John Trapp on Proverbs 28:18

Verſ. 18. Who ſo walketh uprightly ſhall bee ſaved] See the Note on chap. 10.9. Shall be ſaved; A little word, but of large extent. It properly noteth the privative part of a mans happineſs, deliverance from evil: but is put here, and every where almoſt, for the poſitive part too: fruition of good as well as freedom from evil: it comprehendeth 1 Malorum ademptionem. 2 Bonorum adeptionem.

But he that is perverſe in his wayes] Heb. In his two wayes, ſhall fall in one of them. Evil ſhall hunt the wicked man to deſtroy him; and albeit hee may ſhuffle for a ſeaſon from ſide to ſide, as Balaams Aſſe did, to avoyd the Angels ſword, yet he ſhall not eſcape miſchief. Let our Politick Profeſſors look to it, that can tune their Fiddle to the baſe of the times, that can ſhift their ſayls to the ſitting of every wind, that like the Planet Mercury, can be good in conjunction with good, and bad with bad.
