John Trapp on Proverbs 26:14

Verſ. 14. As the door turneth upon his hinges] But comes not off, unleſſe lifted or knocked off: So neither comes the ſluggard out of his feathered neſt, (where he lyes ſoaking and ſtretching) unleſſe hard hunger or other neceſſity rouſe and raiſe him. As abroad there is a Lion, ſo at home there is a Lurk, a Lurdain, and a Loſel, that lives in the world to no purpoſe, yea to bad purpoſe; and being wiſe in his own conceit, will not accept of better counſel. Thoſe whoſe heads are laid upon down-pillows, are not apt to hear noyſes; no more are thoſe that live at eaſe in Zi[illegible: 1 letter]n, to hearken to wholſome advice. Or if ſometimes they have a kind of willingneſſe and velleity to doe better; yet it is but as the door that turns on the hinges, but yet hangs ſtill upon them.
