John Trapp on Proverbs 26:20

Verſ. 20. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out] Lignis ignis conſervatur: ſo is ſtrife by evil tongues, theſe are the Devils bellows and boutefeaus. Ye ſhall conceive chaff, yee ſhall bring forth ſtubble, your breath as fire ſhall devour you, Iſa. 33.11. Such is the breath of Tale-bearers. A cover-feu bell would doe well for theſe Incendiaries, that elſe may ſet on fire the whole courſe of Nature, Jam. 3.6. See the Note on Chap. 16.28.
