Proverbs28:5

Verſ. 5. Evill men underſtand not judgement] They are wiſe to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge: their wits work not that way, they are bard and brutiſh as horſe and aſſe, Pſal. 32. Yea they fall beneath the ſtirrup of reaſon, and know not their owner, which yet the ox and aſſe doth, Eſa. 1.3. no wiſer at 70 years old, than at ſeven. Ut liberius peccent, libenter ignorant, not willing to know what they are, not minded to practice.

But they that ſeek the Lord underſtand all things] Not all that is poſſible to be known,De Baldo dice [illegible: 1 letter]e ſolebant nihil unquam cum ignoraſſe. as Averroes ſaith, Ariſtotle did, as the Civilians ſay their Baldus did, as the Papiſts ſay Toſtatus did: but they underſtand all things needful to ſalvation, and they often meditate on the laſt judgement.
