Natures into one Perſon, his wonderful Decrees, and the no leſſe wonderful execution thereof &c.) theſe make exceeding much to the glory of his infinite Wiſdom, and ſurpaſſing greatneſſe;Ariſtot. in ſpeaking whereof our ſafeſt eloquence is our ſilence, ſith tantum recedit quantum capitur, ſaith Nazianzen, much like that Pool ſpoken of by Polycritus, which in compaſſe at the firſt, ſcarce ſeemed to exceed the breadth of a ſhield; but if any went in to waſh, it extended it ſelf more and more.

But the honour of Kings is to ſearch out a matter] As Salomon did that of the two Harlots, 1 King. 3.Job 29.16. There are that divide this Book of Proverbs into three parts. In the nine firſt Chapters things of a lower nature, and fit for inſtruction of youth, are ſet down and deſcribed. Next, From thence to this five and twentieth Chapter the wiſe man diſcourſeth of all ſorts of virtues and vices, ſutable to all ſorts of People. Laſtly, From this Chapter to the end he treateth (for the moſt part) of higher matters, as of King-craft, and State-buſineſs.
